Video highlights: Joseph Parker knocks out Daniel Martz in round one - Fight for Life

Kiwi heavyweight Joseph Parker has cruised to his 17th consecutive win, this time a brutal knock out of Daniel Martz in round one at the Fight for Life in Hamilton.

Parker's night was predictably brief, the American slugger given minimal chance by public and punters and the gulf in class between the fighters was glaring from the outset.

After finding his range with the left hook, Parker planted a rugged left to the body and came over the top with a power-house right hand right behind the ear of Martz, sending the towering American to the canvas with a thud.

Martz attempted to answer the referee's count but wasn't able to do so, handing Parker his 15th win by knock out.
