LAGOS APRIL 1ST (NEWSRANGERS)-Nigerian-born British boxer Anthony Joshua has added the WBO belt to his collection of titles with a win over Joseph Parker.
For the first time Joshua was forced to go the distance – but was unanimously declared the winner with a wide margin on the judges’ scorecards: 118-110 twice and 119-109.
After his win, Joshua told Sky Sports: “My strategy was to stick behind the jab.
“I was switched on and I was focused, Joseph Parker is a world champion and I said this was about boxing finesse.
“What you can’t forget is that I am the unified heavyweight champion of the world.”
Both fighters had stepped into the ring undefeated at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium and the win extends Joshua’s perfect pro record to 21 victories from as many bouts.
