Joe Joyce did what Anthony Joshua, Dillian Whyte, and Andy Ruiz Jr couldn’t do in becoming the first man to knock out Joseph Parker this evening after a gruelling eleven rounds of action.
At the time of the knockout, Joyce led on all three scorecards after impressing massively with a relentless display. After a bright start from Parker, Joyce came into his own as the rounds went on, constantly battering the Kiwi with a thudding jab and aggressive footwork.
Parker found his back on the ropes for the majority of the contest but never yielded to Joyce’s pressure. Despite tiring in the middle portions of the fight, the former WBO heavyweight champion continued to explode out of the corners with vicious left hooks and overhand rights.
However, Joyce — noted for his granite chin — absorbed every shot without anything more than a blink.
