According to reports, New Zealand heavyweight Joseph Parker will take on former WBC champion Deontay Wilder in Saudi Arabia the following month.
According to The Herald, Parker and Wilder will square off on the card before Anthony Joshua takes on Otto Wallin of Sweden.
The event is anticipated to take place on December 24, NZT, and confirmation of it may come early this week.
Parker, who is now 33-3, would be fighting for the fourth time this year. His most recent victory came in Saudi Arabia, where he stopped Simon Kean via third-round knockout.
With so many excellent matchups, it is difficult to choose just one, but if you had to, Wilder-Parker might be the best fit. The two former heavyweight champions are battling to maintain their status in the sport and prepare to take on Anthony Joshua in 2024. From 2016 to 2018, Parker held the WBO title, while Wilder held the WBC title from 2015 to 2020.
Compared to Parker (33-3, 23 KOs), who is fighting for the fourth time in almost a year, Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs), who was negotiating to fight Joshua on December 23 earlier this year, is taking a bigger chance. Since October 2022, when he defeated Robert Helenius in his first fight following consecutive KO losses to Tyson Fury, Wilder has only competed in one round of competition.
