Joseph Parker (24-0, 18 KOs) is "on track" for his heavyweight unification fight with Anthony Joshua (20-0, 20 KOs) in Cardiff next month. Parker will put his WBO strap on the line at the Principality Stadium, while Joshua's IBF, IBO and WBA belts will also be d****d around the victor on March 31.

Parker needs to be in absolute top shape for this fight, and I think he will need to mostly box on the outside, darting in on the inside to work the body and catch AJ if he makes any mistakes.

AJ will feel the more confident, relaxed knowing he has a sizable weight and height/reach advantage.

This could turn into a 12 round bore... or we could have a spectacular knockout.

Jesus we hear every single day from Parker's camp - when is he actually finding the time to train?

I was just coming to say I haven't really heard anyone mention Joshua's reach advantage...

Parker's footwork and lateral movement is going to have to be perfect, and Joshua is also surely planning to go the body a lot during the fight.

I see a mid / late rounds vicious KO for Joshua here, he'll methodically cut off the ring and work Parkers body and then start headhunting I feel. Similar tactics McCracken employed with Froch.

Parker needs to improve stamina, otherwise he won't last 12 rounds with AJ.

He's another half hybrid. Part Samoan, part bell-end.

Charles Martin is a fake, he's not on Parker's level
