Anthony Joshua
Anthony Joshua’s world heavyweight unification fight against Joseph Parker of New Zealand is poised to be confirmed.
The Briton, 28, holds the IBF and WBA belts, while Parker, due in London this weekend, is the WBO champion.
Reports suggest the fight will take place on March 31, at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.
Joshua then plans to challenge WBC holder Deontay Wilder – no fighter has held all four belts simultaneously.
Parker’s representative David Higgins has been in the UK since Monday to conclude negotiations and a news conference is expected next week.
Contracts are expected be signed and a statement will then be released by the fighters’ respective promoters, Matchroom Boxing and Duco Events.
During lengthy talks towards the end of last year, the main stumbling block had been the splitting of proceeds – but agreement was reached and 25-year-old Parker will earn between 30-35 per cent.
Joshua defended his two titles against Carlos Takam on 29 October at the Principality Stadium.
