WBO heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua has said his solid African background could be the joker when he enters the squared ropes with New Zealand opponent, Joseph Parker ahead of their unification fight this month end at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.

Parker was born in New Zealand, although his parents originally hail from Samoa, Joshua has a Nigerian mother and Irish father spending his early years in the Southern part of Nigeria but represents Britain.

Joshua who is edging closer to his world title said; “His upbringing, you know spiritual people, solid people, same as my family, spiritual, solid, born in Africa.

When asked to compare Parker with Wilder, he said; “When he [Parker] throws his shots with a left and a right, if the left doesn’t hit you, the right catches you as you are moving in and knocks the majority of his opponents out.”

Both fighters go into the ring flaunting an impeccable record of no defeat so far in their careers.
