  1. Will the goat be right?published at 23:31 British Summer Time 31 March 2018

    Remember Shenkin, the goat from the Royal Welsh regiment that we talked about earlier on who predicted the outcome of this fight.

    Well Shenkin said Joshua, round 11. Is the goat going to be the G.O.A.T (greatest of all time) at predicting? We have three minutes to see if Shenkin is right.

    Despite a distinct lack of thunder and lightning compared to your usual AJ knock-out masterclass, not a single fan in the Principality Stadium is anything other than engaged by this contest.

    Everytime AJ lands there is a roar, everytime Parker lands there is a collective wince.

    Round 10

    An uppercut and a left hook from Joshua. Both just off target. Much to Parker's relief.

    Round 10

    Parker has never been stopped, never lost and never been floored and the fact he didn't collapse after that left from Joshua shows us why. The New Zealander certainly has a chin on him. Will that frustrate Joshua into making a costly mistake?

    Round 10

    Parker cut over the left eye. He then gets walloped with a beautiful left from Joshua.

    Joshua's performance is assured rather than exciting. He seems to be pacing himself with the full distance in mind.

    Round 9

    A good combination for Parker. This is definitely not done and dusted but Joshua has probably banked a lot of the earlier rounds so Parker still needs to go into attacking mode.

    Matt Baird: No idea what the referee is doing, but he's certainly stopping this from becoming a proper fight.

    Round 9

    Anthony Joshua is unhappy about the heads coming together. It was as Parker dived in with a wild left and a wild right. Neither really landed. The head did. But no cuts from either man afterwards.

    Joshua controlling the round with the use of the left hand, such an important factor he has neglected in recent rounds and it set up a telling attack.

    He is in control of the contest and the best champions don't lose this kind of advantage.

    Round 9

    We have seen great Anthony Joshua uppercuts before. That started the downfall of Wladimir Klitschko last April at Wembley. Joshua tries a similar punch but it does not get the same result.

    Referee Giuseppe Quartarone does not seem keen to let the boxers fight on the inside and is getting quite involved.... the crowd aren't loving that.

    Moon Quddus: I don't understand what the ref thinks he's doing? Does he think boxing is a non-contact sport? Let them fight, ref!

    Teldar Paper: Referee is the star of the show...or really wants to be.

    Round nine. Four rounds left.

    Round 8

    A good spell this from Joseph Parker. Anthony Joshua has slowed down from his earlier good rounds.

    But just then, just as I am writing that Joshua dives in and lands a powerful left jab and then a right hook. The referee is being a bit fussy and not letting them get too close and fight but nevertheless that is a good moment for Joshua.

    Joshua again the most consistent and at some stage now Parker's corner will have to urge him to do more.

    Too much of his work is landing short of the target. Joshua must therefore be ready for an increase in his rival's work rate.

    Round 7
