Former WBO world heavyweight champion Joseph Parker 29-2 (21 KOs) scored a twelve round split decision over former British, European, Commonwealth and WBC world title challenger Derek “War” Chisora 32-11 (23 KOs) on Saturday night at the AO Arena in Manchester, England. Chisora scored a flash knockdown early in the opener and appeared to boss the first half of the fight. Parker did work his way back into the bout and began to out-hustle the tiring Londoner throughout the middle rounds, with both men mixing it up in close session towards the final bell. Scores were 115-113 Chisora, 116-111, 115-113 Parker, however the consensus at ringside had Chisora winning the battle comfortably.
