but the scorecards were very questionable.

Thankfully Parker scored 3 knockdowns.

Those were some of the worst scorecards I've seen in a while and considering this is boxing that's saying something.

Would like to see Parker against Ruiz or someone of a similar level next up, he's still young and has time to get back to another title shot.

Chisora has had a good career but should retire from the ring now with his reputation for bravery intact.

However, if he continues to box the danger is that his bravery and stubbornness will lead him to more and worse beatings.

Been watching BT Sports boxing classics, watched Hagler v Hearns and Duran v Leonard (the brawl in Montreal) the other day

Both unbelievable fights even if the Hagler one was over in a few rounds

Rumours doing the rounds that Anthony Joshua has been offered £15m to step aside and let Usyk and Fury have a unification fight in March.

Makes sense for Joshua, because if he is moving trainers, then getting a preparatory fight with his new people is more sensible than ploughing straight into a rematch which could end his career. It seems the logical choice to me.

Looks like Tyson Fury will be fighting Dillian Whyte next after all.

Fury will put his WBC heavyweight title on the line against Dillian Whyte at a date and location to be announced. Fury's promoter, Frank Warren, won Friday's purse bid by offering $41,025,000 — the biggest in boxing history. Fury is entitled to $32.8 million while Whyte can earn $8.2 million.

Amir Khan vs Kell Brook tonight.

A tight contest is a possibility but I reckon the power of Brook could be a factor early doors.

Khan wins if it goes the distance but Brook in 4 for me.

Undecided on a prediction, think Khan in the first 4. But not sure what happens if Brook lands on Khan's chin
