Roy Jones Jr Backing ‘The Bronze Bomber’ To Prevail Despite Being ‘One Dimensional’
For this heavyweight clash in the Saudi Arabian desert between Deontay Wilder and Joseph Parker, Roy Jones Jr believes the New Zealander has all of the tools to defeat ‘The Bronze Bomber’, but that actually completing the job is a different story.
In a recent interview with Action Network, ‘Superman’ admitted it will be a really tough fight, but that if he has prepared properly, Deontay Wilder should get the job done:
“Joe Parker needs to avoid Wilder’s big right hand, if he can do that, he definitely has a chance because Parker is a very good boxer, better than people think he is.
“But, he has to avoid that big right hand because he’s shown he’s susceptible to power in the past and Wilder has the biggest punch in the heavyweight division.
“We’re trying to get to a Wilder versus Joshua next, and if they both come in prepared and they come in shape, they should prevail.
“But, the biggest threat in either of those fights is Joe Parker because if he can figure out Deontay Wilder’s right hand, Joe Parker can really pull off the upset against Wilder.”
