The British sensation Joshua, who has knocked out all 20 на неговата професионална противници, burst onto the global scene with a dramatic knockout of long-reigning heavyweight kingpin Wladimir Klitschko in the universally acclaimed 2017 Борба на годината. In two fights last year, Joshua drew 168,000 spectators combined to massive stadium events in the U.K. Сега, he faces another significant challenge in Parker, a native of New Zealand with 24 победи, no losses and 18 капачките. 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 КО) will defend his WBC title against unbeaten Luis Ortiz (28-0, 24 КО) на Сабота, Март 3 од Баркли центар во Бруклин. The four top-rated heavyweights — Wilder, Ортиз, Joshua and Parker — boast a combined record of 111 победи, zero losses and 100 капачките.
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.
“The heavyweight division is in the midst of a renaissance, and SHOWTIME is delivering all of the pivotal bouts to our subscribers,", Изјави Стивен Espinoza, Претседател, Sports and Event Programing, Showtime Мрежи Inc. “Anthony Joshua is a global superstar, and we’re proud to present his sixth, and perhaps most challenging, world title fight to the U.S. публика. Џошуа vs. Parker will be the 12та heavyweight world championship match on SHOWTIME since Deontay Wilder won his title in 2015, an undisputed industry-leading offering in boxing’s preeminent division.”
