The WBO champion is the lighter man by six pounds, but Joshua’s weight loss means the Kiwi will not have as much of a speed advantage as he was hoping for.
Joshua is the lightest he has been since his tenth professional fight, and Parker believes the weight loss proves the Brit is taking him seriously.
‘Us being close in weight makes me think he is taking it seriously,’ Parker told Sky Sports. ‘We are similar, we will both be fast tomorrow and throwing bombs.
I saw he is confident, I’m expecting a really good fight.
‘The first few rounds could go either way, depends who follows their game plan better – I’m ready for anything.
‘I’m here for war, you’ll have to do everything to beat me.’
Parker will be six pounds lighter than Joshua as he aims to execute a game plan to tire his rival out before going for a late stoppage.
