Anthony Joshua targets unification bout against Wilder, Parker

By Daily Sports on October 30, 2017

After shocking Carlos Takam in a 10 round controversial defeat, Anthony Joshua is targeting to unite all four boxing organisation belts by fighting Deontay Wilder and Joseph Parker.

Presently, Joshua is the IBF and WBA heavyweight champion while Deontay Wilder holds the WBC heavyweight belt and Joseph Parker the WBO heavyweight crown.

Joshua’s victory over Takam at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on Saturday night paved way for his reality to come to reality.

His promoter Eddie Hearn says a meeting with WBC champion Deontay Wilder "has to happen", while coach Rob McCracken hopes a bout against WBO king Joseph Parker presents itself first.

"The possibilities are bubbling nicely in the distance," said Joshua, 28. "I'm not worried about 2018 because of the potential possibilities to come.

"I want the other two belts out there, whether it's Wilder first or Parker."

A smooth-talking Briton versus a flamboyant American, both raw in the ring, both powerful. What is not to like? The sooner it happens the better, says Wilder.

“Or maybe not. Takam - though well beaten and aided when he damaged the champion's nose after a head collision - perhaps showed enough resistance to deploy brakes of caution on the Joshua bandwagon when the dust settles,” he added.

"This was just the type of fight, experience and adversity that ‪Anthony Joshua needed," said Britain's former undisputed heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis.
