    Daniel Dubois to DAZN after beating Filip Hrgovic: "I have full respect for the guy, he was a good fighter. It was a learning curve for me. I've got the IBF belt, now for the next.

    When did you think you had it won?: "The round before the last I was getting to it and it was coming together like magic. My dad told me things would happen.

    Dubois beats Hrgovic by stoppage

    I wonder what Anthony Joshua made of that?

    A statement victory from Daniel Dubois against a previously undefeated Filip Hrgovic.

    That is six wins from Dubois' last seven trips to the ring. His only defeat in that sequence came against the now undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.

    "I've heard Anthony Joshua is next," says Dubois.

    Full quotes to follow.

    I would love to see the scenes backstage of Queensberry knowing they are now $3m richer.

    Dubois beats Hrgovic by stoppage

    Daniel Dubois is the WBA 'interim' heavyweight champion.

    Filip Hrgovic wasn't complaining.

    Frank Warren was on his feet at ringside when it stopped. He may be 72 but he was jumping up and down like a teenager there!

    Daniel Dubois has just put on the performance of his career.

  9. Round eight - it's over!published at 00:38 British Summer Time 2 June

    Dubois v Hrgovic

    Dubois has won it!

    The doctor was taking a look at Hrgovic's cuts and has stopped the fight.

    It's the right call. Hrgovic was cut above both eyes.

  10. Round sevenpublished at 00:36 British Summer Time 2 June

    Dubois v Hrgovic

    The crowd are on their feet. Hrgovic some how stays on his feet as Dubois lands a clean right hand.

    The referee breaks the fighters to have a word with Dubois about shots to the back of the head.

    As soon the fight recommences, Dubois gets straight back to work and piles on further damage.

    Hrgovic might not have long left here.

  11. Round sevenpublished at 00:35 British Summer Time 2 June

    Dubois v Hrgovic

    Dubois is clearly feeling confident and fresh? He's off his stool way before time and standing ready to get the round going.

    Hrgovic, meanwhile, needs every second as his cuts - he's picked up another around the left eye - need treatment.

    Dubois digs in a left to the body and follows with another to the head. He goes chasing and has more success with a left hook to the side of the head.

    Dubois is taking control of this fight. Hrgovic is being picked apart.

  12. Round sixpublished at 00:31 British Summer Time 2 June

    Dubois v Hrgovic

    This one is tough to call.

    Dubois starts on the front foot, throwing out the jab and trying to follow with the left. He backs Hrgovic on to the ropes but the Croatian steps to the side and escapes.

    A left hook to the body from Dubois stings Hrgovic.

    Hrgovic is no longer having the same success with his right, he tries to hide it behind the jab but Dubois shows good footwork to step out of range.

    We go into the second half of this fight.

    I give Dubois the edge. Dubois looks tired but Hrgovic looks absolutely shattered. It's gone on longer than I thought based off that first round.

  14. 'Dubois' footwork is underrated'published at 00:27 British Summer Time 2 June

    The footwork of Dubois is underrated, he moves out of the way and takes the sting out of these shots.

  15. Round fivepublished at 00:27 British Summer Time 2 June

    Dubois v Hrgovic

    It has been confirmed that the cut above Hrgovic's right eye was caused by a punch and not a clash of heads.

    Dubois lands a left hook right on that mark.

    Hrgovic is getting the better of the exchanges in this round though. He forces Dubois to take a backwards step with a straight right just before the bell.

  16. 'Joshua may face the winner of this'published at 00:26 British Summer Time 2 June

    Anthony Joshua is set next to Eddie Hearn. The winner of this fight may well face Joshua in September.

  17. Postpublished at 00:26 British Summer Time 2 June

    A reminder that as far as the 5 v 5 contest goes, Filip Hrgovic needs to win this fight by stoppage to keep Matchroom's hopes of a draw alive.

    Side note, Anthony Joshua has looked pretty relaxed, sat back in his seat all night but crouched forwards now as he takes a close look at these two fighters.

    He could be set to face the winner later this year.

  18. Round fourpublished at 00:23 British Summer Time 2 June

    Dubois v Hrgovic

    Dubois dips down low and then comes up to sting Hrgovic with a jab.

    Hrgovic responds with that trusty right hand before Dubois chases him down with a one-two.

    The blood is pouring from Hrgovic's right eye. Is that going to be a big factor as this fight goes on?

    There were three voices in that blue corner again.

    Dubois v Hrgovic

    There are a lot of voices in Daniel Dubois corner in between rounds.

    He's getting instruction from trainer Don Charles but Dubois' dad is also trying to offer some advice.

    His head is turning from side to side as he tries to listen to both. It looks like he's watching the action at the French Open.
