Joseph Parker's attempts to get a neutral referee for his WBO world heavyweight title defence against Hughie Fury have failed with British officials standing by their local appointment.

Parker backers Duco Events have angrily protested the choice of British referee Terry O'Connor to be the man in the middle in Manchester in September 24, with O'Connor having officiated Fury's last two fights.

Britain's Fury and Parker clash in Manchester on September 24.

The British Boxing Board of Control (BBBoC) has appointed British referee Terry O'Connor - the same official in charge of Hughie Fury's last two bouts - to control the fight.

"We're frankly appalled by this. We have petitioned the BBBoC multiple times to see sense, but to no avail. Serious questions need to be asked of the BBBoC," Duco Events director David Higgins said on Thursday.

He replaces Philip Hammond, who becomes chancellor. Ex-Energy Secretary Amber Rudd is home secretary and Eurosceptic David Davis is the Brexit secretary.

Ex-chancellor George Osborne was fired, the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg said.

On arriving at Downing Street, Mrs May vowed to lead a government that works for all, not just the "privileged few".

The UK's second female prime minister promised to give people who were "just managing" and "working around the clock" more control over their lives.
