Anthony
Joshua should use his natural reach and power rather than go chasing a knockout
against Joseph Parker, warns Frank Bruno. The
much-loved British boxing legend is wary of Parker's threat and thinks Joshua
would be better served trying to out-box his opponent.
With just
under a fortnight until their fight at Cardiff's Principality Stadium,
anticipation is building before reaching a crescendo in the Welsh capital on
March 31.
"Anthony
Joshua has got the size, the power, and the skill - and Parker is a guy who
comes to him all the time," Bruno told Sky Sports.
"If Joshua
moves around and uses his reach and his power, he should make it, not an easy
fight, but make it easier for himself.
"Joshua has
a lot of skill, a lot of size, a lot of power. If he just relaxes and uses
Parker to come in, it is as simple as that."
"If he is
going to get macho and start wanting to tear up with him, then Parker is a very
dangerous guy, very fit, and he is on you all the time," Bruno added.
A gigantic
unification fight with Deontay Wilder beckons for Joshua if he remains unbeaten
and Bruno thinks the dedicated former Olympian deserves everything coming his
way.
"His feet
are on the ground and he deserves everything he gets. I think just take one
step at a time because Parker is not a mug. He is a very tough guy and he comes
to fight."
AJ already
possesses the WBA, IBO and IBF titles and would add the WBO belt to his
collection by beating Parker.
