    According to ESPN and Bob Arum. The potential date will be march 31st in Principality Stadium, fingers crossed it happens it's a really great fight.

    I hope it ends in a Parker win or a draw. I'm quietly a big fan of AJ as well.

    I totally recommend it if it does happen. Top of the table clash so to speak. Best of the best. Good styles match up. You should definitely watch it.

    How long until Higgins/Parker say it's a million miles away.

    what can Parker do to win this? do you really think he has much of a chance? As far as a style matchup goes what makes this interesting other than they are both undefeated?

    Sneaky suspicion Parker will beat OJ.

    Don't bring up past fights they're irrelevant

    I think Parker can win by both points or a knockout. Do I think Parker has a chance? Anthony Joshua himself in his interviews has insinuated that Parker is a dangerous opponent. I definitely think Parker has a chance but it doesn't matter what I think come fight night. This will be both fighters toughest opponents and both will know that they're a chance of losing if they're not at their best and thats the reality for them. You might think Parker has no chance but Joshua wont be dense enough to think that, trust me.

    When it comes to styles, did you find the Hughie/Parker fight interesting? I think we'll see far more action with AJ and Joe because of each other styles. Joshua likes to counter, Parker likes to throw combos, Joshua can punch, Parker can take a punch, both have good speed for heavyweights etc etc...my point is we want be watching no running. There will be some big exchanges and out will come some boxing along with some top heavyweight power.

    Like my first post on this thread, I think its going to be a good fight and despite what you sound like in your post above, I think you would watch it and thats the bottom line isn't it :)

    If this is true the Wilder fans will experience more pain and thus more denial towards the reality of this situation.

    It will be created in the form of frustration.

    Wilder's 50/50 demands look even more ridiculous now. He'll be lucky to get 25% if Joshua beats Parker.
