New Zealander Joseph Parker says he knows how to bring out the weaknesses of British-Nigerian boxer Anthony Joshua in the ring.

Parker, who holds the WBO title, says he will use his knowledge of Joshua’s shortcomings to defeat him.

The boxer recently extended his unbeaten record to 24 fights, with 18 wins by KO by beating Hughie Fury, cousin of Tyson Fury.

“I feel I have better movement,” Parker said.

“He’s got good power and is a good champion, but if I fight him, I can bring out the weaknesses.”

His promoter, David Higgins, said Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn had already made contact about a fight next year.

“He wants to unify and so do we,” said Higgins.

If the fight holds, Joshua will be looking at a unification bout with Parker but that will be after his WBA and IBF title fight against Bulgarian Kubrat Pulev in October.
