For Misfits it’s a trip to New Orleans on April 21.
And we have a main event just announced for that card.
It’s a boxing return for former NFL running-back Le’Veon Bell.
Chant of the night
Even Jay Swingler broke out into this.
“I would rather have a dark fruits than a wife.”
For those that don’t know. A dark fruits is a flavoured cider drink that is popular in parts of England… clearly here.
Nichlmao says
“Thank you Telford. Win or lose it wasn’t about that.
“You made our dreams come true. Thanks to Telford, to Jay, to Misfits, KSI and everyone so much.”
Swingler says
“He’s a tough cookie. He’s been training.
“Everybody was saying I was going to walk all over this guy but they were wrong and Nick proved everyone wrong.
“This man is a warrior.”

Swingler got it 39-36, 39-37 on two of the cards while the third was a 38-38 draw.
That was close, but the home crowd and his better conditioning seemed to get Swingler through.
Credit to Nichlmao. That decision could’ve gone either way.
Swingler wins!
Telford International Centre goes mad.
It’s a majority decision.
Nervous wait
Swingler is up on the ropes to celebrate.
Nichlmao gets a few more cheers for his efforts there than he got entering the ring.
Telford holds it’s breath.
Final bell
What a round. What a battle. What a fight.
I give Jay that final round – but will it be enough?
We go to the scorecards.
Here we go
The fighters touch gloves for the fourth and final round.
This is anyone’s fight still.
Third round
This must be driving Swingler crazy.
His opponent looks like he’s stumbling around the ropes but every time Swingler goes in for a shot he’s met with three or four good ones and forced to cover up.
This is so tough to score – but I think Swingler needs the final round more than Nichlmao.
Brutal fight so far.
Round two
Swingler is landing and it’s getting huge roars – but Nichlmao is coming straight back forcing the home fighter to cover up.
If anything it looks like Nichlmao is struggling with the pace a bit more than his opponent.
Jay might tough this one out. He’s going to need all his stamina and home support in the final two rounds.
What a round
Swingler starts it like a house on fire and chants of ‘Telford, Telford’ go up around the arena.
But Nichlmao comes firing back and embraces the challenge. He has Jay rocked momentarilty.
An excellent opening round I probably give to Nichlmao.
Final instructions
The fighters meet in the middle of the ring one final time for the final instructions.
The Telford International Centre is rocking. I didn’t even know this place existed, but it’s absolutely buzzing in here.
The hometown hero
I think we just got a louder cheer from the crowd than for the tag team match.
Swingler comes out to ‘Highway to Hell’ in front of his home crowd.
He skips into the ring and laps up the cheers.
Telford is pumped for this.
Here we go…
It’s main event time.
First up here comes Nichlmao.
Next up
A huge roar from the Telford crowd as it’s announced that local boy Jay Swingler will be coming up next in the main event.
He’s from this part of the world, so can bank on home support against Nichlmao.
Plenty to say
Deen the Great says “Walid only s**t because of his sister.”
He also adds that Adam Saleh has ducked a bout three times.
I think Deen has plenty of options on who to fight next, to say the least.

Deen confirms he was carrying an injury.
He dislocated his shoulder five weeks ago and it came out again in sparring three weeks ago.
He added that he put the tape on both shoulders so his opponent wouldn’t know which one.
It’s unanimous!
It’s a 40-35 decision on all three cards for Deen.
He won every round according to the judges and the knockdown was the cherry on top.
To the scorecards
It’s over. Both men think they’ve won it but I think the knockdown will be the key factor here and Deen will get the decision.
Another close battle on this packed card.
Tug of war
Deen is rocked now!
Pully lands a huge blow and is giving it everything to try and steal this in the final round.
Survival
Pully makes it to the end of the round and stumbles back to his corner.
Deen tried to finish it there and then but couldn’t land the killer blow.
We go into a fourth and final round.
Pully is down!
A massive right hand from Deen leaves him in a heap.
Pully takes his time to get up but the fight goes on.
Neck and neck
This is too close to call.
Really good work being done by both fighters. Deen’s corner got excited at a combination he threw that seemed to back Pully up.
Maybe that was just to get the judges’ attention.
Tough sledding
Not much to separate them in the opening round.
And fortunately it looks like Deen isn’t nursing any kind of injury and the tape is just to help.
