Chisora demands Parker rematch
We get it. Controversy sells. But not when controversy is a fight put in limbo by a coin toss.
Parker had to pick himself up from the canvas in round one after getting knocked down in the opening seven seconds.
David Haye had revealed Chisora needed a knockout otherwise he would lose. Haye was proved right.
The pair, who enjoyed a Five Guys burger together backstage, are likely to have a rematch later this year and Chisora hinted it could be on Tyson Fury's undercard.
Richards falls short, another Mexican upset
The Mexican nightmare continued for Hearn and Matchroom Boxing as James Tennyson - looking to win the IBO lightweight crown - was knocked out by Jovanni Straffon in the first round.
It is the second notable victory by a Mexican on a Matchroom card this year with Mauricio Lara producing an upset of the year contender against Josh Warrington.
Anthony Joshua has given Warrington advice since his defeat, having experienced heavyweight humiliation to Andy Ruiz Jr. in 2019.
Chris Eubank Jr. also marked his return and overcame a determined Marcus Morrison via unanimous decision in his first outing under Roy Jones Jr. There were also wins for Campbell Hatton, Scott Fitzgerald and Johnny Fisher.
