THOUSANDS of boxing fans will descend on Cardiff this week to watch Anthony Joshua face New Zealander Joseph Parker.<\/span>

\nThe two boxers face off on Saturday night in Joshua’s second fight in seven months at the Principality Stadium, but there are plenty of events before that for Cardiffians to get their teeth into.<\/span>
\nFight Week countdown<\/span><\/span>
\nTuesday \u2013 press conference, 12.30pm<\/b>
\nThe two fighters face off in their final press conference before the bout today. Joshua, who has never engaged in pre-fight chat, has been aggravated by the Parker camp\u2019s attempt to get under his skin.<\/span>
\nParker\u2019s promoter David Higgins has talked a big fight punctuated by him saying that he and his fighter will leave this press conference if Joshua is late.\u00a0<\/span>The conference is sure to be intriguing and may well give a clue to who is best prepared for the fight on Saturday.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>Wednesday \u2013 public workouts, 6pm<\/b>
\nThe heavyweights will step in to the ring to show off their skills tomorrow. The open workout will be the public\u2019s first chance to see how the fighters have prepared. <\/span>
\nJoshua has typically not given much away with these sessions, doing a short warm up and then hitting the pads for a few minutes. Parker, however has already posted training videos over social media and is more comfortable showing his hand.<\/span>
\nFighters on the undercard will also visit the ring with their trainers before their press conference the next day. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\nThursday \u2013 undercard press conference, 12pm<\/b>
\nThe press will have a chance to scrutinise some of Britain’s best fighter on Thursday as the undercard is packed with British talent and strong personalities. <\/span>
\nAll Saturday\u2019s undercard fighters will be there including David Price, Joe Cordina and fan favourite Anthony Crolla. <\/span>
\nFriday \u2013 \u00a0weigh-in 11am, Joshua v Parker expected at 1pm<\/b>
\nFriday will see the two boxers face off for the last time before they fight on Saturday. <\/span>
\nJoshua is two inches taller than Parker and is expected to come in the heavier. However, he has said that he is not bulking before the fight and therefore might be lighter than the 18 stone he was for his last fight against Carlos Takam.<\/span>
\nThe undercard fighters will also hit the scales before their bouts.<\/span>
\nSaturday \u2013 Fight Night, 6pm<\/b>
\nWelshman Morgan Jones opens the event at 6pm.\u00a0<\/span>The main fight will start no later than 10.30pm. <\/span>
\nUndercard<\/b>
\nMorgan Jones v Mose Auimatagi Jnr <\/span>(super middleweight – 6×3 mins)<\/span>
\nJoe Cordina v Andy Townend\u00a0<\/span>(lightweight – 10×3 mins)
\nAnthony Crolla v Edson Ramirez\u00a0<\/span>(lightweight – 10×3 mins)<\/span>
\nJosh Kelly v Carlos Molina <\/span>(welterweight – 10×3 mins)<\/span>
\nRyan Burnett v Yonfrez Parejo <\/span>(WBA world bantamweight – 12 x 3 mins)<\/span>
\nAlexander Povetkin v David Price <\/span>(heavyweight 12 x 3 mins)<\/span>
\nMain event<\/b>
\nAnthony Joshua v Joseph Parker <\/span>
\n(WBA super and IBF & WBO world heavyweight titles – 12 x 3 mins)<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
