    Parker has no power. AJ will have no respect for that and will walk through him.

    That's great news. And shows AJ is serious about taking on the entire division. Respect to Parker because he realized the fantastic opportunity at hand, both financially and for his track record. Bottom line, this is great for the division and fans of HW boxing.

    I don't think it was in danger of not happening but I'm still sighing a breath of relief now it's being made official.

    I predict a Joshua KO in the later rounds. Parker is good, solid and dangerous but seems basic, everybody saying he will push a fast pace to punish Joshua's stamina problems but Parker doesn't like a fast pace either and I've seen him gas out too. And Joshua is guna Come in lighter himself. But he does bang, has got fast and accurate hands and as lame as that video Higgins pit together was it show Joshua is vulnerable if you can get to him.

    This won't be a fast pace fight and AJ won't go in blasting till he knows he has Parker hurt. I think we will see a little gulf in class between the 2 of them in Joshua's favour.

    Interestingly enough, boxrec has Joshua vs Parker listed as a 4-star fight.

    £400 looks like the cheap end now! Managed to sort my hotel for £140 a few weeks back so quite happy with that!

    If Parker loses, which he probably will, will you finally give AJ credit?

    Yep even the local travel lodge is asking for over £200 for one night now. AirBnB is probably a better option at those prices.
