how is Parker gonna get to it?
Simply boxing strategies will readily present the AJ's jaw on a plate.. But, I have never seen an attempt to employ these 'skills' into JP's game nor evidence of them in a fight. Incredible really that Joe has gone so far without any great skill set.
So, I'm with you die, I can't see Joe getting through AJ's jab and landing 'the bomb;.

Simple boxing strategies won't get to AJ's "glass" jaw. He's either going to have to get into a firefight with AJ, get inside his jab and counter, or do "surprise" attacks while AJ is coming forward and not throwing yet. I suggest the third option. Unfortunately, having seen Joe's previous fights, I think he'll be on the end of AJ's jab and try unsuccessfully to counter while backing up.
I see AJ's "robotic" style as a plus for him. Tight defense, tends to throw straight punches, moves forward ok. One caveat: Klit knocked AJ down by throwing a jab, partially blinding AJ, and then the right. Oldest trick in boxing.
Klit did well boxing at mid-long range but joe has a little better handspeed than klit but loses a lot of reach compared to him. I think JP's best asset is handspeed s i think closing distance quick, let a quick combination go then grab on and wait for the ref to seperate them.
Its that midde ground where joshua is most dangerous, when you come in on him and when you back out. If he employs the clinching then jp only has to worry about getting timed coming in
