Khan praises Parker for victory over Wilder

Dmitriy Kel Dec. 31, 2023, 4:41 a.m.

British boxing veteran Amir Khan admitted that he is still impressed by the victory of the former WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker over the former WBC title holder Deontay Wilder.

“Parker gave a damn good performance. In this form, he would be able to defeat many fighters from the top 10. A perfect fight from a striking point of view. What an upset! Everyone expected Wilder to destroy him and get a big fight with Joshua. Perhaps after this victory there will be a rematch between Parker and Anthony.

Joseph is a dangerous fighter. I don’t think anyone is underestimating him or thinking he’s going to be an easy fight. He's been fighting for a long time. I think it will be great to see him fight Joshua again because both fighters have improved,” Boxing Social quotes Khan as saying.
