Round 10: Dillian Whyte v Joseph Parker
Remember, Anthony Joshua could not stop Joseph Parker, no-one has been able to. It would be some statement if Dillian Whyte was to become the first professional to do so.

Round 10: Dillian Whyte v Joseph Parker
Dillian Whyte, buoyed by that great shot in the ninth, is looking sharper, bouncing on his toes a bit as he connects with some double jabs.

Round 10: Dillian Whyte v Joseph Parker
Three rounds to go. Can Parker rescue this? That's now two knockdowns, two rounds that will be scored 10-8 to Dillian Whyte.
Parker may well need a knockout already.

Round 9: Dillian Whyte v Joseph Parker
What has Parker got left in the tank, what has he got left in the heart?
Although, let's not be too harsh, he did get up from a hefty, hefty shot. A huge, huge round for Dillian Whyte.
The Rocky theme tune blares around the O2 Arena. We may need a Rocky-like storyline if this is to be a Parker win from here.

No doubt about this one, a crushing left hook from Whyte. Parker crumbles.
He gets himself up, we continue.

Round 8: Dillian Whyte v Joseph Parker
Four rounds to go. "He is exhausted, he has done nothing that round," say Joseph Parker's corner as they maintain the encouraging, not tough love, approach.

Round 8: Dillian Whyte v Joseph Parker
Round eight. Not the best, to be honest. Parker needs a second wind here, a second surge of energy.
Dillian Whyte, at the moment, looks to have this in his hands.

Round 8: Dillian Whyte v Joseph Parker
Starting to look a task too tough for Joseph Parker. The early good work has been replaced by someone who is looking a bit short of ideas, not totally sure how to dispatch the man standing in front of him.

Round 7: Dillian Whyte v Joseph Parker
Worrying signs from Joseph Parker. He is starting to give the impression of someone who is not too keen to be in there. Mouth open, gasping for breath at the end of the round, he trudges back to his corner.
Still, as we saw earlier on, one perfectly-timed, well-landed punch changes the course of a fighter's career..
