    Hrgovic has caught Dubois with two big right hands on the temple.
    On each occasion it rocks the British boxer.
    He absorbs the hits and returns one himself which catches the Croatian in the face.
    Somehow, you cannot see this one going twelve rounds.

    As the two fighters line up in the middle of the ring, we are underway.
    This is set up for a real heavyweight clash.
    It is Croatia versus Britain.

    Next up we have a heavyweight bout.
    If Dubois wins this one, so does Frank Warren and his £3m bet with Eddie Hearn.
    This also offers a huge chance for both of these fighters to further their careers with a chance to fight Anthony Joshua on the line.

    Bivol is keeping that stout defence up and running.
    Zinad lands his best punch of the fight in the round but cannot follow it up to put his opponent in trouble.
    He is managing to frustrate Bivol who would have wanted to put this to bed by now.
    Copy linkCopiedDmitry Bivol vs Malik Zinad (Round 4)
    Zinad has managed to come back into the fight now after being put down in the first.
    This has turned into quite an even fight.
    Bivol looks solid but has taken his foot off the gas a bit now.
    Copy linkCopiedDmitry Bivol vs Malik Zinad (Round 3)
    Bivol’s defence is so solid, Zinad is struggling to get punches through.
    He is boxing behind his guard and getting some big hits off.
    The champion is often coaxing his opponent into the corner and spraying him with big shots.
    Copy linkCopiedDmitry Bivol vs Malik Zinad (Round 2)
    This is a real slugfest between the pair.
    Some hard hits are landing on both boxers.
    Bivol catches Zinad well on the nose, causing it to bleed.
    The champion looks like someone who was preparing for some time for this evening’s fight.
    Copy linkCopiedDmitry Bivol vs Malik Zinad (Round 1)
    Both fighters let loose from the off.
    Zinad makes a good start but is dropped by a left from Bivol.
    Both fighters are getting punches through the defence and landing some good headshots.

    He could make a real name for himself here.

    Williams has Sheeraz up against the ropes and the British boxer hits the American with a barrage of punches to send him across the ring.
    As Hamzah continues to throw punches, the referee steps in to stop the fight as he feels Williams has had enough.
    Two points for the win for Sheeraz, which are doubled due to him being the captain of the Queensbury team.

    Copy linkCopiedAustin Williams vs Hamzah Sheeraz (Round 10)
    Sheeraz has a big round and almost puts the icing on the cake at the end of it.
    Williams finds some more fuel in the tank and comes at the British boxer but a whipped right hand from Sheeraz sends the American to the canvas.
    He manages to get back to his feet just before the ten count is relieved, as is Eddie Hearn, to hear the bell to he can return to his corner.
    Copy linkCopiedAustin Williams vs Hamzah Sheeraz (Round 9)
    Great start to the round from Austin Williams.
    He comes out of his corner and fires of a flurry of punches to the body of Hamzah Sheeraz.
    Sheeraz is bozing smart and when he comes onto him, he is hitting Williams with some well-timed big shots.
    Despite all his best efforts, at the end of the round, Williams sits in his corner with blood streaming from his mouth.
    Copy linkCopiedAustin Williams vs Hamzah Sheeraz (Round 8)
    Williams is trying everything in his locker to open up the defence of Sheeraz.
    The English boxer catches him with a sweet uppercut which Frank Warren seemed to enjoy.
    Austin Williams right eye is almost completely closed now, he is finiding it impossible to avoid that left jab of Hamzah Sheeraz.
    Copy linkCopiedAustin Williams vs Hamzah Sheeraz (Round 7)
    Williams is getting more desperate at the fight goes on.
    When it gets to this stage of the fight, knowing a knockdown is needed to win it, the haymakers come out to play.
    Sheeraz continues with his strong jab and is coming through with some lovely counter combos which his opponent is feeling.

    Copy linkCopiedAustin Williams vs Hamzah Sheeraz (Round 6)
    The constant left jabs from Sheeraz are causing Williams’ right eye to close up now.
    Sheeraz is following up those left jabs with some big right hands and is slowly taking his game up a few gears.
    Unless he can turn this fight on its head, you wonder if a stoppage is just around the corner in what has become somewhat of a one-sided fight.
    Copy linkCopiedAustin Williams vs Hamzah Sheeraz (Round 5)
    Williams is really struggling to find an answer to Sheeraz’s jab.
    He is using it well to keep his opponent away from him and make him resort to some wild swings.
    You have to wonder how Austin Williams is going to get close enough to land some of these hits.
    Copy linkCopiedAustin Williams vs Hamzah Sheeraz (Round 4)
    Sheeraz looks to keep attacking behind his jab from the centre of the ring and lands some big hits.
    The height difference is a problem for Williams as he cannot get close when he wants to but manages to land some good hits himself.
    Sheeraz is edging this fight but has already seen what Williams is capable of if he lets his guard down.
    Copy linkCopiedAustin Williams vs Hamzah Sheeraz (Round 3)
    What a great comeback from Sheeraz.
    He was genuinely rocked in the previous round but comes out from his corner to dominate the third round.
    Sheeraz lands some big blows which most certainly have hurt Williams and put him back in the driving seat in this fight.
    Copy linkCopiedAustin Williams vs Hamzah Sheeraz (Round 2)
    Williams catches Sheeraz with a flush hit and it rocks the Englishman.
    Austin Williams looks to follow it up with some more big hits but Sheeraz tries to regather himself in the centre of the ring.
    The bell cannnot come soon enough for him but the Matchroom man definitely took that round.
    Copy linkCopiedAustin Williams vs Hamzah Sheeraz (Round 1)
    Williams is struggling to work Sheeraz out in the early stages.
    He is trying to come in from the side to land some punches.
    Hamzah is landing the far more telling punches and eases the first.
