Joseph Parker beat Deontay Wilder via unanimous decision (118-111, 118-110, 120-108) in a heavyweight bout during the "The Day of Reckoning" in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Saturday.

Wilder, who entered the fight with 42 of his 43 wins coming via knockout, waited for his opportunity to add another KO to his ledger, but couldn't find an opening, and Parker took advantage.

With Wilder seemingly waiting for his chance to land a fight-ending blow, Parker kept being the aggressor and coming inside and winning round after round. According to CompuBox, Parker landed 89 of 255 punches — 60 of them coming as power punches — compared to Wilder's 39 out of 204.
