Until next time!
DUBOIS REACTION
“It has been a rough ride and I am glad to be back, I did have some things flashing through my mind but I just concentrated on what Shane said.
“My sister just qualified for the Olympics, this is just the start for her, she has to go and get the gold now and I am back with a belt as well.
“I want to take things easy with Shane and then we will get there.
“They can bring me whoever they want next. I want to clear the Joyce fight up and get the rerun, but I want to be the best I can be.”
DYNAMITE
Here is how Daniel Dubois knocked out Bogdan Dinu in the second round.
SHANE McGUIGAN REACTION
“Hes only 23 years of age, hes young, he’s obviously suffered a little loss.
“He needs to go back and rebuild.
“I think he put on a fantastic performance, give us six months to a year.”
McGuigan then declared that he believes Dubois can go no and beat any heavyweight in the world in the future.
He added: “I’ve never felt power like it on the pads.”
ROUND TWO
INCREDIBLE! DUBOIS WINS BY KNCOKOUT!
Dinu fails to beat the count after Dubois landed a huge right hand.
The Londoner landed flush on the Romanian’s chin, which sent him sprawling across the canvas.
And he didn’t even both in trying to get to his feet.
What a KO from Dubois, but we know he carries that power.
ROUND ONE
A strong start for Dubois who is forcing Dinu on the backfoot.
Dubois is looking to throw the power punches, with Dinu looking to counter with a right hook.
But trainer McGuigan will be happy with what he’s seen so far.
HERE WE GO
The fighters are making their way to the ring.
A reminder that the WBA interim heavyweight title is on the line.
DAN THE MAN
Not long now until the main event where Daniel Dubois is looking to get back to winning ways.
The Londoner faces Bogdan Dinu is his first bout since his defeat to Joe Joyce.
And with new trainer Shane McGuigan besides him, Dubois is looking to make an impression.
BODY BLOW
Here’s how Heaney secured his stoppage victory.
HITMAN HEANEY
It was a great performance from Heaney who moves to 12-0.

ROUND THREE
IT’S OVER! HEANEY WINS BY KNOCKOUT!
Heaney’s body shots proved to be too much, as a right hook to the body sent Markov crashing to the canvas.
And he failed to beat the count.
A very impressive display from the 32-year-old.
ROUND TWO
Heaney is starting to unload as he looks to let his right hand go.
A body shot causes Markov to wince as he returns with a left hook.
But the body shots are having a huge effect as he takes a deep breath when walking back to his corner.
Big signs that Heaney is already wearing his Bulgarian opponent down.
HEANEY vs MARKOV – ROUND ONE
The opening round goes to Heaney who fails to get carried away by his fans cheering him on.
He keeps Markov at bay with his jab, and shows he is a superior boxer.
His quick hands already look to be marking up Markov’s face.
TOO FAST TOO FURIOUS
Here is what Fury has to say after his win.
HERE WE GO
Heaney comes into this middleweight dust-up having wo n all 11 of his fights.
Meanwhile Markov boasts a record of 6-14-2 and has lost his last two outings inside the ring.
Markov has fought eight times in the UK and has lost on each occasion.
NATHAN HEANEY vs ILIYAN MARKOV
The roof at the Telford international centre is about to come off.
Six hundred sun and beer-soaked Stokies have made the trip down to watch the local hero in middleweight action.
Markov is in for something special in a few minutes, when the wild entrance happens, poor little fella
TOMMY ON JAKE
And here is what Tommy Fury had to say on Jake Paul.
“I’m ready, whenever.
“Come and get it. Listen I’m a Fury, it’s in my f*****g blood. If you want it, come and get it.”
JOHN FURY REACTION
Here’s what John Fury had to say on his son Tommy potentially fighting Jake Paul.
“Good on Jake Paul, doing what he’s doing. Good luck to the kid, he’s game enough to get in the ring. Any man who gets in there is a game man.
“But listen, it’s a big difference coming from no crowd to a big crowd.
“It’s a first night out for them, they are very noisy. It’s brand new again for him.
“But Jake Paul, we’ll have you next mate! If you think he’s no good, we’ll take Jake Paul next. Tyson’s undercard, 24th July. Jake Paul.”
Though that fight won’t take place on July 24 as Paul is facing Tyrone Woodley in August.
FURY REACTION
Tommy Fury – and his dad John – called out Jake Paul after the bout.
And the light-heavyweight declared he learned more in his fight with Grant than in any of his previous five outings.
TNT then insisted that his career is a marathon and not a sprint, and won’t be rushed.
FURY WINS
Tommy Fury makes is 6-0 after winning on judges scores of 40-36.
Though he didn’t get the stoppage, Fury impressed with his boxing skills and ring IQ.
ROUND FOUR
A solid closing round from Grant who put the pressure on knowing he needed a knockout to win.
And even though he caught Fury and caused him problems, he was unable to land the decisive blow.
Without a doubt Fury’s hardest fight of his career so far.
ROUND THREE
Another solid round from Fury who lands a number of clean uppercuts.
Grant is still catching Fury, but his punches semm to have no effect at Tyson’s brother stalks his opponent around the ring.
Fury is three rounds up.
ROUND TWO
A much better round from Fury who deals with Grant’s aggressive style.
His jab constantly off put Grant’s rhythm and the 23-year-old’s face is marked up.
Grant was unable to close the distance on Fury who was more than happy to box at range.
Fury winning this fight with just two rounds left.
ROUND ONE
A solid opening round for Scotsman Grant who starts quick and forced Fury on the backfoot.
Fury landed the neater punches on the inside, but Grant has shown he is up for the challenge.
Not an opening round the fans were expecting to see.
TOMMY FURY VS JORDAN GRANT
Here we go!
Both light-heavyweights are making their way to the ring.
Expect Fury to call out Jake Paul should he emerge victorious.
Fury is 5-0 inside the squared circle, while Grant has won both of his bouts.
