Joseph Parker has everything he needs to knock out his opponent Deontay Wilder, according to David Higgins, his promoter.
The former WBO champion from New Zealand takes on America’s former WBC belt holder on the same card headlined by Anthony Joshua which takes place on December 23 in Saudi Arabia.
Wilder is perhaps the most powerful man in boxing, while Parker is a former world champion in his own right.
Parker beat Simon Kean last month via stoppage to get back to winning ways, and Higgins sees that as a way forward.
“It was a fantastic performance by Joseph Parker," Higgins said to Sky Sports.
"He showed he was explosive and showed great power. Simon Kean was a big guy and Joseph knocked him out with an uppercut. It was his third victory this calendar year and Deontay Wilder will be the fourth. We like the momentum that Joseph has heading into this massive opportunity in Saudi Arabia.
"Any heavyweight can knock out a heavyweight. Joseph has got over 20 knockouts on his resume. Wilder has got a huge punch, one of the biggest in history, but Joseph does have some advantages. He is the better boxer, he's quicker. It's naive to write anyone off.
"Joseph was a world champion, so was Wilder. Wilder may have a massive punch, but outside of that, he's not as well developed as Joseph. It's a winnable fight for Joseph Parker, if he brings his A-game and we see the best Joseph Parker on the night.
"Yeah I do [believe Parker can stop Parker]. He put Chisora down a few times with the uppercut. It's all about connecting with a well-timed punch. Of course he can knock out Deontay Wilder.
"Victory will catapult him right up back to the top of the conversation.
"He could credibly ask for a rematch with Anthony Joshua for example, but also challenge for a world title in 2024."
