The Anthony Joshua camp says Joseph Parker is the new favourite for a heavyweight showdown on November 26.

Joshua's manager Eddie Hearn has been negotiating a fight for the British IBF title holder and the Kiwi appears to be in pole position.

Parker is fighting Alexander Dimitrenko on October 1 in Auckland, but his DUCO management team say they're ready for the quick turnaround and are keen on fighting Joshua. 

Hearn said, "At the moment I think the favourite to fight Anthony Joshua is Joseph Parker."

"There's a few things that have gotta get done but I think it's a great fight, and why not do it now."

He's got big balls Joseph Parker, and he's ready to fight."
