Anthony Joshua insists he feels no pressure to maintain his knockout run against Joseph Parker on Saturday.

The Briton has stopped all 20 opponents since turning professional, including former long-reigning world champion Wladimir Klitscho almost a year ago.

Joshua, 28, knows there is expectation of him deliver knockouts and bout against WBO titleholder Parker is no different.

"[Floyd] Mayweather, as great as he is, goes 12 rounds the majority of the time, and everyone claps and says how great the performance was, but because I didn't knock my opponent out in two rounds it's a bad performance," Joshua said

"So you can't always be trying to please people, because you are never going to win. Everyone's got opinions. My job was to control Takam, move him around the ring where I wanted him, and secure the win so I could move forward to 2018, and I think that was a mature performance.

Saturday's world title unification fight, which is being shown live in over 200 countries, sees two unbeaten champions face each other but it is the Joshua who is regarded as the world's leading heavyweight.
