That's all from us tonight. Until next time!

Britain's Joe Joyce walked through the best New Zealander Joseph Parker had to offer to knock out his rival in the 11th round of a thrilling fight in Manchester.

The heavyweights went toe-to-toe in a back and forth contest before a stunning left hook landed flush on the chin of Parker.

Joyce claimed the WBO interim heavyweight title with the biggest win of his career and now has his eyes set on challenging heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk in 2023.

The Briton's step up in class had been debated all week after 14 pro fights against lower-level opponents, but he showed a granite chin to become the first man to stop Parker, a former world champion.

"Joseph Parker, what a fighter," Joyce said. "It was a tough fight. What a tough fight. I had to dig deep to get through the rounds. I really enjoyed it."

Steve Bunce tells BT Sport: "That was the smartest Joe Joyce, he was sensible.

"His defence was better, his timing was better and he fought his way through that fight.

"That sends an even scarier warning to the rest of the heavyweights than what he showed with his chin."

Promoter Frank Warren, speaking to BT Sport: "An amazing heavyweight fight.

"It was such a high pace but Joe showed why he is the juggernaut. I knew he'd get there in the end but hats off to Joseph Parker, he is a brave warrior but we have a new kid on the block here.

"Joyce is like a fine wine, he is getting better with age. He's the mandatory challenger for the WBO title against Usyk and we're going to move heaven and earth to make sure he gets a shot."

Joe Joyce tells BT Sport: "Joseph Parker what a fighter and what a fight.

"It was a tough fight and praise to Parker. I really enjoyed it and I had to dig deep to get through the rounds. I hit him with everyone I've got, I tried it all and he was still coming forward.

"I managed to drop him at the end but it was hard work.

"Usyk let's get it on."

Good sportsmanship on display as the two hug after Joe Joyce is confirmed as the new WBO interim heavyweight world champion.
