Anthony Joshua (20-0, 19 KOs) will defend his IBF, IBO, and WBA (Super) heavyweight titles against Joseph Parker (24-0, 18 KOs) in something of a unification match on Saturday. Parker holds the WBO heavyweight title, and that is also up for grabs. The match will begin at 5 p.m. ET and will be broadcast by Showtime in the United States (live streaming via fuboTV and Showtime directly).

The undercard, which features a heavyweight bout between Alexander Povetkin and David Price as well as a WBA (Super) bantamweight matchup between Ryan Burnett and Yonfrez Parejo, will not be televised in the U.S.
Joshua already believes he has claim to the title of best heavyweight boxer in the world, but there are two titles he doesn’t have: Parker’s, as well as Deontay Wilder’s WBC heavyweight belt. If he beats Parker decisively, which he’s expected to do, then Wilder could be up next. That’s the fight many want to see, but the showdown with Parker is still hotly-anticipated.
Joshua is the heavy favorite in Vegas, by a big margin despite both clearly being among the top three fighters in the division. Joshua has simply faced the tougher competition (and won), even if Parker has more fights under his belt.
In his last outing, Parker took a majority decision win over Hughie Fury, and it was an ugly bout. He barely won, and despite his 18 knockouts, his last three wins were by decision. Two of those wins were majority decision. And he’s faced nobody on the level of Wladimir Klitschko, who Joshua bested with an 11th-round knockout in April 2017.
Below is all you need to know to watch the fisticuffs on Saturday, as well as the full official fight card.
