ANTHONY JOSHUA was randomly visited by drug testers ahead of his heavyweight showdown with Joshua Parker.
The Brit champ is ready to add Parker’s WBO crown to his WBA, IBF and IBO collection in Cardiff on Saturday.
The 28-year-old, returning to the 80,000-seat Principality Stadium where he defeated Carlos Takam, continues his prep looking to make it 25 wins, no defeats.
Joshua looks in incredible shape following months of meticulous training sessions and it was time for the drug test enforcers to do their part ahead of the fight.
The Watford-born fighter was visited on Wednesday two months after Parker’s baseless “king of steroids” slur.
Parker casually threw out the controversial jab in a bid to speed up the big-fight negotiations and he retracted it and apologised swiftly after.
Childhood friend David Ghansa, who plays a pivotal role in Joshua’s training camp, revealed an image on Twitter of the testers chatting to Joshua.
With the countdown to the fight just three days away, Joshua looked extra relaxed in Wales.
And the prep continued later in the day when they received a huge delivery of Under Armour gear – Joshua’s sponsor.
He heads into the unification bout as heavy favourite and he had the look of a man who means business when he stared down his Kiwi opponent on Monday.

AJ has felt insulted by Parker and his team throughout the build-up and plans to punch him for even thinking about landing the first blow on Saturday.
He said: “I’ll punish him when he’s throwing at me and when he’s thinking of throwing at me.”
