    JOYCE GETS A STOPPAGE WIN WITH 18 SECONDS TO GO!
    Juggernaut will be happy to finally put those double Zhang defeats behind him.
    And he’ll be delighted to have done it with a KO blow!

    Joe Joyce continues to pile on the pressure in round nine as we have now seen a bit of blood in the ring.
    Juggernaut senses the victory while Kash Ali is literally holding on.
    Lets see if Joyce can get the big shot in the final round!
    Copy linkCopiedJoyce vs Ali R8
    Juggernaut is picking up momentum and pushing Ali into all four corners of the ring.
    Joyce is sensing that Ali is slowly beginning to drop his guard and that is what helped him land a few more punches in round 8.
    Two more rounds to go!
    Copy linkCopiedJoyce vs Ali R7
    BIG ROUND FOR JOYCE!
    Juggernaut hit a big upper body shot on Ali in what has been the best round of the match so far.
    Three left to go!
    Copy linkCopiedJoyce vs Ali R6
    It’s quite a snore fest in truth at this point – neither boxer really going for it.
    Joyce is trying to throw more punches but nothing is sticking.
    Copy linkCopiedJoyce vs Ali R5
    Another lacklustre round has gone by and its not pretty, but Joyce is getting the job done.
    It’s all about the win for the Juggernaut after losing consecutive fights to Zhang.
    But he’ll be determined to land a big right hand and convincingly beat the man who bit David Price.
    Copy linkCopiedJoyce vs Ali R4
    It’s all Joyce but in all honesty, the Juggernaut has not had to do much.
    You can probably count on one hand the amount of punches Ali has thrown in round four.
    Joyce can afford to keep doing what he’s doing and he’ll win on points.
    Copy linkCopiedJoyce vs Ali R3
    That’s better from Joyce!
    Juggernaut has finally landed some clean right hooks on Ali forcing Ali to run around the ring.
    But if it carries on, this one is going all the way to the bitter end unless a KO comes out of nowhere.
    Copy linkCopiedJoyce vs Ali R2
    Round two has been similar to the first round with both boxers saving fuel in the tank for later on.
    Once again Joyce tried to connect some punches, but it’s just not happening at the moment.
    Cautious is how I would describe this one.
    Copy linkCopiedJoyce vs Ali R1
    Both boxers are just feeling each other out – not going all guns blazing early doors.
    Joyce has thrown a few wayward punches that have failed to connect.
    While Ali is being tentative and not really letting his hands go just yet.

    HERE WE GO!
    Joe Joyce looks to revive his career in Birmingham against Kash Ali.
    And the crowd are pumped for this huge British brawl.

    Dull affair as Zeuge only turned up for a payday.
    Parker was down early but Zeuge never seemed bothered after that.
    The judges called it: 96-94, 97-92 and 98-91.
    Don’t rush back Zeuge.

    Parker seems to have suffered an injury to his ankle or knee, he is wobbly but very close to victory.

    But Parker is wisely jabbing and holding until the final bell secures him a win

    Parker vs Zeuge R9
    Parker lands a rifle of a right hand but Zeuge is a brickwall of a man.
    It must be 8-1 now and the ref asks for no roughhouse tactics in the last couple after Zeuge complains.
    This is Zeuge’s first fight out of Germany and he will be keen to get back after this showing.
    Another Parker right hand scores but Zeuge is rock solid.
    Copy linkCopiedParker vs Zeuge R7
    “He’s f***ed now”, Parker’s trainer Errol Johnson says about Zeuge.
    Assistant Paul Mann orders their charge to get the job over with.
    Zeuge is only throwing the odd haymaker, his only hope is a hail Mary shot.
    Parker should have the ability and power to punish that.
    Copy linkCopiedParker vs Zeuge R6
    Zeuge never stops giggling, despite Parker hitting him all different ways.
    On this form, Parker should be wrapping this up inside the distance.
    Zeuge is a glutton for punishment and Parker should take advantage – without getting greedy.
    Copy linkCopiedParker vs Zeuge R4
    Zeuge is one paced and head hunting.
    Parker is fresher and faster and banking rounds.
    Body shots might be the way to break Zeuge down as he looks tough as old boots.
    He also laughs and smiles through a lot of the action – oddball.
    Copy linkCopiedParker vs Zeuge R3
    Right hooks unravel Parker and leave him with a 10-8 round lost.
    The Brit made a solid start but got clipped on the chin and staggered.
    Better southpaw work from Parker, lead hooks to the body and riund banked by the Derby man.
    Copy linkCopiedParker down R2
    Parker rocked badly.
    A whipped right hand stuns him and stiffens his legs.
    Zeuge steams in and smothers and then a clubbing blow around the head forces him to take a knee and count.

    Derby super-middle Parker rebuilding after a 2022 loss to John Ryder.

    Glad that’s over.
    Too one sided and McCann seemed to lose interest in the end.
    Strand waited too long to let his hands go and his face was already a warzone by the time he got going.
    McCann will shortly be crowned the new British super-bantam champ.

    Strand finally wins a round with a flurry at the end.
    Three shots rapidly fired and landed.
    But McCann just shakes them off and returns to his corner for a break.
    A bit of complacency from the runaway leader.
    Copy linkCopiedMcCann vs Strand R10
    Strand lands a few punches but McCann never winces.
    Strand’s corner tells him not to blow his nose and that usually means he has a fracture on the hooter or a cheekbone.

    Conor McGregor sensationally opens door to fighting ‘NERDS’ Jake Paul, KSI and Tommy Fury and picks his top choice

    CONOR McGREGOR has sensationally opened the door to fighting Jake Paul, KSI and Tommy Fury – calling the trio “NERDS.” McGregor has been called out by all three celebrity boxing stars but the UFC legend has always distanced himself from the crossover bouts. Conor McGregor opened the door to fighting Jake Paul, KSI and Tommy FuryCredit: SplashBut now it appears he has had a change of heart when probed on a move back to boxing and picked KSI as the best of the bunch to fight. He told SneekPeakTV: “Yeah you know, the YouTube nerds could be like, I would consider that a nixer. “Your Uncle’s friend needs a f****** radiator fitted in his house, so you’ll do a side job, and get side pay.“I would consider them guys to be nixers. If I was to pick one out of them, I would say KSI, he has a big name in the U.K.”READ MORE IN UFCThe term “nixer” is Irish slang for a side job. And McGregor in 2017 put aside his MMA career to cross over to boxing to face American icon Floyd Mayweather, losing in ten rounds. But due to his current UFC contract – which has two bouts remaining on it – the Irishman is prohibited from another boxing switch. Although that has not stopped Paul – who returns against 57-year-old Mike Tyson on July 20 – from continuing to call McGregor out.
