Joshua to defend title against Parker in March
Anthony Joshua celebrates with his father, Robert

ANTHONY JOSHUA will continue his quest to be crowned the undisputed world heavyweight champion when he faces New Zealander Joseph Parker in Cardiff on March 31.

Joshua, who holds the WBA and IBF versions of the title, will add Parker’s WBO belt if he triumphs at the Millennium Stadium, leaving only WBC champion Deontay Wilder on his title hit-list.

Today’s announcement brings an end to months of fractious negotiations with Parker, who defended his crown with a points win over Hughie Fury in Manchester in September and was holding out for a bigger percentage of the purse.
