What a wonderful night of boxing on both DAZN and Sky Sports. Great to see British boxing thriving and another World champion from this tiny island. That’s boxing. The Walks way.

Hutchinson for me. Buatsi with a spirited rally but too late.

Been a very good year at the gate, mate. Stop finding negatives and just enjoy the shows.
Two decent shows in the UK tonight and both are absolutely empty. Not a good sign.

Young Hutchinson will be stunned how easy this is.

Rafferty deserved that, but such a shame there had to be a loser. Superb effort and guts from both men.

You’re watching one now, mate.
What was the last regular DAZN card that had a really good co-main? Honestly asking.

Rafferty and Martirosyan are leaving everything in there. That’s a very special round ten.

That’s an emphatic statement from young Bradley Rea.

Powar and Miller delivering so far. Got Powar in a healthy lead.

Incredible finish from young Dzambekov. Parker was doing well in that fight and looking the better man, but that shot took everything from him. Dzambekov power certainly looks the part.

They’re comparing him to Kane now.
Thierno Barry huge improvement is entirely self driven. Taking a big page out of Harry Kane's playbook, he has invested hundreds of thousands of his own wages into a private support team. Including a personal chef, dietician, fitness trainer, physio, and striker coach #Everton

Unreal fight. Codrington one of the biggest punchers I’ve ever seen. Didn’t have enough finesse and quality to go with it, but doing this to Bika, one of the most resilient fighters about, shows just how much power he had. Such an underrated classic.
19 years ago, Sakio Bika defeated Jaidon Codrington by TKO in round 8 of 10 to improve his record to 25-3-2 (16 KOs). One of the best fights in the divisions history.

A modest Gerrard making Hoddle feel 10ft tall. Absolute gentleman.

Who’s ya money on, Bunsen Burner?
WBC light-heavyweight title - Joshua Buatsi v Willie Hutchinson. The rematch. A written preview. Manchester tonight. Walking in giant footsteps.

Dwayne Johnson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Denzel Washington, and Will Smith aren’t available. Your movie studio needs a billion-dollar box office hit to stay in business. You get to choose ONE actor to lead the film. Who are you casting?

Despicable behaviour from Khawaja. Sat on a scandal until it was time to sell a few books. Hope the backlash from this is on him rather than his teammates.
Replying to @DanielCherny

Boxing promotions do not build value. They are designed to extract value from the golden goose. That's why no one invests in them. You never hear about boxing promotions being sold or raising institutional capital. The model needed a reset and that's what Zuffa Boxing is doing.

She makes Jenny from Forrest Gump look like an angel.
Finished This City Is Ours last night and it was brilliant. Just as good as the first season. I hope to god they don’t bring Diana back if they do a season three though. She’s one insufferable hypocrite, her.

Any footage of my great friend @stevelillis tucking into one?

Wonderful finish. Absolutely brutal.
