The New Zealand boxer explained how he was able to defeat his American opponent.
Joseph Parker explains how he was able to beat another former world champion, Deontay Wilder, in a fight in Saudi Arabia.
The New Zealand boxer noted that he successfully executed his plan for the fight with the American. In addition, there was a significant period without fights for Wilder.
“I came into the fight with a plan. I worked really hard in camp and coach Andy Lee came up with a plan that I executed. I felt good in the ring and being active throughout the year helped me finish it that way.”
I think Wilder’s downtime played a role. Our game plan was to neutralize Deontay’s attempts to finish the job. Andy told me before the match that you hit a wedge with a wedge. Now I am ready for any opponent they give me.
I won a unique victory. The victory over Ruiz was great in its time, but this one surpassed it,” Parker was quoted as saying by ProBox TV.
Wilder had previously announced whether he would retire after losing to Parker.
