Joseph Parker says he will respond with a defiant smile if Anthony Joshua’s punches cannot put a dent in his renowned chin during their world title unification clash.

The New Zealander holds a proud reputation of never being floored in his unbeaten career ahead of his heavyweight fight with Joshua at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on March 31, live on Sky Sports Box Office.

WBA ‘super’ and IBF champion Joshua has found a way to stop all 20 of his opponents, but WBO king Parker has suggested he could “crush” the home favourite’s confidence by standing up to his best shots.

“If he hits me in the chin and doesn’t hurt me then obviously I’ll smile and try my best to hit him back,” Parker exclusively told Sky Sports.”
