Heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua will get into the ring with Joseph Parker in a unification bout in March...
The fight will take place in Cardiff on 31 March. Parker holds the WBO belt and Joshua holds the IBF and WBA belts.
The deal was concluded on Sunday after month of negotiations said Joshua's promoters Matchroom Boxing.
"It is a unification championship fight. We all know what happened last time I was in a unification heavyweight championship fight - it was gruelling, it was interesting and we both left the ring with masses of respect," said Joshua.
"Anthony Joshua is in for a huge shock. A couple of months ago I heard him say: 'Why should I be worried about this little kid from New Zealand?'
"Well, now he's about to find out. And the world is about to find out whether AJ can really take a punch. My entire existence is now devoted to proving what the boxing world really knows," said Parker.
Let's wait and see if Parker will live up to the hype or just be a another weak opponent.
