The signs continue to suggest champion New Zealand boxer Joseph Parker is not daunted by his looming world heavyweight title unification bout with British counterpart Anthony Joshua.

In a TV interview that will be aired in the UK this weekend, WBO titleholder Parker shows plenty of poise in what is a close quarters face‑off with WBA and IBF champion Joshua.

The leaked footage of 'The Gloves Are Off' episode, hosted by British boxing pundit and former British cruiserweight champion Johnny Nelson, has the fighters seated well within arms length of each other.

The half‑hour interview is sure to add to what is already a significant amount of hype around what is the first meeting of two undefeated heavyweight champions since 1987.

Parker is scheduled to arrive in London two weeks before the fight against Anthony Joshua that will be staged in front of a capacity crowd of 80,000 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on 1st April.
