Joseph Parker's team have put Anthony Joshua on notice that they will do the final pre‑fight press conference on their time, not his.
Joshua is notorious for being fashionably late and Team Parker say they won't be left waiting when the two fighters attend the London media event tonight.
The Kiwis plan to start on time whether Joshua is at the location at the Sky TV headquarters or not. They will do their duties with the large international media attending the event and then make their way to Cardiff where the fight is being held on Sunday.
When the two teams were first brought together in London in January to announce the fight, Joshua turned up 40 minutes late.
Parker and his handlers were left waiting in a side room.
This time they are determined to dictate their own terms as they continue to dominate the fight buildup since arriving in the British capital just over a week ago.
WBA and IBF champion Joshua takes on WBO champion Parker in a world heavyweight unification fight in Cardiff on Sunday. The fight program starts at 5am.
