Get round by round results and full fight coverage here for this heavyweight championship unification bout between Anthony Joshua and Joseph Parker.
British boxing sensation Anthony Joshua (20-0, 20 KOs) makes his return to the ring in a major unification bout against New Zealand’s Joseph Parker (24-0, 18 KOs) at the Principality Stadium in Wales. More than 78,000 fans are expected to be in attendance, an overwhelming majority of them cheering on Joshua, who is the WBA and IBF heavyweight champion. Parker is the WBO titleholder, so the winner will have three of the four major belts, with Deontay Wilder possessing the WBC strap.
Joshua is the expected heavy favorite, but Parker is no slouch, and it’s not often you see two top-level heavyweights in their 20s competing in a title fight. This should be compelling viewing and an entertaining battle.
