Joseph Parker shows off hidden piano talent

Kiwi boxer Joseph Parker has shown off his impressive piano skills in a 60 second YouTube video.

Parker was filmed by his corner man Bryan Barry playing the piano ahead of his boxing bout with Australian boxer Bowie Tupou in Invercargill last night.

"When I'm not boxing, I play instruments. I play guitar, I jam on the piano, drums, and even the triangle," Parker told Stuff.co.nz.

"I've played the guitar since I was 12, I've played the piano since I was 15. My sister plays piano, and my brother use to be on the drums. My dad sings, he's got a good voice. So, yeah, we are musical."

In front of a noisy crowd of 4,000 at Stadium Southland and an international television audience, Parker put the Tongan-Australian down one minute and three seconds into the fight.
