One day on from his emphatic victory over Francois Botha and Joseph Parker is keeping his feet firmly on the ground.

Parker knocked out Botha in the second round of their heavyweight bout last night and he says the celebrations went well into the night.

"Didn't really get much sleep, I'm overwhelmed and very happy," Parker says.

His trainer Kevin Barry says the future of the young New Zealand heavyweight is looking bright and he is already looking ahead.

"Joseph will fight probably three or four more times this year," Barry says.

Barry is aware the New Zealand public will probably want New Zealand fights, but he is looking overseas.

"There's a number of guys that I'm looking at and a bunch of them are Americans," he says.

However Barry all but ruled out a match up against David Tua saying the prospect was completely unrealistic at this stage in Parker's career.
