What have the fighters been saying?
Joseph Parker:
“He’s rattled. Where he got that word from, where he got that idea from, I just don’t know. It was nothing about demonising him. We just stated the truth about him. He’s been knocked down a ton of times in sparring.
“My team came up with the strategy of trying to lock in the deal after he had said that he wants to win all the belts. That was it.”
Anthony Joshua (on his win over Carlos Takam last year):
"It's the first time I've been head-butted, in or out of the ring – for all those who've been head-butted I respect you, because I know what it's like now – and it's not nice.
"[But] it was a calculated performance due to the anticipation of what's happening in 2018."
Eddie Hearn and David Price on the undercard:
Promoter Hearn said in Cardiff on Thursday: "What a heavyweight fight we have between David Price and Povetkin. A chance for Price to come out of the shadows."
Price added: "I carry the power, but I have also got an undulating skill set. I am going in there to give everything I have got.
"I am desperate to win. Losing is not an option. I need to embrace the occasion."
