Results: Deontay Wilder vs. Joseph Parker

Deontay Wilder and Joseph Parker was a clash of two heavyweight titans that left fans on the edge of their seats. Both fighters showcased their skills and determination, but in the end, it was Wilder who emerged victorious.

From the opening bell, it was clear that this fight would be a battle of power versus technique. Wilder's explosive punches were a force to be reckoned with, while Parker's slick footwork and precise combinations kept him in the game. The first few rounds were evenly matched, with both fighters landing significant blows.

Parker's strategy was a wise one: to avoid Wilder's dangerous right hand while forcing him to respect his foe's power. Parker (34-3, 23 KOs) timed Wilder early and often with looping right hands over the top.

Wilder reluctant to unload his trademark reckless right hand that always finds its mark. But at 38 years old and with only one round of activity since November 2021, the American fighter admitted his "timing was off a little bit."

Wallin (26-2, 14 KOs) who previously gave Tyson Fury a tough fight in 2019 but lost a unanimous decision, suffered the second loss of his career.

In the co-main event, Parker pulled off a shocking upset victory over Wilder. Parker, who like Wilder is a former heavyweight champion, won by unanimous decision.

Parker (34-3, 23 KOs), the former WBO title holder, has now won four consecutive bouts. Wilder (43-3-1, 42 KOs), the former WBC titleholder, was competing for the first time since October 2022.

Also on the card, Dmitry Bivol successfully defended his WBA light heavyweight title against Lyndon Arthur picking up a unanimous decision win, and Daniel Dubois beat Jarrell Miller via 10th-round TKO to get back in the win column.

Here's Mike Coppinger and Nick Parkinson's takes on all the action at 'Day of Reckoning'.

There was an agreement in place prior to Saturday between Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua, stipulating that the two will match up with one another in March, per an ESPN report. The only conditions were that Wilder had to beat Parker, Joshua must defeat Otto Wallin on the same card in Saudi Arabia, and the two fighters must leave their respective bouts uninjured.
