Anthony Joshua admits he can't afford to lose to Joseph Parker in their world unification fight, live on Sky Sports Box Office

Anthony Joshua has admitted he "cannot afford to lose" when he fights Joseph Parker in March, live and exclusive on Sky Sports Box Office.

It was announced on Sunday that Joshua and Parker would put their titles on the line at the Principality Stadium, Cardiff, on March 31 in a world heavyweight title unification bout.

Joshua, who currently holds the WBA and IBF belts, said: "For me personally, I can't afford to lose and he says he's not giving his belt up, so when we come head to head it's going to be an unbelievable fight."

Parker, who holds the WBO belt, also recognised the pedigree of the bout, saying: "It's important for both of us. It's going to be a great challenge, there's belts on the line, so it's going to be a hell of a fight."

As well as their belts, the two fighters will be putting their unbeaten records on the line when they step into the ring in just over two months' time.
