Anthony Joshua Defeats Joseph Parker On Points And Is WBA, IBO, IBF And Now WBO World Champion

Anthony Joshua wins by unanimous decision!

The official cards of 118-110, 118-110 and 119-109 were wider than the Guardian’s unofficial score of 115-113, but Joshua is the winner. The 28-year-old now holds three of the four heavyweight title belts.

Joshua improves to 21-0 on the night his knockout streak ends at 20. But does he want to fight Deontay Wilder for the lone heavyweight title belt that’s not in his possession?

“Whenever, wherever,” Joshua says. “Wilder, let’s go baby! Let’s go!”

The British champion also discusses his performance against Parker.

“My strategy in there was stick behind the jab, it’s one of the most important weapons,” he says. “The old saying is the right hand will take you around the block, but the jab will take you around the world.”
