Former heavyweight champion Joseph Parker (26-2, 20 KOs) scored a TKO victory in the tenth round over Alex Leapai (32-8-4, 26 KOs) at the boxing evening in Providence, US. The duel was interrupted after a series of straight right hands from the 27-year-old right-hander.
The bout proved to be one-sided. Parker was definitely faster than his opponent, who was trying to compete with him only in the first round. Then, in subsequent rounds Alex Leapai focused mainly on survival, but in the end the referee spared him from further beating and interrupted these numerous strikes.
At the same evening Khalid Yafai (26-0, 15 KOs) defeated Norbelto Jimenez (29-9-4, 16 KOs) on points and retained his WBA super flyweight title. After twelve rounds the judges scored it 117-109, 118-108 and 119-107 in favor of the British.
