Tommy Fury vs Jake Paul: Round Eight (Final round)

Fury was down at the start of the final round, claiming to have slipped but it was certainly a nice shot from Paul which put him there.

Any score cards which were even up to this point may have been changed by that single moment in the final round. Fury was the better boxer throughout but did not capitalise on his chances early on.

An electric final round, with the crowd chanting for Fury - that most agression we have seen from him so far and he will be hoping that it's enough as we go to the judges' scorecards...

Tommy Fury vs Jake Paul: Round Seven

The crowd have picked up in this round, with chanting for Fury as he looks to need the support as the contest moves into its closing stages.

Both are clearly feeling the pace, but Fury is working well from range and is boxing sensibly in contrast to the agression his father, John, was demanding after the last round.

KSI criticises referee

KSI is not impressed with the referee's actions durings this fight and it's safe to say he's not the only one.

Tommy Fury vs Jake Paul: Round Six

The fight has dipped somewhat in terms of intensity, with both fighters clearly feeling the pace of the contest. Fury is still landing the better shots.

Fury has a point deducted of his own to even up the penalties - he was dominant up until that point but the refereee's intervention opened the door for Paul at the end.

Tommy Fury vs Jake Paul: Round Five

Paul has certainly found his range and is landing some nice shots, his overhand right is becoming a very dangerous weapon in this contest.

However, he may have been a bit over-enthusiastic as he is handed a point deduction for a shot to the back of the head.

He comes back to rock Fury once again and for the first time Fury looks second best. He has three rounds to put the fight to bed, but it's becoming an increasingly uphill task.

Tommy Fury vs Jake Paul: Round Four

Another good start from Fury after what may have been some quite strong words from his corner as he had begun to let Paul in to the fight.

The best shot of the fight comes from Paul, however, reminding Fury that he has earned his place in the fight.

Carl Froch in the BT studio has the fight three rounds to one in favour of Fury so far.

Tommy Fury vs Jake Paul: Round Three

Paul is showing more with his right hand now and is undoubtedly powerful and Fury will be keen not to let his opponent get a foothold having started well.

The better boxing is still coming from Fury, but as he tires he may not be able to exert the same control he did in the opening exhanges.

Tommy Fury vs Jake Paul: Round Two

Fury's left jab is looking good and he is starting to get the measure of Paul - he is the better fighter and that is becoming even clearer as the fight progresses.

Paul's strength is his power and has the capacity to launch a counter at any moment but has not shown any signs of that just yet.

Tommy Fury vs Jake Paul: Round One

Fury has come out on the offensive, with Paul trying to slow him down by grabbing him - the referee has a word with the American with the fight too scrappy in the opening exhanges.

Fury is looking the better boxer at present but is clearly wary of the power of his opponent and will need to remain so despite having started on the front foot.

Some big shots at the bell from Fury to end the round well.

Crowd favour Fury

It's fair the say the majority of the crowd are supporting Fury. The Manchester-born boxer is cheered when his name is announced, whereas some of the crowd boo Paul.

Time for the national anthems

The two fighters are in the ring for the main event and it's time for the national anthems, starting with God Save the King.

Badou Jack beats Ilunga Makabu by knockout in Round 12

Badou Jack is a three-weight world champion!

Mike Tyson applauds the man he led out to the ring as he clinically finished the fight, he rocked Makabu with a right-hand and smelled blood, pinning the Congolese fighter on the ropes before the referee stops the contest as Makabu stopped fighting back.

Ilunga Makabu vs Badou Jack: Round Eleven

Makabu went down early in the eleventh round and has not bounced back strongly - he looks a bit wobbly and Jack has grown in confidence having seen the struggles of his opponent.

Jack looks likely to be pushing towards a points win here but could yet seal a knockout with his opponent struggling.

Ilunga Makabu vs Badou Jack: Round Ten

Jack looked to be drifting in the last few rounds but is back with a bang here, pushing Makabu back with some big shots from his left-hand.

A great round which could go a long way to determining the outcome of the fight.

Ilunga Makabu vs Badou Jack: Round Nine

As they move through the fight, Makabu is increasingly confident. The younger man is certainly showing his extra energy as the fight moves into its final quarter.

Ilunga Makabu vs Badou Jack: Round Eight

Makabu is making Jack take some backward steps with some big right hands and has refound his rhythm after the earlier knockdown. This is a much more even contest now and the crowd is giving the fighters more to work with, but not a lot.

Ilunga Makabu vs Badou Jack: Round Six

We're nearing the stage of the contest where Makabu will be aware of the need to step things up in order to win - he needs to dominate the rest of the contest or hope to find the knockout punch.

He has improved but Jack's early dominance has meant that he needs to bring more for the rest of the contest.
