JOSEPH PARKER - TALE OF THE TAPE
JOSEPH PARKER VS ALEXANDER DIMITRENKO
Heavyweight boxing champion Joseph Parker heads into what could be his hardest fight yet. Parker who is used to being the talller fighter against his opponents gives away reach, height and weight to Dimitrenko in his fight tonight.
He puts his WBO Oriental Belt on the line and also risks losing his mandatory position for the coveted IBF belt held by Anthony Joshua and damaging his No 1 ranking in the WBO IF he loses.
Joseph said he wasn't focused on this pressure at all and feels relaxed going into the ring.
"I feel quite relaxed and the reason I say I'm always relaxed is because I train hard. If you train hard and feel good, you are going to perform good. This is the time to enjoy. When you are in the ring it's time to enjoy yourself but also do the job."
