Joseph Parker authored one of the biggest upsets of the year Saturday, defeating former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder via unanimous decision (118-111, 118-110, 120-108) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
One of three judges scored all 12 rounds in Parker’s favor.
The victory likely ruins the blockbuster matchup between Wilder and Anthony Joshua, who agreed to terms earlier this month for a March 9 fight in Saudi Arabia.
