Joseph Parker gave a real shocker to the boxing world last night. Parker secured his 35th win last night when he competed in the co-main event against the former WBC champion. Parker’s opponent was expecting to compete in a big match-up against the same-night main event winner.
As Deontay Wilder failed to register his win against Joseph Parker, the hope of watching the potential bout between Anthony Joshua and Wilder is just a myth now. Joseph dominated all rounds against the 38-year-old in a 12-round fight and secured a one-sided victory against the former WBC champion.
Tyson Fury and Paris Fury congratulate Joseph Parker.
Joseph Parker secured the fight via unanimous decision with scores of 118-111, 118-110, and 120-108. On December 23rd, main event winner Anthony Joshua kept his promise of winning the bout against Otto Wallin with a dominating victory. However, Wilder’s failure to impress judges in the co-main event resulted in the failure to meet the condition of a potential bout in March 2024. Parker’s claim of halting the party came forward when he didn’t give Deontay a single chance to get an easy win.
Now for the win against the 38-year-old, Joseph Parker is getting lots of praise from the fighting world. Parker came out to be the real game changer, and Tyson Fury and his wife, Paris Fury, were very impressed to see his good friend winning against his great rival.
Fury was seen commenting on his Instagram post, “Not Wilder’s Night, but he gave his all. Respect to both fighters for giving us a glimpse of heavyweight history.” giving credit to both fighters for their remarkable action in heavyweight history.
Joseph Parker lavishes praise on his coach.
The 32-year-old co-main event winner praised his coach for his words before the fight. Joseph Parker and his coach, Andy Lee, both praised each other during the post-fight press conference. Parker talked about how motivational words and hard work from his coach have helped him, and on the other hand, Lee gave all credit to Joseph’s hard work and motivation.
Joseph Parker also didn’t forget to mention Tyson Fury for helping him compete against his biggest rival and former WBC champion. Fury is also preparing for his upcoming matchup against Oleksander Usyk after his unanimous decision victory against former UFC champion Francis Ngannou. Parker said, “Thanks for all your help. I appreciate it a lot. Massive help. We moved over to England; Tyson gave us his time, sparring. It all came to plan.”
