Former WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker admitted that he considers the upcoming fight against the former WBC title holder Deontay Wilder the hardest in my career.
“Wilder will be the toughest opponent of my career. I think this year has been great for me because I have been active. I think I've caught a good impulse. Let's see where it leads at the end of the year.
Look at the fighters Wilder has fought, his track record and his knockout percentage. He knocked out all the opponents he fought with, except Tyson Fury. So he's very dangerous and a lot of people don't want to fight him, but I think now is a great time for me to fight him. Wilder has not entered the ring for a year. His fight with Helenius lasted one round. Let's see if he has sports rust, like many fighters, or if he prepared in the best way and can shake it off. Soon we will know everything,” Parker said in an interview with the YouTube channel Boxing News.
Let us remind you that the Wilder-Parker fight will take place on December 23 in Riyadh.
