    Joshua and Parker confirmed for end of March in Cardiff. Hoping for a Parker win. Think he’ll give AJ a tougher test than most expect.

    Joshua will deal with Parker with ease, different level completely.

    Parker's power is way overrated. It all depends on AJ's gas tank but I think AJ will outbox Parker and hurt him. Parker might make the 12 rounds but I'd be shocked if he beats AJ.

    Parker is genuinely *..

    Mega easy night's work for Joshua..

    Watched the full Parker/Takam fight when it was on and Parker was awful. Average. No stinging power. Looked gassed badly halfway through..

    If this is one of the top ranked heavyweights then it's not as good a division as I was hoping it was shaping up to be..

    Don't know much about him but Deontay Wilder looks like he could be a dangerous opponent for AJ?

    I just think AJ has serious stamina issues. Don’t think you even need to engage him. Stay out his way, and frustrate him for 5 or 6 rounds and he’ll be *.
    Would love a Parker win but I do think the robot beats him.

    He's a danger because of his power and he's so unorthodox or clumsy depending on your view, but no one really knows as he fought such mediocre boxers. There are so many rumours about both their chins being suspect, but at least we know AJ will do all he can to get up when he's knocked down, we don't know how Wilder will cope with someone that has power. Wilder's next fight against Ortiz should tell us how good or bad Wilder really is.

    His win against Charlie Zelenoff for the UBF title has to be his best performance.

    Charlie Z was robbed in that fight, no one will beat the GOAT Charlie.

    Comments Thread For: Parker: Tyson Fury Might Walk Me to the Ring for Joshua Fight
    Joseph Parker might be flanked by an even bigger heavyweight when he walks to the ring for his showdown with Anthony Joshua. Parker showed some gamesmanship by suggesting Tuesday that he might ask former heavyweight champ Tyson Fury to make the long walk with him from his dressing room to the ring March 31 at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. Fury, Joshua's biggest British rival, has routinely talked trash to the unbeaten knockout artist since announcing he'll make his comeback.

    Comments Thread For: Photos: Carl Frampton, Nonito Donaire - Go Face To Face
    There was a healthy amount of mutual respect on show in Belfast today as Carl Frampton (24-1, 14 KOs) and Nonito Donaire (38-4, 24 KOs) lavished each other with praise when formally announcing their April 21 showdown at the city's SSE Arena venue, which will be shown live on BT Sport here in the U.K.
