Joseph Parker and his team have been slammed by overseas fans and media after a shambolic press conference this afternoon.

The press conference was held to update the negotiations between Parker and current IBF, WBA and IBO champion Anthony Joshua, but a sideshow sent a torrent of criticism the way of Parker and his Duco camp.

The Parker camp promised to show an exclusive video over a minute long which shows Joshua being continually knocked down in sparring.

However, it left onlookers underwhelmed, including The Sun, who noted that the "homemade style clips came from global blockbuster fights against Wladimir Klitschko and Dillian Whyte."

To make matters worse, it took Team Parker several minutes to turn on the film, while signs and microphones both fell down during the press conference.

Joseph Parker and his team are so amateur this is cringe

During the press conference, Parker's team offered £20,000 to any Joshua fan who "can produce credible video of [Parker] being dropped."

"Parker has never been dropped. Not as an amateur, in sparring or in his profession," said Parker's promoted, David Higgins

"He's beaten hard men like Carlos Takam, who never dropped him."

How embarrassing are @joeboxerparker and David Higgins 😂 Looks like that desperate press conference was in Parkers bedroom 🙈I hope AJ knocks him clean out #Boxing #Joshua

That joseph parker "press conference" was painful to watch... So cringeworthy and desperate

Higgins, and more recently Parker, have made a point of making reference to what they describe as Joshua's suspect chin.

Parker insists he has never been hurt in a fight or in sparring much less knocked down.
