David Haye gets a rapturous welcome there, and he's coming on to "Ain't no stopping us now". Haye's taking his time getting to the ring, and revelling in the atmosphere. He finally makes it into the ring. Lots of stars around the ring. Bruno. Holyfield. Khan.

Maccarinelli coming in second, and there's a fiery welcome for the Welshman coming to London. "I won't back down" is his entrance music, and I just smacked one of my mates who stood dancing in front...

Carl Johanneson always looks nervous before a fight, but I think that is just a part of him, and how he normally looks. Quiet lad, but a banger. Mitchell looking a little more nervous as they go in for the first face off. This one has a few sparks going already.

Round 1:

Swapping jabs, then Johanneson gives Mitchell a shove off balance. Good combos early onfrom Mitchell, and he has Johanneson covering up. Body shots doing good business for Mitchell, and Johanneson gets...

Round 1:

Klitschko has the majority of the fans behind him. They stare into each others eyes. And spicoli....I agree that Ibragimov is certainly Barney Rubble's bigger fatter taller brother.

Cagey opening, and they wave their jabs at each other. Klitshcko batting Ibrag's jab away. I'm ettling for Klit and Ibrag early doors. Ibrag may have grazed the flesh of Klit with a jab towards the area of the ribs.No landing punches in the first 90 seconds. Ibrag ducks a jab then clinches....

Round 1:

Duddy coming out on fire with some good hooks and throwing plenty early on. Body shots are the Duddy staple here so far, but Smichet with three big right hooks has Duddy reeling. The Duddy guard is nowhere, and Smichet is landing at will here and putting Duddy in real bother. 5 left and right wide hooks land flush on Duddy, who is just not moving back. Duddy with some shots of his own, but his oppnent is landing amazing shots here, anda Duddy's cut under the left eye. He's...
