    Heavyweight boxer Joseph Parker has made light work of Martin Bakole , knocking out the Congolese fighter in the second round in Riyadh

    Heavyweight boxer Joseph Parker has made light work of Martin Bakole , knocking out the Congolese fighter in the second round in Riyadh


    Bakole - who stepped in on short notice for a sick Daniel Dubois - took an overhand right to the top of the head, before stumbling to the floor.

    Parker says trainer Andy Lee told him to be calm prior to the final knockout blow, on DAZN



    Parker's record sits at 36 and 3, having won his last six bouts.
