Khan do attitude
Amir Khan was in attendance in Dubai but still cheered on England.
The Three Lions progressed into the Euro 2024 semi-finals after a penalty shootout win over Switzerland.
Rozik wanted six rounds
There was huge controversy at the end of the fight with BOTH fighter’s hands raised.
Erali got the better of Abdu Rozik for the first round before the social medai standout got back into it.
Rozik said after he was preparing for six rounds and he was getting punched in the back of his head.
It’s all over
In the headliner, Shero Amara has been stopped by Movlogs.
Astonishingly, Amara’s corner has walked out on him after his one-sided loss.
About sums up the evening.
Here’s what Rozik said
The social media star fumed: “He was just punching in the back of my head. He hit zero. Also I need six rounds. I wanted six rounds.
“He has to pay me, because why am I making him famous? I don’t want to do nothing to make him famous.
“He has to pay me for making him famous!”
Moving on…
After that thriller, we move onto the night’s main-event which is Shero Amara will face Movlogs for some kind of belt.
Movlogs has actually been pictured training with Andrew Tate before – meaning he’s bound to have gained some internet fans from that.
Rematch?
Boyqobilov has called for a rematch and vowed to KO Rozik next time.
Rozik is unhappy with the amount of punches to the back of the head and is left unhappy it was only six rounds.
Rozik vs Boyqobilov
Rozik is fuming and starts putting him thumbs down to the crowd.
Boyqobilov meanwhile is lifted aloft despite no winner officially being announced.
Rozik vs Boyqobilov
Round 4 – Boyqobilov opens the round by dancing, he’s enjoyed himself in there.
Rozik is going for it in the fourth and final round but surely it’s too little too late.
The fight goes the distance and safe to say it was one-way traffic from Boyqobilov.
Rozik vs Boyqobilov
Round 3 – Boyqobilov is letting his hands go and Rozik is struggling to keep up.
Rather impressive performance from Boyqobilov as he lets his shots go in combinations.
Rozik has one round left after losing the opening three.
Rozik vs Boyqobilov
Round 2 – Rozik is on the ground but it comes from a slip after Boyqobilov comes out swinging.
Boyqobilov is really letting his hands go and Rozik has little answer to what is coming his way.
Another big round for Boyqobilov, who is running away with it.
Rozik vs Boyqobilov
Round 1 – Ferocious back-and-forth from the two with Boyqobilov getting the better of the two.
He let his hands go with combinations and even had the confidence to showboat.
Rozik came into it more towards the end of the round after a slow start.
Here is how they shape up
People’s main-event
Abdu Rozik is in the ring and ready to make his boxing debut.
This has been a long time coming and his loyal fanbase have been waiting for him to enter the ring.
Paul for it
Till angrily calls out Jake Paul and Tommy Fury after his weird win.
He roared: “There’s people I do want to fight, Jake Paul, Tommy Fury, Mike Perry. They’re all scared cowards.
“They do not want to fight me, I promise you. I will f***ing decapitate them.”
Till speaks out
The ex-UFC title challenger apologises to the crowd and speaks out on the brawl.
He said: “It’s just fighting, you get hit. If you don’t want to continue fighting, don’t be a fighter. He’s not a fighter.
“He’s not a real fighter, he’s a coward. Guys, I’m so sorry I am not that guy. I’m a respectful guy.”
Darren Till vs Moh Mutie
So after all of that, Till has been announced as the winner by TKO.
Promoter Tam Khan apologises in the ring for the “unacceptable” behaviour in the crowd.
BRAWL KICKING OFF
It’s kicking off in the ring.
Mutie exchanges words with Till and then a huge brawl breaks out in the ring.
Both end up on the floor as their teams get involved in the ugly scenes.
Till next time
Mutie is still on the ground.
Upon replay, the back of the head shot looked very minimal and he’s very much made the most of this.
All over
Here is the alleged back of the head shot that was so brutal that Mutie was unable to carry on.
Let’s see how the fight is officially called…
Darren Till vs Moh Mutie
Round 2 – Better work from Till as he finally lets his punches go.
Mutie is starting to hold on a little, looking tired as Till begins to take control.
And just like that, the fight is over! Mutie complains of a rabbit punch and refuses to fight on.
Darren Till vs Moh Mutie
Round 1 – Very conservative start for Till, despite his limited opposition.
Till is the aggressor but not doing all that much, looking a little gun-shy.
Only four rounds over two minutes so the MMA star needs to get going.
Here he comes
OK, Till is walking to the ring.
Slightly confusing as his music was playing but he was nowhere to be seen.
Here comes Till’s boxing debut.
How long Till?
Confusion as Darren Till does not appear to be making the walk to the ring?
His opponent Mutie walked out in a gorilla costume – a nod to Till’s nickname.
KS-lie?
KSI’s manager Mams Taylor hit back: “We offered him the fight. He ghosted.
“(Hopefully I don’t have to show receipts and get called unprofessional because I do have receipts).
“Then his team got back in touch and we are literally working on the fight for later in the year. Why do people have to make s*** up.”
Amir for it
Khan has claimed KSI’s team went cold on the potential fight.
He said: “I mean, looks there’s talks about KSI and obviously no disrespect to all these YouTubers or these influencers but I think they’re all a pile of s***.
“I think it would be a big mismatch. Its funny because when they announced they want the fight they thought I’d stay quiet but I said, ‘Yeah, no problem, I’ll take the fight.’
“And then his team have just gone quiet. Sometimes it’s good to give these guys a good little beating because they talk more than they can chew.”
