How Anthony Joshua Beat Joseph Parker In 12 Rounds


British-Nigerian boxer, Anthony Joshua has beaten New Zealand boxer, Joseph Parker to claim his WBO title.

Joshua cruised to a unanimous decision victory in the fight after putting up what appeared a poor performance.


Joshua, the WBA and IBF champion, went the distance for the first time in his career but failed to impress in a boring 12-round effort against WBO champion, Parker.

The fight was held in front of nearly 80,000 fans at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.

Despite what seemed a relatively close and uneventful bout, Joshua (21-0, 20KOs) received the benefit of wide score cards(119-109,118-110 twice).

CBS Sports had it as 116-112 for Joshua, who unified three of the four recognized heavyweight titles.


The 28-year-old Joshua landed the harder shots against the quicker Parker (24-1, 18 KOs), who was contented to box from distance.

He also rarely took any chances despite out landing parker 139 to 101.
