Jerome Kaino calls out Joseph Parker for an outrageous challenge!

Well, by the looks of things it doesn't seem like there's many people in the boxing world that are worthy of our world champs time, so he's moved onto picking fights with rugby players.

Kiwi sporting celebrities, All Black Jerome Kaino and professional boxer Joseph Parker, have been egging each other on taste test some creepy crawlies.

In a Facebook post promoting the show, TVNZ asked fans if they were stranded on a desert island, would they rather eat a tarantula, centipede, cricket or scorpion.

Kaino starts the cheeky chat with, “You been hitting the tarantulas pre-fight Joseph Parker?”

Parker then fires back: “Doubt it uce, you keen? 😂😂 A turbocharge to get you back on the paddock sooner.”

The pair continued to joke back and forth, with other Survivor fans joining in, before Jerome declared: “Game on brother.”

Sounds like this challenge just got accepted!
