5 reasons why Anthony Joshua will defeat Joseph Parker

#3 Opponent track record

Joshua and Wladimir after their fight.

Both Parker and Joshua have faced an almost equal level of opponents, but there is one man in Joshua's opponents list which makes his resume quite handsome. Joshua managed to defeat Wladimir Klitschko in his 19th fight which was fought in April 2017.

Klitschko was the best heavyweight boxer for more than a decade who reigned supreme in the boxing world. After defeating Klitschko, Joshua became the hottest heavyweight. At present, every heavyweight professional boxer wants a shot at Joshua because he is the biggest name in the professional boxing circuit.

Carlos Takam is one common boxer who has fought both Parker and Joshua. Joshua's win against Takam was more convincing compared to Parker's win as Takam was TKO'd by Joshua.

The win against Klitschko and the way Joshua has defeated his opponents will give him a lot of confidence. Parker, on the other hand, was not impressive in his last fight against Hughie Fury, which will add to his confidence deficit.
