Former WBC heavyweight belt holder Deontay Wilder made the first statement after the announcement of the fight with another former division champion Joseph Parker, which will take place on December 23 at a boxing evening in Riyadh.
“When people come to watch heavyweight fights, they want to see a spectacle, but what they expect most is to see a knockout. I can say for sure, when I step into the ring, this is what I want to do. On December 23rd my plan will be just that. My goal is to get my belt back and unify the division.
I have a high opinion of Joseph Parker. He is an amazing person and an excellent fighter. I’m glad to finally share the ring with him,” the American said at a press conference.
