    This type of audience is called "best of order" and I appreciate that. These two are not giving them anything to cheer for. It's a stinker.

    The audacity of Saudi not allowing TalkSport the radio broadcast rights to the fight because they’ve highlighted the lack of atmosphere. It’s so flat.

    Atmosphere is actually quiet an important component of a big fight night, I've been looking forward to the main event for a while now and I'm fighting to keep my eyes open. Normally you'd hear Fury fans singing in one part of the arena, Usyk fans in another, the odd fight breaking out in the crowd, it's a shame they are so reserved out there.

    For a stinking fight they'll both have pretty sore faces tomorrow.

    Get Russ Abbott to improve the atmosphere.

    He loves a party with a happy atmosphere.

    Both of these guys are lucky that our Ton’ hung up the gloves. Both would crumble as soon as they hear the Z cars theme with Coldwell snarling at them on their way to the ring.

    Remember when Whyte was put to sleep in Eddies back garden?

    Beautiful stuff

    Although Opetaia hasn't been great tonight, still reckons he beats CBS easily

    You know Tony Bellew isn’t in Riyadh anyway, you can hear him screaming like a demented banshee above a raucous atmosphere.

    If he loses this, it might be his next fight...
