American boxer, Deontay Wilder has suffered a shock loss to Joseph Parker on Sunday.
During the fight, Wilder appeared a shadow of himself in Riyadh, and was hurt badly in the eighth as New Zealander Parker was awarded a unanimous decision.
“My timing was off a little bit,” Wilder said in the ring after the loss. “Big ups to Joseph. He did a great job avoiding a lot of my punches. We make no excuses tonight. It was a good fight, and we move on to the next thing.”
“I heard that Deontay lost. So what? He’ll be back. Deontay, everything that he said about me, I could rip him apart right now, but I’m going to take the higher ground,” Joshua reacted after hearing the news.
“You can come back. If he wanted to, he can come back. I’m sure everyone still wants to see that fight,” he added.
