Live updates: Parker vs Joyce for WBO interim heavyweight world title

Kiwi heavyweight Joseph Parker wants to knock out Englishman Joe Joyce when the pair square off in Manchester this morning (NZ time).

Kiwi heavyweight Joseph Parker wants to knock out Englishman Joe Joyce when the pair square off in Manchester this morning (NZ time).

The 31-year-old has not fought since his unanimous points decision win over British veteran Dereck Chisora last December.

Joyce, who is 37, is unbeaten in his career as a professional with a 14-0 record.

A win for either man may offer the chance to take on current WBO title holder Oleksander Usyk for the undisputed crown - although there is a rematch clause for Joyce should Parker emerge victorious.

Follow live updates with Jamie Wall. The bout - scheduled to last 12 rounds - is due to start around 9am New Zealand time depending on the undercard.
