Barry McGuigan: 'Parker fight is tougher than Wilder thinks'

Dmitriy Kel Nov. 23, 2023, 2:30 p.m.

Famous British trainer and former world champion Barry McGuigan shared his opinion on the upcoming battle in the heavyweight division between Deontay Wilder And Joseph Parker.

“I think this is a very tough fight for Wilder. Joseph Parker is a very good fighter with a good jaw. Andy Lee is a very good coach and a smart tactician. I think this is a tougher fight than Wilder imagines.

But it has an equalizer and you can never discount it. He can knock out an opponent in the first or 12th round. And this is what is most fascinating about him. This is a tough fight. "Parker has a great chance," McGuigan said.

Let us remind you that the Wilder-Parker fight will take place on December 23 in Saudi Arabia.
