Recap: NZ's Joseph Parker beats Derek Chisora in impressive style

12:38 pm on 19 December 2021

Kiwi heavyweight boxer Joseph Parker has won his rematch with Derek Chisora in a unanimous decision by the judges in Manchester, England.

The 37-year-old Briton is still sore about the split decision that didn't go his way in a behind-closed-doors fight in May.

Chisora floored Parker after only 10 seconds of their first bout, but the New Zealander recovered to get the verdict 115-113 on two cards, with one judge seeing the contest 116-111 in Chisora's favour.

Parker has had 31 professional bouts with 29 wins and 21 of those via a knockout.
