Deontay Wilder vs Joseph Parker
The ferocious punching Deontay Wilder ends his period of inactivity with an intriguing clash against another former world champion Joseph Parker. It is the co-main event on the huge ‘Day of Reckoning’ fight night in Saudi Arabia.
Deontay Wilder vs Joseph Parker Prediction
Wilder has boxed just one round in more than two years - a demolition job on Robert Helenius in Brooklyn last October - which spelled a return to winning ways for the ‘Bronze Bomber’ after his memorable trilogy with Tyson Fury.
For the seasoned Parker, under the tutelage of Andy Lee, the fight is an opportunity to tear up the script and scupper the planned Joshua vs Wilder fight next year.

Deontay Wilder vs Joseph Parker Tips
This intriguing fight pits arguably the hardest hitting heavyweight of all time - Deontay Wilder - against the technically superior Joseph Parker.
The American has knocked out 42 of his 43 victims and wasted no time in blowing out Robert Helenius in a round back in October 2022. And therein lies a potential problem for Wilder – inactivity.
Check on the fight record for both Deontay Wilder and Joseph Parker before Saturday’s fight.
Parker, who trains alongside Tyson Fury in Morecambe, has been busy successfully rebuilding his career after defeat to Joe Joyce last year. The affable Kiwi is boxing for the fourth time this year and is confident he can outbox Wilder, utilising his fitness and experience to frustrate his opponent.
Whether Parker can keep away from Wilder’s murderous right hand is another matter. Expect Parker to use his ring savvy to keep out of trouble and take the early rounds before Wilder ultimately finds a home for one of his power punches and ends the contest with a stoppage win late in the fight, between rounds 10-12 (6/1 on Betfred).
