USYK VS CHISORA
Round 1
Like we expected, Chisora bum-rushing Usyk straight away, trying to make it difficult as possible in there for him.
Chisora tries an overhand right but Usyk blocks and moves away. Chisora trying to make it rough and tough for the Ukranian.
This is exactly the sort of start Del Boy wanted.
Usyk just working things out, backing up and downloading all that data, as they like to say. Usyk lands a nice left at the end of the round.
Fun first round.

‘SHOOTOUT’
Chisora said: “People tell me that I hold the key to the rich and famous! You shall not pass! He will try to box. I can’t box. It will be a shoot-out.
“When I hit him, he’ll be hit, there is nowhere to hide. I need a fair referee. I want this fight to be fair.
“I don’t want to be dancing or wrestling. I want both of us to work fairly.
“I have to keep marching forwards. He will try to wrong-foot me but I’m ready. People will be surprised.”
USYK VS CHISORA IS NEXT!
KAMBOSOS JR BEATS LEE SELBY!
We have scores of 118-110, 115-114, 116-112 for the Australian, who is now Teofimo Lopez’s mandatory challenger!
SELBY VS KAMBOSOS JR
Round 12
Cracking final round! Both fighters give it everything they’ve got but like we’ve seen all night, Kambosos, to me, comes out on top.
He lands a brilliant right hand on Selby at the two-minute mark but the Welshman takes it.
Kambosos has all the confidence in the world as the final moments of the round approach.
He ducks a couple of punches before landing an uppercut of his own. Selby then hits Kambosos on the back of the head out of frustration.
The Aussie fighter finishes strongly, though. Decent fight.
116-112 Kambosos for me.
SELBY VS KAMBOSOS JR
Round 11
Selby with a better round . I’ve got this 7-4 to Kambosos, though.
Kambosos still pushing the action but wasn’t as effective in the 11th. Selby landed some decent, crisp shots up close and made Kambosos think about a few things.
He closes the round decently, however, but lands a left hook on Selby’s gloves.
Selby comes back with some in-fighting of his own. Last round coming up!
SELBY VS KAMBOSOS JR
Round 10
A little bit more purpose in this round from Lee Selby, who looks lighter on his feet too.
Kambosos slow to begin the round but he picks the pace up against mid-round. He’s putting on a good performance so far and continues by digging to the body again.
Kambosos then throws a nice right hand, which lands. Selby just not doing enough in an effective way so far.
Nice left hand from Selby to end the round.
SELBY VS KAMBOSOS JR
Round 9
Another decent round from Kambosos as Selby continues to try and box off the back foot.
Kambosos digs a nice right hand to the body before hitting the Welshman with a nice left hook to the chin.
The away man does the same with a right hand toward the end of the round, which he won for me.
6-3.
SELBY VS KAMBOSOS JR
Round 8
Selby trying to get on the front foot to start the round but he’s not landed too clean in this round as of yet.
He does get a sweet left hook in but Kambosos comes back with a big punch of his own.
He felt that one, alright.
5-3 Kambosos for me. Good hand speed and sharp on his counters so far.
SELBY VS KAMBOSOS JR
Round 7
Good round from Kambosos this time. Getting Selby, who’s still boxing from the outside, against the ropes.
This is still seriously tough to score with two boxers effectively fighting different fights. It all depends on what the judges like best.
It’s definitely a well-matched bout. I’d give this one to the Australian.
4-3 to Kambosos, who lands some nice punches to the body to close the round.
SELBY VS KAMBOSOS JR
Round 6
Good round from Selby, doubling up on his jab, looking a little more relaxed in there.
Kambosos should try and force the pace here because this isn’t the way to win a fight away from home at the moment.
He was better in the first couple of rounds but he’s slowed down a tad since then.
Lee Selby looking like the former world champion in there… nothing too special but just enough to keep Kambosos honest.
SELBY VS KAMBOSOS JR
Round 5
Selby tries a few shots but he’s a little out of range to start things off – perhaps aware of what Kambosos can produce up close.
Welshman trying his best to frustrate Kambosos and is having a better round as the middle of the three minutes approaches.
Kambosos throwing shots but landing on Selby’s gloves.
Selby with some neat footwork showing a lot of experience in there.
Close fight, it really is, I’ve got Kambosos 3-2 up.
SELBY VS KAMBOSOS JR
Round 4
Kambosos finished round three strongly, I’d make it 2-1 to the away fighter so far.
Selby trying to box his way into winning these rounds but Kambosos keeps coming forward, undeterred by what’s coming back at him.
Tough rounds to score so far but you’ve got to think the judges will be favouring the home fighter.
Kambosos landing a nice right hand to finish the round but Selby comes back with jabs of his own.
SELBY VS KAMBOSOS JR
Round 3
Kambosos still the aggressor as Lee Selby tries to steal these early rounds without exerting too much energy.
Selby eats a one-two from the Australian toward the end of the round. Decent round from Kambosos, who looks really up for this.
Selby is smart, though, and has been 12 rounds many times before.
Setting up to be an intriguing one, this.
SELBY VS KAMBOSOS JR
Round 2
Better round from Kambosos but Selby still looking pretty calm and collected in there so far.
The Welshman still trying to get his jab going but he’s a little short with a few attempts.
Kambosos also trying to work things out but you get the sense he could probably trouble his opponent by being a little bit rougher in there.
Very close round, could go either way. 1-1 I’ll put that down as.
SELBY VS KAMBOSOS JR
Round 1
Feeling out process for both fighters but Kambosos definitely the aggressor to start things off.
Selby just working things out, trying to establish his jab. Selby looking like the much bigger man in there.
Kambosos catches Selby with a nice left-hook in the final minute but Selby with the cleaner work so far.
I’ve got it 1-0 to the former IBF world featherweight champion.
SELBY VS KAMBOSOS JR
Here we go!
