“Wilder fumbled the bag” – Fans in shock as Deontay Wilder loses the ‘money fight’ against Anthony Joshua after Joseph Parker outclassed him

The world of boxing saw a surprising twist when Joseph Parker defeated Deontay Wilder in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Parker, 31, followed a flawless game to defeat Wilder. Parker characterized Wilder as his most challenging opponent to date. The result not only highlighted Parker’s outstanding skill and planning but also cast doubt on Wilder’s future in the sport.

Parker gave his greatest performance ever and commanded the ring from the outset. Despite Wilder’s incredible right hand, Parker utilized excellent techniques, notably a key overhand right. He had Wilder in danger in the eighth round, forcing him into a corner and firing a torrent of blows. Despite Wilder’s comeback from the punches, the judges unanimously favored Parker with scores of 120-107, 118-111, and 118-110. This victory cements Parker’s position in the heavyweight class and throws a wrench into Wilder’s planned clash with Anthony Joshua.

Parker considers the triumph “massive” and the most difficult of his career. He has made a remarkable recovery after struggling in 2018 and a stoppage defeat to Joe Joyce the previous year. Parker reasserted himself in the heavyweight picture with this victory, and he stands to benefit both in terms of reputation and financial benefits, earning roughly $10 million for the fight.

Wilder’s performance was the center of critique in the boxing world. With this defeat, the much-anticipated bout between him and Anthony Joshua is now out of the question. Boxing fans were hoping to see this showdown between these two iconic heavyweights. They will now have to wait and see how Wilder’s future in the ring turns out.
