Heavyweight action will headline at the AO Arena in Manchester this weekend, as Joe Joyce clashes with Joseph Parker.
Joyce has gone unbeaten as a professional since winning silver for Team GB at the 2016 Olympics, knocking out 13 of his 14 opponents. At 37, however, time is against the Briton in his pursuit of a world title.

The winner of his bout with New Zealand’s Parker, 30, will leave Manchester as interim WBO heavyweight champion, with the Kiwi (30-2, 21 KOs) having previously held the official version of the belt.
In the co-main event, Amanda Serrano defends her featherweight titles against Sarah Mahfoud while looking to regain momentum after losing a split decision to undisputed lightweight champion Katie Taylor earlier this year. A win for Serrano should line up the Puerto Rican for another clash with Taylor.
