Joseph Parker trying to 'demonise' me- Joshua

By Daily Sports on December 9, 2017

Anthony Joshua says he has "no respect" for Joseph Parker's attempts to "demonise" his reputation in order to secure a heavyweight unification bout.

During a news conference last month, WBO world champion Parker offered money for footage of the Briton being knocked down during sparring.

Joshua said the 25-year-old was "trying to mislead the public's opinion".

"I think it's not nice, I don't really respect it and I have no time for it," said the IBF and WBA champion, 28.

"What's he trying? Be the big bully? Demonise everything I have done?"

Speaking to BBC Sport he added: "In Formula 1, golf, tennis, rugby, they are very classy people, respectable about their peers.

"Then you have people like Joseph Parker holding a press conference talking about everything he thinks I am."

Joseph Parker offers 'gifts' for footage of Anthony Joshua being knocked to the floor

Parker's news conference, which featured a video showcasing Joshua being knocked down as both a professional and amateur, was a response to what the New Zealander's team perceived to be a poor financial offer for a potential fight.

Promoter David Higgins said his fighter would not take anything less than a 35% split of revenue if the bout is to be made.

Should the fight happen, the winner could then face WBC title holder Deontay Wilder in a bout which could unify all four major titles in the heavyweight division. (BBC)
