Where next?
What next for Blueface? Will he carry on in this game?
Will he have a fight on the Misfits cards or stay on Kingpyn?
And who is his opponent next? Ed Matthews rematch must be close to the top of the list.
A lot of possibilities and options for the rapper in this emerging influencer world of boxing.
Still to come

Size matters
You have to think that Blueface’s size made all the difference there.
He looked massive against his opponent. It looked like a game on Tekken for a while.
What a game that was, by the way.
Battle royal
Surely we’ll see a rematch of that one?
We have to right?
They might need some more ‘wildcard’ bouts on the Dublin card in June.

But the rapper got himself out of there and turned the tables.
