Derek Chisora rages after Joseph Parker defeat, as Katie Taylor and Natasha Jonas shine The story of the Derek Chisora vs Joseph Parker fight week from inside the bubble and the ring. By Matt Chrisite DEREK CHISORA lost a professional prize fight for the 11th time on Saturday night. “Bulls**t” was his immediate reaction to the split decision being awarded to Joseph Parker after 12 gruelling rounds. That takes the Londoner’s career total to 280, which does not include countless more as an amateur and in the gym. He gave the fight everything he’d got but it wasn’t enough. Not enough ...

Should Katie Taylor vs Natasha Jonas have been the headline act? George Gigney looks back on the Sky Sports broadcast that gave Eubank Jnr and Hatton's non-title fights a higher billing than Bivol’s defence against Richards and made Katie Taylor vs Natasha Jonas a supporting act THERE had been plenty of worthwhile discussion in the days and weeks leading up to Sky Sports’ Manchester card topped by Derek Chisora and Joseph Parker about whether it deserved to be pay-per-view.

Joseph Parker defeated Derek Chisora by a split decision before offering a rematch.

The 116-111 score for Parker was cruel on Chisora, who again gave everything. The two tallies of 115-113 for each fighter were more in keeping with the tight, tense and at times untidy bout. Chisora made the fastest of starts, bowling over a right hand that dropped Parker – more off balance than hurt – inside the first eight secon...

Mark Robinson/Matchroom Katie Taylor is still the undisputed lightweight champion, out-pointing Natasha Jonas over 10 rounds in Manchester to keep the WBC, WBA, IBF, and WBO titles. Taylor retained on scores of 96-95, 96-95, and 96-94. Bad Left Hook had it 97-93 for Taylor, but both did some good work along the way. Taylor was more active for most of the fight, her work rate carrying several rounds, and she did buzz Jonas once with a stiff right hand. But she also felt some shots from Jonas, who is the naturally bigger puncher, and the challenger did some very effective body work in the fight...
