Anthony Joshua and Joseph Parker will go head-to-head in one of the biggest heavyweight match-ups in recent memory when they collide on March 31. Joshua will put his WBA, IBF and IBO world titles on the line when he takes on Parker at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, as he looks to add the Kiwi's WBO strap to his growing collection.
I told him, 'If you let me get through this round, I'm going to knock you out!' When the bell sounded, I just gave him a look and a grin.
Dazed and disorientated, but also determined, Joshua regrouped. In the seventh his head cleared. In the eighth, he could see Klitschko's shots coming.
So I jumped in and for the second knockdown he went like a building. I thought it was definitely the end.
I couldn't believe it when he got up again! But I knew I had him and I let my hands go until the referee stopped the fight.
Then I just smiled at Klitschko.
"...But the difference was, I would leave the ring as the champion."
