Advertisement
SATURDAY, 18TH DECEMBER
Joseph Parker and Derek Chisora will square off for a second time when they meet at the Manchester Arena on December 18 exclusively live on DAZN. The heavyweight rivals shared 12 hard rounds back in May when Parker got off the floor in the opening session to take the fight on points, a decision that Chisora didn’t agree with. Since the first meeting, Chisora has made big changes to his team with Dave Coldwell returning in the corner and 258 MGT, the management company of Anthony Joshua, also playing a part.
