Joseph Parker's camp have questioned the impact of Anthony Joshua's weight loss as the battle of the scales preludes the world heavyweight title fight.

Both boxers have been shedding kilograms in a bid to be at optimum fitness and performance levels for their April 1st showdown in Cardiff where Parker's WBO title goes on the line alongside Joshua's IBF and WBA belts.

Neither camp have said what their weights were when they started their training camps, but have targeted significant differences from their last fighting weights.

Parker was 112kg when he laboured to victory over Hughie Fury and wants to come in around 107‑108kg this time.

Meanwhile, Joshua was at a career‑high 115kg against Carlos Takam and is eyeing 112kg.
