Hrgovic looks tired already. Dubois is boxing at his pace and he is taking it away from Hrgovic.
Dubois v Hrgovic
There are a lot of wild punches being thrown.
It's anything but a technical fight to this point.
There's only so long these two giants can throw big before they tire, right?
Dubois is warned about leading with his head.

It's a good little fight, this.
Dubois v Hrgovic
It may not have been a left from Dubois that cut Hrgovic. Possibly a clash of heads.
Still, the damage has been done.

There's a cut to Hrgovic.
Dubois v Hrgovic
There's no disguise behind Hrgovic throwing his right hand but it is still doing the business.
Hrgovic looks to vary and digs in a left to the body.
Dubois comes back to the body of Hrgovic with a left-right combination.
Both fighters start working the combinations. The output is there.
Much better from Dubois to end the round, he backs Hrgovic on to the ropes and lands a left over the top. There's blood coming from above Hrgovic's right eye.

This might not last a round.
Dubois v Hrgovic
Hrgovic is the first to have some success with two big right hands over the top.
Dubois eats them both and just stays in the pocket. Hrgovic throws another and it lands again.
They keep coming.
How many can Dubois take? He showed against Jarrel Miller in December that he has a chin but it's not wise to be a standing target.

The records have been announced the fighters have touched gloves and off we go!

I'm not sure what song Filip Hrgovic is accompanied by, it's got heavy guitars, some serious drums and it's rock. I like it.

Team of 5 to take on the world: Usyk, Inoue, Crawford, Alvarez, Haney. Unbeatable surely!

And here comes Daniel Dubois to Michael Jackson's 'Bad'.
The Briton wastes no time in making his way into the ring.
He means business tonight.
Just two weeks ago we were treated to an all-time classic as Oleksandr Usyk beat Tyson Fury by split decision to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the four-belt era.
That was the pinnacle of boxing but, unfortunately, boxing isn't always fair and there's every chance that Usyk, who is set to have a rematch with Fury in December, could be stripped of the IBF title as he will not be facing its mandatory challenger next.
Usyk has requested an exemption from the IBF to defend his belt against Briton Fury but we are still waiting to hear the outcome.
It was confirmed earlier this week that tonight's heavyweight contest between Daniel Dubois and Filip Hrgovic will be for the IBF 'interim' heavyweight title.
The winner will automatically be upgraded to world champion if Usyk is forced to vacate.
We're back to the 5 v 5 events and it's on to the two final fights - both in the heavyweight division.
Matchroom's Eddie Hearn needs two knockout wins to draw the night.
His man Filip Hrgovic is up next against Daniel Dubois.
Matchroom promoter Eddie Heard to DAZN: "I'm pleased to get two points with Dmitry Bivol. Frank gave me that one because we're that far behind. We know what we need to do, I'm hopeful. We need the big boys to pull it out of the bag. It's been an incredible fight, I thought Ray Ford could've edged it but it's been a brilliant night of boxing.
"If we can nick a draw, some how, some way, I'll be flying home a happy man."
Frank Warren: "The fights have been good quality boxing all night. There are winners and losers, but the winners have been the future. This is a formula for the future and we want to continue doing this."
A real pick 'n' mix there Jay and glad to have you on board!

Five currently active fighters for a dream boxing team. Usyk- at cruiser or heavy for obvious reasons. Katie Taylor - trailblazer and a level above the rest Terence Crawford- technician and tactician. Canelo - our modern throwback fighter to the days of Hagler and Leonard. The Romford Bull Johnny Fisher- the best atmosphere in boxing and a crowd nobody wants heckling your fighter. Bosh.

When Eddie Hearn phoned me asking to be on this card, I said yes before even knowing who my opponent was.
It sounded almost too good to be true. I didn’t want to get too excited until I knew it was for real.
But before I knew it, I was in Bulgaria filming a promo video in the style of a big-budget movie trailer.
I play a boxing gym cleaner who, as Eddie puts it in the video, "cleans the floor" with a fighter who disrespects me.
I fancy myself as a bit of an actor now. I was getting a few DMs from Denzel Washington asking if I could be in his next film. I said "hold on, I’ve got a big fight coming up, I’ll get back to you".
Joking aside, that is what I love about this whole five-versus-five card – getting to experience new things; being on a film set, doing the rehearsals, the costume changes.
I never thought I’d experience anything like that in my career. I've been on a lot of big shows in the United Kingdom, but it's just a whole different ball game.
Recovered from last month's undisputed heavyweight fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury?
If not, you've got plenty of time to get your head straight until the rematch.
It was confirmed earlier this week by Turki Alashikh, the chairman of Saudi Arabia's general entertainment authority, that the pair will meet against on 21 December.
"The world will watch another historical fight again," Alashikh added on X.
Usyk, the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999, added Fury's WBC belt to his WBA, WBO and IBF collection when they fought in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on 18 May.
The 37-year-old Ukrainian has won all 22 of his professional fights.
Briton Fury, 35, will have the opportunity to gain revenge after tasting defeat for the first time in his 16-year professional career against Usyk.
