Parker dominated the American from the opening bell to score a unanimous decision victory in the Riyadh rumble.

And he was cheered on by the Furys, who tuned in to watch the bout from their Morecambe mansion.

Paris shared a clip of Michael Buffer reading out the scorecards to her Instagram story with the accompanying caption: “@JoeBoxerParker.

“Congratulations our good friend.”

Before the scorecards were read out, she said: “Come on Joe.”

And she broke out into cheers of joy after the Kiwi’s biggest victory was confirmed.

WBC heavyweight king Fury reacted to Parker’s win by posting a graphic of his training partner being hoisted in the air to his Instagram story.

Victory over Wilder was Parker’s fourth on the bounce since he was brutally knocked out by Joe Joyce.

After having his hand raised, he said: “It was a dangerous and tough fight but everyone had other plans but this is God’s plan.

“The strategy was: I got really fit and stayed calm and focused.

“Today we got the win and can have a Merry Christmas.

“I just want to get back to Samoa to see my wife and family.

“He caught me a few times, only on the guard, and even that really hurt.

“This win is massive because I have my whole team here, apart from Tyson Fury, Tyson thank you for all the help.”

Wilder, 38, is in a career no man’s land after blowing his £100million two-fight series with Anthony Joshua but insists his fighting days are far from over.

He said: “Sorry if I let anyone down. This is not the end, we’ll be back.”
