A full day of fights headlined by Anthony Joshua vs. Otto Wallin and Deontay Wilder vs. Joseph Parker took place on Saturday at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Joshua (27-3, 24 KOs), a former unified heavyweight champion, cruised to a win in his third fight of the year, stopping Wallin in the fifth round. This was Joshua’s third win in a row, following back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk.
Wallin (26-2, 14 KOs) who previously gave Tyson Fury a tough fight in 2019 but lost a unanimous decision, suffered the second loss of his career.
In the co-main event, Parker pulled off a shocking upset victory over Wilder. Parker, who like Wilder is a former heavyweight champion, won by unanimous decision.
With the win Parker (34-3, 23 KOs), the former WBO title holder, has now won four consecutive bouts. Wilder (43-3-1, 42 KOs), the former WBC titleholder, was competing for the first time since October 2022.
Also on the card, Dmitry Bivol successfully defended his WBA light heavyweight title against Lyndon Arthur picking up a unanimous decision win, and Daniel Dubois beat Jarrell Miller via 10th-round TKO to get back in the win column.
