Joshua had a 15 cemtimetre reach advantage over Parker in yesterday's heavyweight champion unification bout.

Britain's Joshua is now eyeing Wilder's WBC belt having added Joshua Parker's WBO title to his WBA and IBF crowns with a points victory over the New Zealander in Cardiff on Saturday.

Joshua added Parker's WBO strap to his WBA and IBF titles, and moved within one belt of becoming the first undisputed champion since Lennox Lewis in 2000.

The younger man appeared to be struggling with the weight of Joshua's assaults by round four, but little was getting through flush and Parker enjoyed his best spell during the middle rounds. I've got it now, come and fight me'.

"We are really glad that Anthony Joshua said for the first time, 'I will fight Deontay next.' and we believe he is a man of his word". "We are still hustling".

"If this was any other sport, the two leading players would be competing to find out the world number one, and we have a huge opportunity to do this in boxing's great, historic division, and there's nothing in the way off it happening".

Hearn, chairman and founder of Joshua's promoters Matchroom, told BBC Radio Five Live's Sportsweek programme: 'I think negotiations will start next week.

"My strategy in there was to stick behind the jab", said Joshua. He barely landed a clean shot with his big right hand but he didn't need to, despite the clamor from the crowd - and his mother watching from home.

Parker is keeping Joshua alert with movement and snappy punches.

Only boxing politics, purse splits and ego can get in the way.

Parker was reluctant to talk to the Kiwi media on his way to the bus but did say he was grateful for the support he has received from New Zealand and Samoa.

"So I don't think we'll see any more LeBron Jameses, any more Cristiano Ronaldos and it will be hard to find any more Mike Tysons".

Now the pressure will build for a unification bout with the United States' Wilder, the World Boxing Council heavyweight champion.

Joshua knocked out Whyte in December 2015 to stamp his authority on a bitter feud that originated during their amateur days, when Whyte won their first meeting.

"I'm dying to sit down and watch the fight".

I even made sure I spoke to Parker's mum before she left. So this does become a boxing match, not a fight.
