Joseph Parker vs Derek Chisora 2 result and scorecard after heavyweight thriller

Joseph Parker secured a second consecutive victory against Derek Chisora in the pair's fiercely-anticipated rematch in Manchester.

Following a controversial result in the initial bout back in May, the two squared off once again in a fiercely-anticipated rematch that took place in front of a packed crowd at Manchester's AO Arena.

It was an entertaining affair but one that Parker had control of throughout, with Chisora hitting the canvas on three occasions.

To Chisora's credit, he stayed in the contest right until the final bell and landed some solid hits of his own - but he never looked to be in control.

Parker's win sets-up what could be a huge 2022 for the New Zealand fighter, who is looking to propel himself back into the title picture - though he may have to wait until the heavyweight picture settles after Anthony Joshua's rematch against Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury's upcoming defence against Dillian Whyte.

Chisora, meanwhile, has work to do to come back to the top following his consecutive defeats - although Tyson Fury has made it clear he'd like a trilogy bout against his fellow Brit.

Scorecards: 115-110, 115-111, 114-112
