Joseph Parker has thanked Tyson Fury for the Brit's help following his upset victory over Deontay Wilder.
Parker took on the former WBC heavyweight champion in a highly anticipated matchup last night. Wilder was a massive -800 favorite going into the fight. However, the 31-year-old Kiwi had a better performance on the night and managed to walk away with a unanimous decision win.
'The Gypsy King' has fought Wilder three times. The first bout ended in a split draw, while Fury secured victories via stoppages in the next two.

Deontay Wilder reacts to retirement rumors following his loss to Joseph Parker
Deontay Wilder has clarified the air surrounding retirement rumors after losing to Joseph Parker at the 'Day of Reckoning' pay-per-view event.
While Wilder was billed to take on Anthony Joshua following a potential victory over Parker, his loss has resulted in many people speculating that this might be it for the Alabama native.
However, despite winning just one fight in his last four outings, 'The Bronze Bomber' seems to be motivated to come back stronger.
Shortly after his loss to Parker, Wilder took to Instagram and had this to say in a video:
“We came out short tonight. You know what, I don’t know what happened to be honest. My timing was off and I didn’t throw my punches, I didn’t let my hands go like I was supposed to. Sometimes you get like that. But you live to see another fight. You live to see another moment.”
He added:
“I’m still full of happiness, still full of joy, still full of smile. Sorry if I let anyone down but we will be back though! That’s the thing about it, you know.”
