    Christmas has come early for Joseph Parker - on DAZN

    Christmas has come early for Joseph Parker - on DAZN


    The New Zealand heavyweight has stunned fellow former champion Deontay Wilder with a unanimous points victory in Riyadh .

    Parker fought strategically - racking up the rounds with regular punches connecting to Wilder's body and head.

    The American - by contrast - looked rusty in his first fight in more than a year as he loaded up in a bid to find a knockout punch.

    Parker says he was always confident he could get the job done.



    Wilder's given Parker his flowers.



    Parker joins Tyson Fury as the only other boxer to beat Wilder in his 47 fight pro career.
