  1. Eubank sr back in limelightpublished at 23:19 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2014

    This, you have to see.

    As he talks about his son's potential, Chris Eubank Sr somehow ends up reciting Rudyard Kipling's poem 'If', from start to finish.

    The former middleweight and super-middleweight world champion is seemingly enjoying being back in the limelight.

    Eubank certainly got a mixed reaction from the crowd as he entered the ring to Dr Dre & Snoop Doggy Dog's Still Dre.

    Billy Joe Saunders is now in the arena to Run This Town by Rihanna. A far more low-key entrance than that of his his opponent.

    Here they come.

    Chris Eubank enters the arena to a raucous packed 18,500 crowd.

    He leaps over the ropes, as his dad famously did. Can he live up to the hype?

    Matthew Jones:, external C'mon Eubank! Tonight's the night to show everyone what you're made of!

    Ilyas Najib:, external I can see why there's hype over Eubank Jr. But we have to remember he hasn't really been tested yet - this is his acid test.

  5. Collins on Eubankpublished at 23:13 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2014

    Steve Collins, who beat Chris Eubank senior twice in the 90's, has spoken to BBC World about several subjects.

    On pressure on Chris Eubank jnr to live up to his Dad's achievements? "It's unfair for the young man, the comparisons that have been made to his dad, but it's also an advantage because he is getting TV time, he is getting radio time and he has a father speaking on his behalf. The way Chris Eubank senior speaks is a promoters dream.

    On Chris Eubank vaulting the ropes and coming into the ring with same music as his dad: "His son still has to go out and produce the goods. Chris Eubank getting on the radio and television talking him up like he is the most dangerous thing that ever put gloves on, it all sounds very good. But there is a lot of pressure on the young man and he's got to back it up."

    Chris Eubank isn't the only former world champion to have a son in action this evening.

    Steve Collins Jnr is fighting Mareks Kovalevskis in an international cruiserweight contest.

    Remember his dad Steve? Of course you do. The Irishman known as "The Celtic Warrior" is the former WBO middleweight and super-middleweight champion.

    Abz: The Eubanks are bringing back the charisma to boxing. Come on Junior!

    Steve: Eubank and Fury to win. Both early stoppages. No doubt.

    If only for the following quote from his dad: "There comes a time in every fighter's career when he must risk everything to pursue a dream...

    "I gave you your name, son. Now write it into history once again."

    Beautiful stuff Chris...

    Steve Tanner:, external Chisora had his chance at Klitschko. Think Fury could be the only Brit currently to have him. Fury in the 10th. Eubank in the 4th.

    Scott McEwan:, external Chisora to win by KO. Chisora is a brawler and walks into punches, Tyson has no chin and keeps distance, Chisora will KO him in 8 rounds

    Michael Kennoy:, external Eubank Jr. by KO in the 7th and Fury to win on points.

    Now we get to the business end of the evening. Billy Joe Saunders vs Chris Eubank Jnr next up for the British, European and Commonwealth titles.

  12. Gavin winspublished at 23:06 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2014

    Frankie Gavin gets it.... a unanimous points decision against Bradley Skeete for the British and Commonwealth welterweight title.

    It is all over between Frankie Gavin and Bradley Skeete for the British and Commonwealth welterweight title. Both raise their hands... This is going to be close.

    Scott McEwan:, external Eubank Jr is the most exciting boxer in the world at the moment. A tougher test tonight but convincing points win.

    Henry Withrington:, external Predicting Eubank to win by KO, too much of a beast. Tyson Fury to win via horrendously boring unanimous decision.

    Brad Westlake:, external Going to be a late night. I'm backing Chris Eubank Jr all the way for a KO. And Chisora by KO.

  15. Pundits' Predictionspublished at 23:03 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2014

    Former two-weight world champion Ricky Hatton on Twitter:, external Home from Leicester. Couch tonight. Curry & boxing. I'm going for Fury & Saunders.

  16. Postpublished at 23:01 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2014

    Into the last round between Frankie Gavin and Bradley Skeete. I still have Gavin by one but others, including my colleague Ben Dirs at ringside, has Skeete. Still not a great fight.

    Bring on the big guns I say...

  17. The rise of gypsy boxerspublished at 22:58 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2014

    Gypsy and traveller boxers have long been a feature of the amateur boxing scene.

    Following the success of Tyson Fury and Billy Joe Saunders, are they about to make it big in the professional ranks as well?

    "You only have to look at Frankie Gavin's fleshy middle to see he probably hasn't got what it takes to take it to the next level.

    "Got to be honest, I've got Skeete winning this comfortably. He's just been jabbing Gavin's head off. Others, apparently, disagree..."

    Totum Talks:, external I bet Fury is so relieved his dad named him after Iron Mike. Imagine if his dad had liked someone else? Imagine Bugner Fury!

    Mitch Mansfield:, external Nice to see the Excel packed for a night of boxing again.

    Don't forget the two big fights this evening are still to come.

    Billy Joe Saunders vs Chris Eubank Jnr is next in the ring - once Frankie Gavin and Bradley Skeete have finished their bout. They are halfway through round nine, with Gavin probably just about on top. It is close though.

    Then Dereck Chisora's grudge match with Tyson Fury follows. A late night ahead.
