Anthony Joshua is refusing to look beyond his world heavyweight title unification fight with Joseph Parker on Saturday.
The WBO, WBA, IBO and IBF titles are on the line at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff as both fighters protect an unbeaten record.
There has been talk of a future fight with Deontay Wilder, but Joshua is only focused on business in Cardiff.
“It’s one fight at a time, a lot of talk has been happening about AJ-Deontay,” Joshua said at the pair’s final press conference in London.
“People need to be realistic. For now my future stops on Saturday and that is where I have got to look to.
“I feel like every fight is a blessing, whether it is Joseph Parker sitting here or X, I feel every fight has a reason in the long run.
“It’s Parker and it’s a blessing. He’s a champion, he has done well for himself. I am looking forward to Saturday and it will all be over on Sunday and I will learn from it.”

Joshua is ready for a marathon on Saturday, putting in the hard yards in training, but is convinced he will send his opponent to the canvas.
"Parker has two arms, to be simple, but he is quick and can take a punch, that's what I've heard," Joshua said,
"Your weight depends on who you fight, if they're taller or short and stocky. I don't know what my weight will be but I feel great.
"One fight at a time, all this talk about Wilder. I'm looking at Parker, he's a champion for a reason. If I'm victorious, I can look at future plans.
"I don't want to lose. I'm preparing for a 12-round fight, which isn’t a problem to go the distance. I believe I will knock Parker out for sure."
