It’s another sell-out in Cardiff for this clash with Kiwi-star Parker, who comes into the fight with an unbeaten 24-0 record.
After fighting at the O2 Arena for many of his early bouts, Joshua’s popularity has seen him outgrown 20,000 seat venues.
Will the Principality Stadium roof be open or closed for Joshua vs Parker?
THIS is all depends on the weather forecast – but expect it to be shut just in case.
Currently there are predictions of some rain around on Saturday and it’s unlikely that the venue will take the risk.
The Principality Stadium roof takes just 20 minutes to close and is one of the most sophisticated of its kind.
A decision about whether it will be shut will most likely be made 24 hours before the fight.
Joshua vs Parker: Tips and odds ahead of unification bout
ANTHONY JOSHUA has vowed to take his time and pick his shots, while Joseph Parker will be relying to land a big hit, writes Wally Downes Jr.
If AJ adopts his calculated approach, Parker will be on the back foot – but regardless of his tactics we back Joshua to win by stoppage.
And he could select his shots and KO the Kiwi in the later rounds.
But if Parker turns this bout into a scrap, which he needs to do, AJ could land his heavy right hand earlier on.
