Parsons won his first two fights against a Jack Curran(1-10-2) then lost three straight, the first a 6 rounder to Harry Painter. He then reeled out 11 straight wins including a couple over Wally Curtis, one over Dave Elmes(11-3-0,1 who had a short but somewhat interesting career), and LHW Ted Mason(20-13-1,16KO).
After that, Parsons career tailed off going 3-5-1 over the last couple years. He lost fights to Vic Phayer, Brian Anders, and Arthur Howard, with a win against George Walker and cruiserweight Dennis Fewkes(16-16-1,8KO). After loosing to Howard in February 1954, Parsons retired from the ring until he staged a 1 fight comeback in October 1957 loosing a 5th round TKO to Colin Strauch.
