    No Joshua took a pay-cut to keep the event on. He could have also sat out after Franklin waiting for Saudi like Wilder is doing. Remember when the Forum got excited because they thought Joshua wasn't going to fight until December / January after beating Franklin and were quick to criticise him. This is Joshua's 3rd fight in 13 months.
    Ansell is a step-up from previous opponents but I agree it's disappointing it's on the main card. I think Hatton's next fight could be a title fight over 10 rounds if he gets through Ansell comfortably.

    I wish everyone a good boxing night :) The first guests will arrive shortly. Let's hope we get some watchable fights and maybe a surprise in one of the undercard fights.

    Matchroom must have patience - lots of patience - with Campbell Hatton. Maybe he has to start eating some of Conor Benn's eggs ? :)

    How bloody soft has the world gotten? :dunno

    "The following program is recommended for those 16 and over because it contains sporting violence and flashing lights".

    Wtf?? I watched both Terminator movies and the first Predator while still in single digits.

    How long have they been putting that milquetoast disclaimer?

    Gemma looks like she's turned many gals out in lockup.

    Sloppy start, frantic flurries both ways, Ruegg the physically stronger and driving Courtney into retreat pretty much the whole two minutes.

    After this, on the YouTube prelims will be:

    • George Liddard vs. Bas Oosterweghel, 6 rounds @ middleweight
    • Brandon James Scott vs. Louis Norman, 6 rounds @ featherweight

    Then on the main card DAZN broadcast:

    1. Campbell Hatton vs. Tom Ansell, 8 rounds @ super lightweight
    2. John Fisher vs. Harry Armstrong, 10 rounds @ heavyweight
    3. Derek Chisora vs. Gerald Marcus Washington, 10 rounds @ heavyweight
    4. Filip Hrgović vs. Demsey McKean, 12 rounds @ heavyweight
    5. Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua vs. Robert Gabriel Helenius, 12 rounds @ heavyweight
    Total of 44 rounds of HW boxing scheduled, but if we put bets down I'd lay a fair sum on getting only half that many completed rounds (22).

    I've got it 2-1 Ruegg. (carrying the 1st and 3rd on aggression)

    Commentators are bending over backwards to play up all Courtney's work, reckon she is "supposed" to win.

    Quick check on BoxRec, aye, she's 3-0 and Ruegg is 7-7.

    Courtney stuck the jab well on the backfoot, very accurate. Ruegg throwing home run pitches but for naught.

    Two apiece.

    Ruegg found something there, switching to southpaw herself briefly in the 5th, allowed her slip in he side door and bait Courtney into a slugfest.

    Ruegg's body shots and Courtney's right check hook both very effective.

    48-47 Ruegg for me.
