Joseph Parker believes he can conquer the heavyweight division and be on top "for a very long time" after admitting he has discovered a new lease of confidence in recent times.
The New Zealander faces Daniel Dubois to challenge for the latter's IBF heavyweight title as part of Riyadh Season's The Last Crescendo, live on DAZN Pay-Per-View next year.

Parker, a former WBO champion between 2016 and 2018, appeared to be out of contention as recently as two years ago following a third career loss, against Joe Joyce.
With a steady rebuild behind him after wins over Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang now however, the Auckland-born star acknowledges that he has rediscovered his mojo now.
"I always believed in myself, but sometimes, when things don't going your way, you do question why things aren’t flowing how they should." he told DAZN's The Ariel x Ade Show.
"Then you start questioning yourself, the team, [and] what you are doing in terms of training. I said to my wife afterwards that this is not how it is supposed to be.
"When I went into camp, more questions arose. When you understand training, when you understand what you’re doing, your whole mindset changes.
"From the Joyce loss, to now, the confidence has grown dramatically. I feel I can take over this division, and I can stay at the top for a very long time."
If Parker does indeed defeat Dubois, it will mark one of the sport's most impressive comebacks this century, and potentially set up an undisputed bout down the line too.
