Anthony Joshua in action with Joseph Parker.

Anthony Joshua beat New Zealand's Joseph Parker by unanimous points decision on Saturday in a world heavyweight title unification bout that left the golden boy of British boxing one belt away from becoming undisputed champion.

Both fighters had stepped into the ring undefeated at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, Joshua the holder of three belts -- WBA super, IBF and IBO -- while Parker had put his WBO title on the line.

Joshua had won his previous 20 fights by knockout.
