RESULT: Conor Benn outpoints Regis Prograis in catchweight bout
Image source, Getty ImagesIt's time for us to bring this live text to an end. Thanks, as always, for joining us.
It always felt like a night where a couple of fighters - Conor Benn and Tyson Fury - wanted to get through unscathed and move on to bigger things.
Benn's win over Regis Prograis puts him in the driving seat to face WBC welterweight champion Ryan Garcia.
And Fury's victory might have just sealed a super-fight with long-term rival Anthony Joshua.

Garcia can really punch. Benn gets sparked out.

Conor Benn also earned a comfortable unanimous decision win over Regis Prograis in the co-main.
Benn, speaking to Netflix, was quick to set his sights on WBC welterweight champion Ryan Garcia: "We don't like southpaws, no one likes southpaws. Preparing for a southpaw is long.
"Ultimately we got the job done, got through a few scratches, and keep it moving.
"Prograis presented different challenges to Eubank, Eubank is a great fighter, it's my first fight back at 150lb, 147lb in three years.
"I've done what I needed to do, I believe I won every round apart from the head clashes.
"I just want to get my world title, I want Ryan Garcia next. I want my WBC belt, keep it warm for me.
"He can get it next, twice on Sunday's, any day of the week I'll give it you."

Conor Benn said before his bout with Regis Prograis that he wanted WBC welterweight champion Ryan Garcia next.

Fury is embarrassing. Moses Itauma would need 4 rounds max to toy with him.

All the talk of Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury potentially meeting next means neither would be fighting for a world title in 2026.
Here's how the heavyweight world title picture looks at the moment but that could change by the end of May.
Fabio Wardley puts his WBO title on the line against Daniel Dubois on 9 May and Oleksandr Usyk is set to defend his WBC belt against Rico Verhoeven on 23 May.
We're sifting through the messages in our inbox now, Scott, and it's a very mixed bag.
I think we all wish it happened five years ago.
But there still seems to be plenty of appetite out there for Tyson Fury v Anthony Joshua even if they are past their prime.
It's so often the way in the boxing, isn't it?

I wish this fight happened 5 years ago. Pointless fight now. Do people feel the same as I do?

Fury did exactly what he needed to do. That was the optimal performance for him. If he could pick the type of performance to put forward, it would be exactly that.
He took all his tools out of the box and polished them up. He is ready for a mega fight.

Fury is a very good technical boxer but without genuine KO power but discipline to execute a game plan. AJ is a decent technical boxer, who has real KO power but who lacks discipline. Be interesting fight even though they both past their prime.

Enjoyed that scrap. And the Benn fight was good too. Fury AJ surely has to happen now. Fury will win that comfortably. AJ is too damaged.

"Until the first bell goes, there is no fight. I have been here three or four times with [Deontay] Wilder and Fury. This is boring to me.
"I like his fighting style. I think he is good, but I don't think he will be able to cope with me. Based off tonight, It would be hard work for him."

£80 million for each fighter nearing the end of their careers….. AJ can’t say no.

Amazing how easily Fury manipulates people. Pretends there's an "announcement" when the fight clearly isn't actually signed or agreed, then tries to make Joshua look bad for not going along with his nonsense. How do people still fall for it?

More from Anthony Joshua, who was again interviewed ringside: "There are negotiations that you go through. I have been at this table with him many times. In my heart, I'd fight Fury tomorrow, especially after watching that. There is not a problem fighting him.
"I am not here to get clout. I am here to fight. The contract will be sent over, we will go through the nitty gritty, and you will probably see us in the ring next, more than likely - but I am not here to get in the ring, shouting in someone's face. If you look at my track record, I have never done that. I came to watch the fight, I saw what I saw, and I know what I need to do."
If you had your way, would you have a warm up fight before Fury? "Good question. There is both options. We'll see.
"I was in a serious incident maybe four months ago. I need to really check out what is going on with my return to the ring. But I'm here, keeping my eye on the game. I am not ducking anyone, there is just things in my life I need to tend to.
"I am sorting some things out. My brothers, their parents, the brotherhood of taking care of things. That is the priority right now."

Image source, Getty ImagesAnthony Joshua looked pretty relaxed ringside throughout the bout and even as Tyson Fury made his big call out.
Joshua stood his ground, refusing to get in the ring and refusing to say yes to the fight until he is presented with terms of the deal.
Smart move from Joshua?

What’s happened to Fury’s power? Old timer now and should retire gracefully and bask in his incredible achievements. Should have took on AJ years ago but avoided it. Give up in glory.
