Joseph Parker's October 15 bout with Kali Meehan has been dubbed 'Judgement Day' and the Kiwi heavyweight acknowledges he'll have to alter his game plan for the fight.

Meehan measures in at 196cm and Parker says it will be harder to get inside against the big man

"Getting in close you have to jab your way in, the jab's very important and you have to bob and weave," Parker said.

The jab won't be Parker's only weapon, he says trainer Kevin Barry will devise more strategies for the Meehan fight when they return to camp in Las Vegas later in the month.

Parker's 15th pro bout against Bowie Tupou at the weekend only lasted 63 seconds but neither he, nor Barry, are concerned about his lack of time in the ring.

In fact, it could be a bonus as Parker won't need to spend long recovering from the fight.
