After Joseph Parker dominated the German champ last weekend and won in the second round, Burger King had to honour the pledge it made to its new mascot (under duress) and sell Whoppers for $2. And Parker’s thunder face has returned.

Burger King put its name on Parker’s Road to the Title events this year, and overseas it has had a long connection to boxing, with ads featuring Evander Holyfield, sponsorship of the Jamaican team and terrible product placements in video games.
