Anthony Joshua defeated Joseph Parker to win WBA title back in March 2018 in what was the first time he was taken to full 12 rounds. Joshua will be looking to make another step towards undisputed heavyweight kingship by beating Alexander Povetkin who is by no means a walkover.

New Zealander Joseph Parker took Joshua all the way to 12 rounds and lost on points. Povetkin in theory poses bigger threat than Parker and it will be interesting to see how Joshua go about this fight.
