Kenny says
“We put in so much hard work. But I want to thank God for helping through me camp physically and mentally. Thank you to Whindersson for giving me this opportunity and thank you to Brazil for coming out tonight, you’ve got amazing energy.
“I had my jab so easy and clean from round one. I was able to work everything off that. It wasn’t easy, he kept coming forward like the Terminator and was eating my punches.”

Round 5
It’s over. Whindersson has been put out of his misery.
Kenny has literally toyed with him for five rounds. A quite stunning performance.
The judges will make it official…
Round 4
This is nothing more than a sparring session for Kenny at the moment.
He’s picking his shots and landing at will. Combinations, flurries, hooks, jabs. It’s all there for Kenny at the moment.
The crowd is silenced. Whindersson is trying everything and is having no joy.
One more round and it would have to be something very dramatic for Kenny not to win this.
Round 3
Whindersson trying his hardest to get into this fight, but he just can’t get near Kenny.
The Watford man is in complete control and wins another round.
Kenny might be wearing Brazil colours, but his teammates are lapping it up in Argentina football shirts and a replica World Cup.
Round 2
What a massive round for Kenny and Whindersson seemingly has no answers.
Kenny is walking him down and dominating.
The fans are trying to lift the Brazilian, but this is one way traffic.
Whindersson down!
Whindersson is down! HUGE left hook!
So much for Kenny showboating but not hurting in round one.
Well he’s on fire here in round two and looking to finish Whindersson.
He and his fans are stunned.
Round 1
Kenny puts on a show in round one.
Not sure how much he impacted or hurt Nunes really, but he certainly showed his showboating and flashiness.
Round one to Kenny for sure with his slick boxing on the outside. Whindersson yet to get going.
Seconds out
The formalities are over, the fighters have had their final instructions.
We’re ready to roll in the main event of the evening.
Electric atmosphere in Dublin.
What an entrance
The roof just came off this place as Whindersson made his entrance.
Incredible noise in the arena. He rapped along to the words as well.
We’re all set for a cracker.
Here we go
King Kenny is on his way to the ring, playing Brazilian music and wearing the Brazil colours on his robe.
He knows exactly what he’s doing in front of a pro-Brazilian crowd cheering on Whindersson.
Main event
Who will AnEson Gib face in the Kingpyn High Stakes tournament final?
We’ll find out very shortly with Whindersson and Kenny set to make their way to the ring.
Gib says
“I have all respect for Jarvis. Kenny, Whindersson I’m coming for you. Whoever wins I’ll see you in the final.
“People said I was underestimating him but he’s nothing I didn’t know. I smoked him for five rounds.”
Gib wins!
It’s comprehensive and unanimous. AnEson Gib is into the final of the Kingpyn tournament.
Very impressive.
Round 5
And it’s over. We go to the scorecards.
Gib looks the happier man and for good reason. He took control of that bout in the second half.
We’ll see how the judges saw it in just a second.
Round 4
Gib really stamping his authority now. He’s in the ascendancy here and Jarvis is getting left behind.
He’s being pushed back and worn down. One round to go and it looks like Jarvis needs to win it, if not get a knockdown.
Round 3
Gib with some brilliant combinations that catch the eye and get a roar from the crowd in round three.
It’s good, but it’s few and far between. Jarvis hanging in with him through the rounds other than for a few Gib clashes.
Round 2
Jarvis begins round two how he started round one and does a better job of maintaining his flow.
A much better showing from him and a close round. Very tough to score.
Cagey so far. Not many big shots thrown or landed.
Round 1
Gib finishes the round very strong. He probably does enough to steal it.
Jarvis started very well but seemed to lose his way and his timing deserved him as the round went on.
Gib grew into it and was boxing very well towards the end of it.
Seconds out
Gib vs Jarvis is underway in Dublin. The co-main event and first men’s semifinal.
A lot of this crowd are awaiting their Brazilian hero in the main event – Whindersson Nunes.
Here we go then…
Jarvis is on his way to the ring with Living on a Prayer playing at the 3 Arena.
The first semifinal just moments away.
Fury time?
Crosbie has called out Tommy Fury after that impressive win.
He said: “Step in here with me you little B*tch and I’ll slap the head off ya!”
Fury is closing in on a fight against KSI, but this one would certainly be interesting.
It’s unanimous
Kiefer Crosbie wins! 50-45 on two cards and 48-45 on the other.
Not sure what the 48-45 score was about but it’s a unanimous win and deservedly so.
Round 5
It’s over. The fighters put the bad blood behind them and hug in the ring.
We go to the scorecards but this one is surely going to Crosbie, even if he didn’t have a knockdown.
Disappointing night for Chalmers, especially after getting in the ring with Floyd Mayweather last time out.
But we wait for the scorecards.
