The British sensation Joshua, who has knocked out all 20 његових професионалних противника, burst onto the global scene with a dramatic knockout of long-reigning heavyweight kingpin Wladimir Klitschko in the universally acclaimed 2017 Борба године.

Parker is attempting the third world title defense of his WBO belt.
With the addition of Joshua vs. Паркер, all four heavyweight world championship belts will be at stake in the same month on SHOWTIME as undefeated American Deontay Wilder (39-0, 38 КОс) will defend his WBC title against unbeaten Luis Ortiz (28-0, 24 КОс) о Субота, Март 3 из Барцлаис центра у Бруклину. The four top-rated heavyweights — Wilder, Ортиз, Joshua and Parker — boast a combined record of 111 победи, zero losses and 100 нокаута.
Both heavyweight championships are cornerstones of a remarkable 2018 SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING schedule that now includes 16 undefeated fighters and 13 world titles fights across 11 marquee events through the first six months of the year.
