Deontay Wilder vs Joseph Parker LIVE: UK start time, undercard, talkSPORT commentary and how to foll
Deontay Wilder will take on Joseph Parker as part of one of boxing’s biggest-ever events in Saudi Arabia this evening and it will be live on talkSPORT.
Wilder and Parker meet on a stacked card that also features Anthony Joshua vs Otto Walin, Dmitry Bivol vs Lyndon Arthur and Daniel Dubois vs Jarrell Miller.

The ‘Bronze Bomber’ was tipped to be taking on heavyweight rival AJ in his next fight, however despite them sharing the bill, he takes on former WBO champion Parker instead.
Wilder will be fighting for the first time since October 2022 when he knocked out Robert Helenius while Parker has been a lot more active, winning all three of his fights this year.
The winner of this bout is expected to take on the winner of Joshua vs Walin and Wilder’s highly-anticipated meeting with the British star may finally happen in 2024.
And at the weigh-in, Wilder came in at 213lbs and Parker 245.3lbs.
