Joseph Parker drops Dereck Chisora on the way to a thrilling points victory in their heavyweight rematch in Manchester.

Joseph Parker has secured a unanimous points victory over Dereck Chisora, dropping his opponent three times on the way to a second successive win over the Briton.

The former WBO heavyweight champion had the better of the opening exchanges before finally landing one of many fight-defining uppercuts, forcing Chisora to stay upright by holding onto the ropes.

Parker felt on the verge of stopping Chisora on multiple occasions, only for the home fighter to repeatedly show the kind of spirit that has made him a fan's favourite.

Nevertheless, the uppercut again floored Chisora in round seven and eight, and although an exhausted Chisora remarkably made it to the final bell, there were no complaints at Parker prevailing by scores of 115-110, 115-111 and 114-112 respectively.

Earlier in the night, Jack Cullen failed in his attempt to win the European super-middleweight title as he was stopped by a body shot in the sixth round by late replacement Kevin Lele Sadjo.

However, Lerrone Richards enjoyed a better night in the same division as he captured the IBO title with a split-decision victory over Carlos Gongora.

Zelfa Barrett also put himself in line for a shot at the IBF super-featherweight title with a convincing points win over Bruno Tarimo. body check tags ::
