Biography

Born in Wellington on 10 July 1915, Parker was the son of Joseph Elvery Parker and Annie Parker (née Gosling).[3][4]

Parker won the New Zealand amateur bantamweight boxing title in 1937.[5] He was duly selected to represent New Zealand in the same division at the 1938 British Empire Games,[6] but was eliminated in his first bout, being narrowly beaten on points by the English fighter, William Butler, who went on to win the gold medal.[2][7][8]

During World War II, Parker served as a stoker first class in the Royal New Zealand Navy.[1]

Parker died on 9 August 1993, and was buried at Makara Cemetery.[1]
