Round 7: Parker v Fury
Parker continues his policy of rushing in, swinging wildly. His gameplan seems to be hope one connects and then attack. The only problem for him is those wild swings have not brought much success, if any success, so far.
It also does leave himself open to a well-executed uppercut.

There is the halfway point. Fury is winning and halfway to the world heavyweight title. The uppercuts that Fury have landed have provided moments of class in a scrappy, untidy bout.

British heavyweight Dillian Whyte is not impressed.

Round 5: Parker v Fury
Parker again the aggressor, Fury the better boxer so far. Five gone. A maximum of seven more.

A huge, wild swinging right hand from Parker lands, maybe not cleanly, but lands anyway. Fury, falls back on to the ropes and that helps him avoid taking the full weight of that punch.

Once again Parker gets a telling off. He is on thin ice. Once more and it could lead to a point coming off, and he certainly cannot afford that given the start he has made.

Hughie Fury is cut above the right eye. I'd love to see Parker use a bit more of the boxing brain I thought he had. I've got to say, I'm a bit disappointed.

"Accidental clash of heads" says Marcus McDonnell to the Fury corner and Fury has a little nick over his eye to deal with.

He is winning this fight. I've given Hughie Fury the first three rounds, even though they are not a clear three rounds.

David Price
Former British heavyweight champion on Radio 5 live
I think that was another Hughie Fury round for me. He was scoring with some better punches.
Round 3: Parker v Fury
Three rounds gone and Parker has not been in any trouble. He has though not landed too much though and appears to already be blowing a bit.

Joseph Parker is aiming to get into range and then let the fists fly. Fury is looking the more mobile of the two men and maybe Parker has already put a lot more than he would have liked into this contest.
The wild swings and attacks that don't connect have to take their toll.
Round 2: Parker v Fury

Hughie Fury is making Parker miss wonderfully but he himself is not finding the target.
Round 2: Parker v Fury
Parker is diving in. If he connects, he is going to cause some damage. If Fury is quick enough to see him coming and counter then he too could have a lot of success.
