Thursday 7 November 2019 12:24, UK
Paul Gascoigne has been impressed by Anthony Joshua’s “incredible confidence” ahead of his heavyweight world title unification clash with Joseph Parker.
Joshua faces Parker for the WBA 'super', WBO and IBF belts in Cardiff on Saturday, live on Sky Sports Box Office.
Gascoigne sent Joshua a message wishing him good luck ahead of the fight and the former England international says he sees similarities between himself as a player and the heavyweight champion.
"When you play in front of a 90,000 crowd, the only way I could take the pressure of myself was to joke and laugh with the guys," said Gascoigne.
"When I see him coming to the ring you're actually smiling and laughing. It's like it's nothing to him and everybody else is all tensed up. He's probably the most relaxed guy in the arena."
