Joe Joyce and Joseph Parker will go head to head in a heavyweight main event at Manchester’s AO Arena this weekend.
Joyce is unbeaten as a professional at 14-0, having knocked out 13 of his opponents. Before turning pro, the Briton won silver at the 2016 Olympics in Rio, but he is out to claim gold this time around.
The winner of the 37-year-old’s clash with Parker, 30, will be crowned interim WBO heavyweight champion. New Zealander Parker previously held the official version of the title, losing it to Anthony Joshua in 2018 in one of just two losses as a pro.
In the co-main event, Amanda Serrano defends her featherweight titles against Sarah Mahfoud while looking to regain momentum after losing a split decision to undisputed lightweight champion Katie Taylor earlier this year. A win for Serrano should line up the Puerto Rican for another clash with Taylor.
