Deontay Wilder vs. Joseph Parker: The Big Fight Preview

It's been 14 months since his first round knockout win over Robert Helenius, but former WBC world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder is back!

He will feature in the co-main event of Saturday's "Day of Reckoning" card in Saudi Arabia where he will take on former WBO champion Joseph Parker live on DAZN PPV. 

For Wilder, this is a chance to re-assert himself as one of the heavyweight division's biggest stars and fans will be eager to see him produce one of his trademark knockout blows. 

However, Parker will be a tough test. Since losing to Joe Joyce last year, the New Zealand fighter has put together three back-to-back wins and if he can get the victory against Wilder, it will be the biggest of his career and he will likely find himself challenging for a world title at some stage in 2024.
