Very tough fight, Parker will be well up for it and could shock the world.
Anthony Joshua SHOULD, pump the jab, move lightly, drop the 1-2, tie up on the inside, break early to punch on the break (kind of illegal, but only if the ref calls it), and end combinations off the hook to put himself in a solid defensive position. Do those things and he wins easy.
Parker has to find a way inside, watch for the jab to come back low and fire a right over the top of it will be his best bet and that being the case left hooks to the body to try and drop that lead arm could be useful. He's going to have to be strong on the inside, keeps his hands free, and be accurate with his punches.
I'd love for this to be a close fight so that way there's action after AJ-Wilder hopefully happens. The heavyweight division could really have some fan friendly style matchups coming up.
