It's the big one next - Joshua vs Parker.
'OOOOOHHHHH ANTHONY JOHSUAAAAA" is ringing out as Seven Nation Army is played over the PA system.
Eye of the Tiger is being belted out around the stadium. We're minutes away from the ring walk!
You won't want to miss this one!
Forget the fight, Michael Buffer dancing along to Sweet Caroline like your drunk dad at a wedding is the going to take some topping tonight.
The Kiwi makes a very slow entrance to the ring, flanked by his two trusty tribal friends, one waving a New Zealand flag and the other Samoa's.
He's loudly booed, of course.
It's a typically dramatic entrance from AJ. He emerges in a cloud of white smoke. He walks past a burning 'A' and 'J'. The noise is deafening.
Time for the Samoan national anthem, then the New Zealand one. Then the British.
Undefeated vs Undefeated...
Title vs Title...
Joshua vs Parker...
