Thurman would have taken two years off if that happened to him.

Dammit haha I was hanging to comment the same thing well played sir!

Maybe it gave him super punch throwing strength like the kid off Rookie of the Year.

Excuses my ass!!!

This is Parker serving notice that he has got his early speed and power back and that the giant glass jawed robot is gonna see it and feel it and end up on the canvas because of it!!!

Y'all fanboys and AJ have no idea what's coming at ya...

A fully fit, lean mean knock out machine!!!

CHEEEHOOOO....

Actually I watched an interview with Razvan Cojanu after he fought Parker for the WBO title. It was right after the fight and Raz was still a little amped and he was mouthing off saying that Parker is a protected fighter and even in sparring Barry was asking him not to hit Parker's elbows. There is deffo something in this, the dude has been having elbow issues for a while.

Lol don't know why people say it's an excuse, it's not he's had these injuries since the Kali Mehan fight.

It's actually team Parker saying if Parker loses he lost simply because AJ beat him, what would be worse is if they came out with it after the fight.

AJ going to be in for a world of pain now, he also snubbed the NZ and Samoan media which is pretty **** since team Parker have accomadated the UK media when ever they came calling. Anthony fake ads humble joshua

Is that true about him snubbing the Samoan and nz media? There wouldn’t have been muc of a Samoan media pack, by nz media would be all over this fight

Lol it’s sparring, he was there to help Parker, ofcourse if he has any sort of ailments there gonna ask sparring partners not to target that area, your jobs not to beat him up so he can’t fight lol

Yeah it's true, Kevin Barry and Higgins not to happy about it considering how accomdating the Parker camp was towards all the UK media coming to their camp in Vegas and the english sevens team to.

A bit harsh considering how far they drove for it.

Makes a whole lot of sense, they still use Cojanu for sparring to. Even watching the Hughie fight was wondering why he assent throwing many jabs or straights

Apparently some journalist from New Zealand went to see Joshua workout and he didn't answer her question. I don't know if she asked him specifically and he ignored her or he just didn't see her - but this seems to have been built up to
"Joshua's snubbed the entire county of New Zealand"

To be fair to the woman, she's now probably the most talked about sports journalist in New Zealand for the time being. Plus it builds the fight that little bit more.

He's gone full Wolverine and upgraded.

They've even released a video of the operation
