The “Day of Reckoning” is finally here and the stage has been set. The co-main event on the star-studded Saudi Arabian fight card has already concluded as Joseph Parker defeated Deontay Wilder. In what can only be called a shocking result, Joseph Parker caused a major upset by winning the bout via unanimous decision. Even though Wilder was the favorite going into the fight, it became tough for the former champion to come out on top this time.
Parker has been mentored by Wilder’s rival Tyson Fury himself so it eventually did provide him some edge against the ‘Bronze Bomber’. Wilder’s ring rust cost him the fight this time, returning to action after his last bout against Robert Helenius in October last year. Nonetheless, speaking of the fight, Wilder’s ring outfit was once again something to witness.

Even though the outcome didn’t turn out in his favor, one thing is certain, Deontay Wilder entertained his fans with his entry. As all eyes awaited the former champion to enter the ring, he did so in a grand fashion. Wilder walked in with a crown on his head.
Moreover, he also donned an exquisite robe that further accentuated his charm as he walked towards the ring. The theme of flames as he made his way to the squared circle added a touch of grandiosity. Nonetheless, his outfit definitely caught the attention of fans as the picture surfaced on social media.
