Anthony Joshua is underrated when it comes to these two things – Eddie Hearn

That is the verdict of his promoter Eddie Hearn.

Joshua consolidated his position at the top of the heavyweight division in 2017 by claiming the WBA title with an astonishing win over Wladimir Klitschko and retaining his IBF belt against Carlos Takam.

But this year promises to be a big one for Joshua as he seeks to unify the world titles.

Bouts against Tyson Fury, Joseph Parker and Deontay Wilder have all been touted.

Parker could be next on the cards with a fight likely to happen at the end of March or beginning of April.

And Hearn thinks Joshua could have too much for Parker.

“It’s a very dangerous fight for both fighters,” Hearn said. 

“They have great styles for each other. 

“Joseph [Parker] and his team will fancy this fight because he will know that AJ likes to stand and trade and get hit. 

“Also AJ and his team know that if someone is willing to take chances, then they are going to get hit and AJ is technically a lot better than some tend to think. 

“Both fighters can punch and they may get hurt. 

“But I just feel AJ’s punching power and speed is underrated and I’m not sure whether Parker has the artillery to do enough damage if there is a gunfight. 

“If they are standing in a gunfight and they are trading up, then I have to pick my man all day long.”
