“If not, it was nice.” Wilder's first comment after defeat

Former world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder suggested after his defeat to Joseph Parker that this could be his last fight.

"Let's see what will happen next. There's more to come. But as far as money is concerned, I did great. I'm a happy boxer. I'll be back, and if not, well, it was nice. I don't know if the same fire is still there as before. Many things calmed me down.

I wore that smile all week. And I will continue to wear it. Nothing can stop me,” Wilder said.

Parker defeated 38-year-old Wilder by unanimous decision: 118:111, 118:110 and 120:108.
