Incredible fight this. Wilder looks absolutely fúcked yet still managing to throw the occasional big punch. Glad I got up for this.

Well, Wilder survived the 8th but looks absolutely shattered now. He’s well behind on points and doesn’t seem to have the power left. Hard to see anything other than a Fury victory at this stage, but a KO also seems likely.

Some very tired and speculative punches there in the sixth. Gut says Fury will take this within the next two round.

Well the 4th round certainly put the cat amongst the pigeons. This could go either way now, any time.

Wow. Great third round. Not sure Wilder has got it in him to last the 4th. Class from Fury.

Ah well, fúck it, I’m up now. Didn’t regret it last time, hopefully I won’t this time either. Weirdly, I’ve just dreamt the whole fight in vivid detail before waking up bang on 4:30 by pure fluke. It didn’t end well in my dream, hopefully that’s not an omen.

Trying to decide what to do here. I’m absolutely knackered after my first week away on business in nearly two years, but I’d really like to watch this. If I go to bed and wake the kids up getting up to watch it’s going to be carnage, but I’m not sure I have it in me to stay up ‘til 5:30am...

I'll side step the temptation to get into the debate about the context of this crime versus that crime, this punishment versus this punishment, and simply ask: why oh why do people do this? Seriously, it's a crime with literally zero upside. If I do 100 on the motorway, I'll probably get home a...

The media is in reverse thrust (most likely at the government's behest) - signs of easing perhaps in so much that the mile long queues have gone and people aren't scrapping on the forecourts, but fuel remains scarce. That's certainly my experience up here in Leeds. Nipped out at lunch to see...

Really quite harrowing to read the details of how the events which led to Sarah’s death unfolded. That’s as someone who didn’t know her; quite what her loved ones must be going through is utterly incomprehensible. The level of evil cunning and deception is diabolical, and it makes you wonder...

Heavyweight champion just got beaten (and very nearly knocked out) by a Cruiserweight. Keep in mind I wanted AJ to win, but it’s hard to argue his career at the top level isn’t over.

Totally outclassed. Easy to focus on Joshua’s flaws tonight, but take your English hat off and that was fúcking incredible from Usyk. You have to admire that.

3 rounds for Joshua to save his career at the very top level. Lose to a Cruiserweight and there is no going back. Big nine minutes ahead.

Only going one way on points. If I had to bet my house on one or the other right now, it would be Usyk.

Starting to turn now. AJ has to build on this - needs to win it within the next two or three rounds.

Usyk is without doubt the best boxer AJ has ever faced in the ring. He needs to knock him out in my opinion, he won’t win this on points. Genuinely interesting fight.

Ruiz knocked out Usyk?

Brilliant spectacle, this.

Should be interesting this. On paper the height and weight advantage should in theory be enough for Joshua, but pound for pound Usyk is the better fighter. Has Usyk ever been the underdog, or in trouble, in his career? Will be interesting to see how he handles that.

That doesn’t really work without the instrumental, is my take.
