Swedish heavyweight Otto Wallin commented on the sensational victory Joseph Parker above Deontay Wilder.
“I didn’t watch the Wilder-Parker fight, but everyone says Joseph did a great job. This is also inspiring. Last year, Parker lost to Joe Joyce, came back and fought four times, ending the year with a victory over Wilder. All this happened in 15 months.
It's inspiring when you see fighters come back from defeat. When you fight the best, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. You get inspired when you see what can be done. So failure is not the end of the world. You can always come back if you want,” Wallin said in an interview with the Boxing News YouTube channel.
Let us remember that on December 23, Parker defeated Wilder by unanimous decision at a boxing evening in Riyadh. Wallin himself lost early to Anthony Joshua in the main event of this show.
