A VIDEO of Joseph Parker knocking out a heavyweight rival has caused a stir among fearful Anthony Joshua fans as their unification fight looms.
“AJ’s going to get wobbled”Boxing fan
In the clip, Parker can be seen fighting Brazilian Irineu Beato Costa Junior in the fourth round of their heavyweight clash in Hamilton, New Zealand.
Dominating the centre of the ring, the Kiwi catches his rival with a sweet left hook before hitting his opponent sweetly on the chin with a vicious right hand.
The punch is too much for the Brazilian, who falls flat on the canvas before the referee brings an end to the contest.
Footage from the 2014 bout has resurfaced this week after it was shared on Reddit under the title "an explosive KO by Joseph Parker".
And with the 26-year-old preparing to take on Joshua tomorrow, fans of the British fighter are clearly worried.
One wrote: “AJ’s going to get wobbled.”
Katie Baylis, Betfair Spokesperson, said: “Anthony Joshua is still the odds-on favourite, but he’s out to 1/5 from 1/7 yesterday.
“We’ve also seen plenty of interest for Parker to win by KO or TKO with those odds now at 7/1, from 9/1 yesterday and a high of 14/1, with punters appearing to grow in confidence that the challenger can give Joshua a run for his money.
"The Brit is 2/5 to win by stoppage.”
