    Yesterday we had the news that Parker had surgery on his elbows in Nov - and is now back to 100%. (Back to the "old" powerful Parker - so he says).

    Many are writing Parker off. But are chances of an upset rising?

    Take a look below at today's press conference - the most confident I have ever seen from Parker-

    He's already won the battle of stylishness, he looks really dapper in those garms.

    The only way he could sneak up and be effective is with a bat in his hand....of course he better not miss. :rosstheboss

    Parker looked great at the workouts...probably gets him two more rounds which makes me change my prediction to a round 6 win for Joshua .

    As AJ MAY again take role of a slow brutality beat down...the bell might not ring in the 4th round though this time?

    Parker at his best is sure a top 5 fighter.:ggg

    Hope Joshua is not looking past Parker. A bit too much talk of Wilder and what fights are next for Joshua and people thinking it's an easy fight. This is biggest test for both guys.

    No matter what they're talking about (and I really don't dislike Joshua at all but I'll be rooting for Parker), I'm sure their focus is on the 31st.

    Someone will win, that's for sure. Unless it's a draw.

    Parker needs to dominate AJ or Knock him out to get the win. I just dont see it myself.

    If he beats AJ by the margin of victory he had against Andy Ruiz Jr for example, then he drops a UD loss.

    AJ is getting 1 card filled out in advance in his favour. Lets be realistic here

    The media is constantly attempting to distract AJ and it worries me that he’s letting them. Granted, there’s been plenty of fighters who have had future plans prior to a fight and it didn’t affect them in the slightest, but I do worry that AJ is looking past Parker.
