Kiwi boxer Joseph Parker might be used to delivering knockout blows, but a chance meeting with singing sensation Lorde has turned him into a big softy.
Parker this afternoon tweeted a pic of himself with Lorde at Los Angeles Airport before he caught his flight back from training in Las Vegas.
Parker's next fight is against former World Heavyweight Championship challenger Kali 'Mean Hands' Meehan who is the reigning Super 8 champion who took out Shane Cameron in 2014.
The pair will take to the ring at Auckland's Trusts Arena on October 15.
