  1. Wilder v Parker

    Barry Jones
    Former world champion on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Parker fought like a man who had a perfect plan and he executed that plan with no fear at all.

  2. Wilder v Parker

    Wilder is strolling around the ring, fist pumping like he believes he has won this.

    Parker climbs up the corner of the ring and raises both his gloves into the air.

    We await the judges' scorecards.

  3. Round 12 - Wilder v Parker

    All over, Wilder puts his hand in the air - he thinks he has this, but surely Parker takes the victory?

    Parker can't let this go to the judges. I can see a split decision Wilder 'win' if it does so the AJ fight happens later in the season. Knock him out Parker!

  5. Round 12 - Wilder v Parker

    Parker lands a big right hand from distance as we enter the final 20 seconds. He's got this, surely?

  6. Round 12 - Wilder v Parker

    Wilder is throwing that right hand now but some of the throws are wild swings rather than measured strikes.

    A minute to go, Parker just has to hang in here and not take any risks.

  7. Round 12 - Wilder v Parker

    A roar of encouragement from the crowd.

    Wilder has to be going for it now.

  8. Wilder v Parker

    Barry Jones
    Former world champion on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Wilder needs a clean knockout to win this fight. I just think he's out of ideas.

    Tactically, Parker has been clever.

  9. Round 11 - Wilder v Parker

    Wilder needs to go for it because he's surely not winning this if it goes the distance.

    It's the penultimate round but it is another round lacking aggression from Wilder.

    An overhand right from Parker lands with an audible thud but then he misses with another soon after. Has to be another round to him though.

    Into the 12th we go.

  10. Round 10 - Wilder v Parker

    Parker just has to avoid doing anything silly because he is way ahead.

    He does almost leave himself exposed with a wild overhand right that misses the target, but avoids getting caught on the counter.

    Wilder looks to have recovered from that huge right hand that had him wobbling two rounds ago but he's going to need a grandstand finish after largely standing off in that round.

  11. Wilder v Parker

    Stacey Copeland
    Former Commonwealth champion on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Parker doesn't look to be troubled by anything Wilder is throwing. A tremendous performance so far.

    Andy Lee has put a great plan together and it's working.

  12. Round 9 - Wilder v Parker

    Wilder hangs back in the final minute of round nine, just looking to get through this.

    But we get into the final few seconds and suddenly Wilder pushes forward and a big right hander gets through.

    An intriguing end to the fight awaits.

  13. Round 9 - Wilder v Parker

    Will that scare push Wilder into action? Or could Parker get over confident and leave himself to that big knockout shot.

    So far, it looks like Wilder is struggling, his feet aren't working as well as they could and Parker can see that.

  14. Wilder v Parker

    Stacey Copeland
    Former Commonwealth champion on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Some massive, massive shots from Parker landed. He will have confidence he can get at Wilder.

  15. Round 8 - Wilder v Parker

    Wilder somehow hangs in there but he's very unsteady on his feet and just about manages to stay up until the bell.

    Just as it looked like Wilder might be sparking into life, Parker lands a huge punch that had Wilder rocking.

  16. Round 8 - Wilder v Parker

    Here we go! Finally Wilder bursts into life as he gets that devastating right hand going, catching Parker with a couple of big shots.

    Parker is okay, however, and pushes Wilder back onto the ropes before landing a cracker of a hit and then begins unloading. He can sense the win!

  17. Wilder v Parker

    Barry Jones
    Former world champion on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Parker is out thinking Wilder, out punching him and out hustling him.

  18. Round 7 - Wilder v Parker

    Wilder needs to step it up because he is way behind at the moment - there's an argument for Parker having taken every round so far.

    Parker gets through with a straight right hand to the face, Wilder then swings and misses before Parker has success with a couple of strong right hands over the top.

    Once again, Parker lands the telling punches.

  19. Wilder v Parker

    Barry Jones
    Former world champion on BBC Radio 5 Live

    At last, Wilder let that right hand go and he landed. I still think Parker took the round.

    Smart work from Joseph Parker. All the way out or all the way in. Can’t get caught at mid range!
