'I like Parker in the fight' - Legendary boxing promoter Bob Arum weighs in on Joshua-Parker fight

March 30, 2018

Arum, 86, says he likes Joseph Parker's chances of causing an upset against Anthony Joshua.

Legendary US boxing promoter Bob Arum believes Joseph Parker has a good chance of causing an upset over Anthony Joshua in their mega bout at Principality Stadium in Cardiff.

Arum, 86, believes the super unification bout on Sunday morning (NZ time) is going to be a blockbuster.

"It's clearly a fight that can go either way," said Arum.

"I like my guy's chances. I like Parker in the fight."

But the Top Rank CEO said he won't be shocked if the home favourite Joshua came away with the win.

"If Joshua won I wouldn't be surprised, I mean it is truly two confident big heavyweights going at it, nothing is better.

"I think Joseph Parker with his intelligence, his athleticism, stands a very, very good chance to win all the belts on Saturday night (local time)."

The winner of the unification fight between Parker and Joshua will walk away with the IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight titles.
