Anthony Joshua reveals who punches harder between Dillian Whyte and Joseph Parker
The duo meet in a blockbuster heavyweight clash on July 28, a fight you can hear live on talkSPORT
Dillian Whyte and Joseph Parker are less than two weeks away from meeting in the ring in what promises to be a titanic heavyweight clash.
Both men carry serious power and will be looking to win in convincing style when they meet on July 28, a fight you can hear live on talkSPORT.
One thing they both have in common is the fact they have both shared a ring with Anthony Joshua.
Joshua stopped Whyte after a slugfest at the 02 back in 2015, while 'AJ' took the WBO strap off New Zealander Parker in their clash back in March.
While the 28-year-old may have recorded wins against both of them, he was in doubt as to who punched harder.
"Yeah it's an interesting question," he admitted.
"Probably Dillian as well, he hurt me in the second round.
"Parker didn’t really land too many shots. I was clever with my feet.
"In the gym, what I done in the gym is what I did in the fight. I worked on my feet, kept him at range, so he didn’t land a shot on me to be honest.”
The two fights were extremely different in style - with Whyte looking to brawl and Parker trying to box.
Regardless, Joshua dealt with both with consummate ease and is now on the brink of becoming undisputed World Heavyweight Champion.
His next fight will be against Russian Alexander Povetkin at Wembley Stadium on September 22, a fight the Olympic Gold medallist will not be taking lightly.

He added: "I can’t wait to get back in the ring, the end of March feels a long time ago now.
“Povetkin is a serious challenge that I will prepare meticulously for. He has serious pedigree and only a fool would underestimate what he brings to the table.
“Training hasn’t stopped for me, but the next 10 weeks ahead will be intense both mentally and physically. I will push myself to breaking point to make sure I am in peak condition for another huge night for British boxing at Wembley Stadium on September 22.”
