April 1, 2018

The British fighter claimed Parker's WBO title in Cardiff this morning.

Newly crowned WBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua took time to praise his vanquished opponent - Kiwi Joseph Parker - after his unanimous victory in Cardiff this morning.

After 12 rounds, the pair couldn't be separated, with the judges siding in Joshua's favour to hand him Parker's heavyweight title.

Speaking in his post fight press conference, Joshua was nothing but complimentary for the defeated Kiwi.

"History was made, Joseph played a massive part in this," Joshua began.

"I'm honoured to share the ring with him.

"Joseph won't give up now. He's still young, competitive. I think we'll definitely see Joseph Parker again."
