Despite being the underdog heading into his title unification fight with Britain's Anthony Joshua, Kiwi heavyweight Joseph Parker is a dangerous proposition - says promoter Eddie Hearn.
With next month's fight drawing ever closer, Parker has been instilled as the outsider for the bout, where he will risk his WBO title in an attempt to secure the WBA and IBF belts from Joshua.
However, speaking to 1 NEWS this morning, Joshua's promoter Hearn says that by no means are they taking Parker lightly.
"People who know their boxing know that this is a real fight," he said.
"The odds are crazy."
"I do see him as the favourite, but I see it much, much closer than the bookies make it."
"I give Joseph Parker a big chance in this fight, but I just think Anthony's going to be too good, too strong and too powerful on the night for Joseph Parker."
