Joe Joyce breaks down and blasts out Joseph Parker in a way no one has done before; Parker is a former world champion who’s never previously been stopped; Joyce finishes him in 11 rounds and then calls out Oleksandr Usyk for heavyweight world title fight
Joe Joyce dismantled former world champion Joseph Parker, blasting him out with a fearsome left hook to win a WBO interim heavyweight title in 11 rounds at the Manchester Arena.
No one before had stopped Parker, who has been the distance with Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte in the past. Nor had the New Zealander ever been broken down in such brutal fashion previously.
As well winning a the interim strap from the WBO, most importantly Joyce defended his place as the leading challenger for their full heavyweight championship, one of the three title belts held by Ukrainian star Oleksandr Usyk.
