Cardiff (United Kingdom), Apr 01 (ANI): Boxer Anthony Joshua moved a step closer to becoming undisputed heavyweight champion of the world on Saturday after beating New Zealander Joseph Parker on a unanimous points decision in their title unification bout. The 2012 Olympic champion, taken to 12 rounds for the first time in his professional career after 20 previous knockouts, added Parker's WBO belt to his own WBA Super, IBF and IBO titles. "In some ways you can say so, yeah, but at the same time it's boxing, it's a 12-round fight, if I like, saw boxing as knocking people out all the time I think my coach would never push me to do like 15, 16, 17 rounds when I'm training so I do understand it's a 12-round fight. (Wladimir) Klitschko, 11 rounds, (Carlos) Takam was 10 so, I've always been in the realms of going 12 rounds if we need to and today was the first time and we covered it well so on to the next, no,” said Joshua. "It's difficult when someone comes in and is backing off a lot of the time and so on and so forth, but so be it, history was made, Joseph (Parker) played a massive part in this, his whole camp did, and I'm honored to have shared the ring with him, and what's interesting is Joseph won't give up now, do you know what I mean, he's still young, competitive, and I've a feeling we'll definitely see Joseph Parker again but, as you said, I think just on this evening I was more focused, more disciplined, and I carried out the tactics and I was the better man it seemed,” added Anthony Joshua.
