One of the year’s biggest boxing bouts takes place on March 31st as Anthony Joshua takes on Joseph Parker in a world heavyweight title unification fight in Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.

Britain’s Joshua currently holds the IBF and WBA belts, having beaten Carlos Takam back in October, and is now looking to add to his existing titles and further boost his reputation as one of the best boxers around today.

However his New Zealander opponent will be no pushover, as the current WBO title holder is undefeated in his 24 professional fights to date, 18 of which have come by knockout.

Joshua will be hoping to add Parker to his list of high-profile vanquished opponents, which already includes the likes of Charles Martin and Wladimir Klitschko.

And with the fight being the first time that two unbeaten heavyweight champions have met since 1987, history could be made in Cardiff.

The fight is set to begin at 10pm, so if you’ve not managed to get tickets for the big fight, and can’t get to a TV, here is TechRadar’s guide to watching all the action online, wherever you are in the world.

How to watch Joshua v Parker in VR

To mark the fight, Sky is also set to release an all-new Virtual Reality (VR) experience starring Anthony Joshua himself.

The launch is set to happen on Tuesday 27th March, so we will be able to bring you all the details then.

However at a VR showcase last month, Sky teased a new launch which included photorealistic 3D holograms of Anthony Joshua in action, allowing viewers to experience like never before what it’s like to come face to face with the world champion.

Joshua and Sky teamed up on VR last year, with a headset experience allowing fans to watch Joshua train ahead of his fight with Eric Molina – so expect something even bigger and better for this bout.
