JAY SWINGLER returned to the ring in style as he delivered a brutal knockout to Cherdleys – and it didn’t take long.
Swingler delivered a few body shots on Cherdleys before landing the ultimate left hook in with just 50 seconds gone.
Meanwhile, JMX marginally defeated Ginty in a mouth-watering contest which saw both opponents hit the canvas.
And Astrid Wett forced Keeley to throw in the towel just before round two as the social media star couldn’t take anymore.

Wett wants another fight
Astrid Wett showed she was fierce in the ring by defeating nemesis Keeley.
Now, she’s setting her sights on another opponent.
Elle Brooke, you have been summoned.
KSI keeping schtum
KSI has dropped a huge bombshell about his next fight.
But he won’t tell us who he is fighting.
“The guy I am fighting is very tough” he’s just said during DAZN’s coverage.
“And people will be very excited.”
Make it Jake Paul! Please…
Swingler ends it early
Was this the knockout of the night?
Cherdleys might like to think so.
Devastating Swingler
That was impressive.
Jay Swingler demolished Cherdleys in the first round.
And now he’s promised to take his mum to Starbucks.
Explosive
Well, that shut Cherdleys up.
Big right hands from Swingler ended this contest.
He set it up with a jab, before a fierce right hand floored Cherdleys.
Eyes glazed, maybe he won’t be getting that flight after all.
Goodnight!
Wow!
Cherdleys is knocked out!
Cherdleys is fighting
Who knew?
Cherdleys has got a bit of a fighting style about him.
But Swingler’s punches are wayyyy stronger.
Jay has him knocked down already.
Rock and roll
Swingler marches into AC DC’s Highway to Hell.
It’s a carnival atmosphere here – and both fighters love it.
Four rounds, three minutes, here we go.
What have you got, gents?
It’s time!
Making his way to the ring first is Cherdleys.
His posse, a Wall Street meets Peaky Blinders gang of misfits, follows him and his red mane.
They’re holding his robe which seems to have a wedding train attached to it.
Swingler done with the talking
Jay Swingler is “going in for the kill”.
“You’re going to get hurt and I don’t see you flying home to LA tomorrow,” he says in his pre-fight interview.
He also gives a hilarious shout out to his mum.
Anyone else fear for Cherdleys? I do.
Cherdley rumour
Ooh is KSI stirring the pot.
The YouTuber/rapper/boxer has said he’s heard a rumour that Cherdleys has been working for years on his MMA skills.
Either way, Cherdleys seems a little on edge in his pre-fight interview. And he’s found time to dye his hair red before the bout.
It’s the main event next
Swingler v Cherdleys.
It’s here, it’s next, and it will be riveting.
It might struggle to live up to the last fight, mind.
Slim pays respect
Slim was surprised by Taylor in that one.
“Much better than I expected,” he said of the BMXer.
“He was gushing blood, and he was still rushing forward.”
He added: “He’s a tough motherf***er!” Yes, sir.
Slim chance
Slim wins.
He now moves to 5-0. He’s also been calling out KSI for some time.
They all want a piece, don’t they?
It took a while
After a round of applause for the co-main event, we have the results from the judges.
Winner by unanimous decision is slim – with the scores at 40-36, 40-35, 40-35.
For the first time Slim was taken to a decision. Taylor was tough, man.
Battle royale
It was the battle that was promised and we’ve gone to the judges.
What will they score?
Well, it’ll be a shock if it’s anything other than a Slim win. But Taylor was decent.
Iron man
Can we have a word for Taylor’s chin?
He’s just taken another massive blow from Slim – and he’s still standing.
Fragments of his nose must be decorating the ring canvas though by now.
And we’re in the final round
How is this going to play out?
Taylor will need a knockout. Slim wants a knockout, which is how he won all four of his other fights.
No doubt Taylor’s nose is broken.
Slim’s calmed down
He is tired, but Slim is having a good time in the ring.
A wink to the commentators suggest so, anyway.
You have to admire the stamina of these two lads – they’ve provided terrific entertainment.
Slim, seemingly, is waiting for his moment for the KO.
Round three
Not sure this is a good idea.
How on earth these two will me another round is beyond me. But here we go.
Slim is winning this fight, but Taylor’s plucky spirit is to be admired.
Nooo!
Taylor has Slim wobbling.
They’re both trading blows. It’s fierce, it’s the fight of the night, it’s everything we wanted.
Slim is covered in blood. Not sure if it’s his, or Taylor’s.
Goodness me.
It’s a war
Bloods pouring out of Taylor’s nose and mouth.
And he’s fuming. We have a break in proceedings in round two as the ref wipes him down.
Slim isn’t having it his own way.
He’s hurt
Taylor is down.
He’s got blood pouring out his snout after a HUGE knockdown by Slim.
Ouch.
Wild swing
Taylor rushes in with a wild swing at the end of round one.
Slim dominated the round with the jab, Taylor loved holding and pushing his opponent around.
Round two here we come.
Shake hands!
Or not. Taylor didn’t fancy it.
Went in with one hand and the ref demanded two.
We get it on eventually. Slim looks lively. He’s certainly well skilled in that ring. And bouncy.
Taylor is holding his guard up high.
