Wilder comments on Parker's promise to knock him out

Former WBC world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder reacted to the loud words of the ex-WBO belt holder Joseph Parker, who promised to knock him out in the upcoming fight.

“I heard what he said. He said he would knock me out, but I have a hard time believing it. How can you be confident in yourself as a challenger if you weren’t confident in yourself as a champion?

For me, everything will turn out exactly the opposite, but to each his own. We’ll see what happens on Saturday,” Wilder said at a press conference.

The Wilder-Parker fight will take place on December 23 at a boxing evening in Riyadh.
