OPBF and World Boxing Organization Oriental Heavyweight Title Bout
- Joseph Parker, ranked eighth in the world on BoxRec, goes to 20-0 with seventeen knockouts, with this win.
- Solomon Haumono, with both eyes swollen, went down in the fourth round from a Parker left jab and right uppercut combination for the ten count. Upon rising he indicated to referee Bruce McTavish he did not to continue. Haumono's corner appealed the outcome, claiming he arose at the count of eight.[[1]]
- Watching video of the fight it appears to some, including the commentators, that Haumono received a quick count.
- Parker became the mandatory IBF world title opponent for Anthony Joshua with this win.
