As the world looks forward to the biggest fight promotion of 2023 dubbed as the Day of Reckoning, New Zealand-based Samoan boxer Joseph Parker has revealed that he is ready to counter whatever his opponent, Deontay Wilder will throw at him.

Parker says Wilder is still a highly-ranked boxer in the world and he has the devastating knockout punch that everyone talks about.

He says for him, this is the biggest fight of his career apart from fighting Andy Ruiz and Anthony Joshua and he is looking forward to it.

Parker went on to say that any heavyweight boxer can knock out another heavyweight boxer depending on the punches and he feels that he can knock people out as well.

Parker will take on Wilder in the main supporting bout of the promotion in Saudi Arabia.

The main bout will see former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua taking on Otto Wallin.

The Day of Reckoning boxing promotion will be held on Sunday.
