EDDIE HEARN has launched a blistering attack on Deontay Wilder following his shock defeat to Joseph Parker – which left him sick to his stomach.
The Bronze Bomber blew his £100million showdown with Anthony Joshua with a lacklustre display against the former WBO heavyweight champion.
Wilder, 38, was dominated from start to finish and didn’t get going into the 12th and final round on the Riyadh Rumble.
It was, however, too little too late as Parker had already banked every round – which resulted in 118-111, 118-110 and 120-108 scorecards.
And Matchroom Boxing chief Hearn didn’t mince his words when reacting to Wilder’s display, which left him wrenching inside.
He told TNT Sports: “I’m just gonna go and vomit, I’ll be back in 20 seconds.”

“Wilder had no idea, no clue.
“He lost 120-108, lost every round, and he’s there at the end putting his hand up saying he’s won the fight.
