Before Betting On Deontay Wilder vs Joseph Parker

A thrilling night of boxing action is set for December 23, as two of the key players in the heavyweight division will be on the same card. Anthony Joshua collides with Otto Wallin, while Deontay Wilder will be looking for a success against Joseph Parker. If results go as expected, it could set up a massive heavyweight showdown between Wilder and Joshua in early 2024.

Wilder has been away from the ring for an extended period, as he was last in action in October 2022, as he stopped Robert Helenius in the opening round. That was the perfect response by the American after losing on back-to-back occasions against Tyson Fury. That defeats remain the only losses on his professional record, and victories against Parker and Joshua could set up a rematch with the Gypsy King.

However, Wilder will not be overlook the clear challenge posed by Parker, as the Kiwi has stepped in the ring with some of the very best throughout his career. He has won 33 of his 36 professional bouts, with his only three losses coming against Joe Joyce, Joshua, and Dillian Whyte.

Parker has been back on track since being stopped for the first time by Joyce last year, as he has scored wins in each of his previous three bouts. All three wins have been recorded this year, which includes a success in Saudi Arabia against Simon Kean at the end of October via third-round knockout.
