ANTHONY JOSHUA says negotiatio­ns are 95 per cent complete for him to fight Joseph Parker in March as he bids to be the undisputed world heavyweigh­t champion.

Joshua (above) is the WBA, IBO and IBF champion, while New Zealander Parker has the WBO title.

He also said he would welcome a fight with former champion Tyson Fury. “He has his own battles and demons to face and once he has got over them he’s more than welcome to enter a ring with me,” said Joshua.

Fury is hoping to fight again this year after accepting a backdated two-year suspension for testing positive for a banned steroid.
