Facing off in the ring with Joseph Parker isn't a wise move for most professional boxers but 3 Sport's own heavyweight champ Hamish McKay dared to step through the ropes to go toe-to-toe with the leading Kiwi pugilist.
On hand to promote the release of the movie Southpaw starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Parker showed off his impressive hand speed and put the 'Manawatu Mauler' through his paces.
Although it's fair to say McKay got the points on the sledging front! Brave move or stupid one?
Watch the video to see how Hamish went and if he walked out of the squared circle with everything intact.
