We're getting closer to confirming Anthony Joshua's next fight.

AJ's proposed showdown with WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker is almost ready to be signed, sealed and delivered according to Matchroom Boxing's Eddie Hearn.

If confirmed, the fight would be the first of two huge bouts Joshua will be targeting in 2018 in his bid to claim all four world heavyweight belts.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Eddie Hearn said a fight with New Zealand's Joseph Parker is set to be confirmed sooner rather than later:

"We feel like there is a deal that can be in place with Parker and his team within the next week or so. There's a good chance [Parker's promoter] David Higgins will fly over in the next week to try and close the deal.

here are two perfect fights for AJ - Parker and Deontay Wilder. The Wilder fight is unrealistic because of what they want. The Parker fight is a lot closer."

25-year-old heavyweight Joseph Parker remains unbeaten after 24 fights. He most recently defeated Hughie Fury by decision over 12 rounds in Manchester.

It looks like we're set for another huge fight night on UK soil.
