Joseph Parker has mocked Deontay Wilder’s excuse after he blamed jet lag for his defeat against the former WBO Heavyweight Champion. 

Parker dominated their bout, beating the Bronze Bomber in a wide unanimous decision. Wilder only won one round on all three cards. He only boxed one round in over a year after stopping Robert Helenius coming into the Parker bout. Tyson Fury also knocked him out in back-to-back fights before facing Helenius. At 38, he did not look the same fighter. But rather than blaming inactivity or crediting Parker, Wilder blamed his travel schedule.

“It was a boring fight, nothing really happened. I went right back to training the next day. He really didn’t do nothing, they just went off the little flurries or whatever. In the training for that I had to travel two times, 20 hours of travelling. And those guys were already in Europe, they were only two or three hours away. I’m not complaining, I’m just saying what I had to go through,” Wilder said 

Wilder has now developed a reputation for bringing up excuses after a defeat. The same happened with al three of his fights against Fury. In the first bout, Wilder blamed the referee for giving Fury more than a ten-count after the Gypsy King got off the floor in the 12th round. Wilder claimed his costume had made his legs weak in the next fight. He also blamed his former trainer, Mark Breland, for spiking his water. 

To top it all off, Wilder alleged that Fury had tampered with his gloves by putting in egg-shaped objects. Since neither of these things were proved, Wilder was seen as blaming anything but himself for his performances. Now, Parker has reacted to the latest excuse.
