We all know the key for Joseph Parker will be avoiding any contact to the head with Wilder’s killer of a right hand.

Similar to Wilder, Parker’s been in some hard fights in recent years, getting stopped by Joe Joyce in his last loss as well as two fights against Derek Chisora. December 23rd will mark Parker’s 4th fight of 2023 with Wilder signifying a major step up in opposition. Neither fighter is in their prime but at least Joseph Parker can feel good about his activity this year. Will know just how rusty Wilder is in the opening rounds. Being two years removed from the severe beating he took in the trilogy fight versus Tyson Fury might be a good thing. Obviously it’s not ideal to be out of the ring that long, that said Wilder generally stays in good shape year round. Let’s us begin with the ‘Bronze Bomber’ returning to the ring after a long layoff having fought not even a full round in October of 2022. In this preview and predictions article the focus is on the two co-main event bouts featuring Anthony Joshua vs. No unfortunately we won’t see these two popular heavyweights go to war this Saturday but signs are pointing to a first quarter meeting in 2024.

Of course this boxing podcaster is speaking of Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua. One final hurdle to jump thru then us fans will get the matchup that’s eluded us all these years. The time has come, well technically the moment boxing fans have waited for is almost here (hopefully).
