Anthony Joshua is hoping that Joseph Parker is taking his training seriously so that their heavyweight unification fight is not over in the early rounds.

In January, after months of negotiations between the representatives of both camps, the hotly anticipated fight between the two champions was confirmed for April 1st at the Principality Stadium.

Joshua will put his IBF, IBO and WBA belts on the line, while Parker's WBO strap will also go to the victor.

Parker's last three fights have gone the distance and Joshua hopes his opponent will be prepared to do the same in Cardiff so the fans get value for money.
