Deontay Wilder Vs Joseph Parker Betting Odds

Deontay Wilder had virtually gone off the radar for boxing and betting fans before an announcement that he would face Joseph Parker on the same card of Anthony Joshua Vs Otto Wallin. The Bronze Bomber's last fight was a 1 round knockout of Robert Helenius in-which it was clear that Wilder was looking to counter-box the Finnish heavyweight. Wilder would win in the final ten seconds of the opening round with a beautiful counter-right hook which ended the fight. It was only the third punch of the fight that Wilder landed, showing that with his Orthodox stance and knockout power, he is a danger for any fighter.

Since Deontay Wilder's last fight, his opponent on December 23rd has kept himself incredibly busy with three fights this year, winning all three. However, the main selling point of this fight was removed from the bout last year, everyone asked - could the Bronze Bomber knock out the New Zealander? However, after Parker was knocked out by the Brit Joe Joyce, his stock has dropped and the odds favour the Bronze Bomber because of this.

Betting on the winner of Deontay Wilder Vs Joseph Parker

Can Deontay Wilder land that knockout punch? That is the question the world is asking before he takes on Joseph Parker. The odds state that Wilder is the heavy favourite to land that knockout punch but it has to be said that if Joseph Parker can take the fight the distance, he is the favourite. Deontay Wilder simply doesn't win by decision. Wilder has won 1 fight by decision and that was against Bermane Stiverne who was hospitalized with dehydration after the fight. Many would also argue that this is the biggest date in the fighting career of Joseph Parker, if Parker loses it's likely that his career will fizzle out but if Parker wins and shocks the world, this outcome could rejuvenate his career at the top level.

If you think the fight will be stopped, you're likely betting on Deontay Wilder. If you think the fight will go the distance, you could well be looking to back the underdog Joseph Parker to succeed in this fight.

Betting on the finish of Deontay Wilder Vs Joseph Parker

As mentioned above, stats show that the fight in Riyadh is likely to go one of two ways, against big names, Parker tends to go to a decision but Wilder is one of the kings when it comes to knockouts and his record of 42 knockouts in 46 fights demonstrates that. The odds show that the fight will very likely go one of two ways, so what you bet on here depends on who you are expecting to win the fight. It's likely that we'll see the two favourites win their fights as Anthony Joshua is scheduled to fight Otto Wallin on the same day, so a double bet for Joshua to win via decision and Wilder to win via knockout could be one of the most popular options for the favourites on this date.

Betting on Rounds in Deontay Wilder Vs Joseph Parker

This is where the fight could get interesting as Deontay Wilder is one of the most unpredictable fighters in the world. Deontay Wilder has ended 21 fights in the first round, which is an absolutely astonishing figure. However, Joseph Parker wouldn't be finished in one round, would he? Both of these fighters have an astonishing number of knockouts in the opening four rounds of the fight. Wilder Vs Parker is almost certain to be a barn burner and we believe that for either side to win by knockout they'll need to come out of the blocks quick and that means we could see a very short fight this December. Stats and odds will favour a first round knockout for Wilder but it wouldn't surprise many if the bout went a little longer.
