Hatton commentates on Joshua v Klitschko

No-one associated with, or a fan of, British boxing will forget the night Joshua defeated Klitschko and Ricky Hatton served up a treat by commentating on the 11th round of the contest at a Sky Sports quiz on Thursday.

With Carl Froch in plain sight, Hatton delivered his version of events with a great deal of passion and enthusiasm, leaving the crowd watching on in hysterics.

You’ve got to love Ricky Hatton. 

Sky Sports should consider giving him a mic when Joshua takes on Parker in Cardiff next week.

Joshua believes Parker will be tougher than Wilder

Whether Parker presents as much of a threat to Joshua as Klitschko did remains to be seen.

However, AJ believes the New Zealander, who currently holds the WBO title, will be more difficult than a fight against American Deontay Wilder, which has been heavily mooted in recent weeks.

“Parker has a bit more all-round game; left hook, right hand, swings one right to the body, he likes a left hook to the body,” Joshua said this week, per the Independent.

“I haven't seen Wilder throw that many body shots. Wilder relies on the right hand, so I think Parker is a better all rounder.

“There are more stats and facts than he just has a big right hand. 

“Parker has an all-round game, that is what makes it a dangerous fight."
