Speaking to ICE36 Ricky Hatton said: “I love Joe Parker. I’ve spent a bit of time with Joe in the Tyson camp. I think he’s a great, great lad. I was at his last fight in Saudi where he put on a really great performance.
“Wilder can’t take his eye off the ball; he can’t underestimate Joe. Everyone thinks it’s a forgone conclusion that Wilder will win this fight and then fight [Anthony] Joshua, which is a bit disrespectful towards Parker and Wallin.
“Technically, Joe is a really gifted boxer. He’s a good size. Wilder has massive punching power but isn’t the best technically.
“If Wilder takes his eye off the ball, then Joe could come in and steal the limelight. He is capable of beating Wilder and has boxed at a high level for a number of years now.”
