WBO super-featherweight title holder Scott Quigg is ringside this evening and is plumping for his rival to make a unification bout possible.

"That's the fight I want, that's the fight he apparently wants," he said. "He has been very vocal about it so hopefully he comes through and sticks to what he says and the fight can be made. I am a million per cent I will beat him if it is made.

Fury's grasping a microphone in the middle of the ring: "I said that I would sing a song after I won this fight. Elvis sang me in, so I'm going to sing a bit of Elvis myself: 'Put on my blue suede shoes / And I boarded the plane / Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues / In the middle of the pouring rain...'

"I want Klitschko next!"

Well, that was something....

"If I turn up, I'll win the fight, simple as that," predicts Frampton, ahead of his first title defence.

"I want to keep on winning and look explosive in every single contest. He's cocky but I'll knock that out of him."

Nothing like confidence Carl...

Belfast boxer Carl Frampton claims opponent Chris Avalos' mother spat chewing gum at him during Friday's weigh-in.

Things got heated after the fighters had stepped on the scales with Avalos shoving the IBF Super Bantamweight champion.

Frampton later tweeted: "Thank you for the amazing support as usual. On another note, Avalos' mother hit me with a bit of chewing gum straight out of her mouth. Lovely lady she is."

Great timing - it is almost as though they planned it. Now our focus lies completely with Carl Frampton and Belfast. The Odyssey is jumping as they await their darling.

Well, that's that. Boos echo around the Arena and I can see why - why's the towel been thrown in by Hammer's corner?

I suppose he had been taking an absolute battering, and will have been miles behind on the scorecards. Still, a damp squib of an ending, particularly after the bombastic climax of the Eubank contest.

"Boom, boom, boom!" cries Fury to the camera. "Klitschko next, baby!"

Peter Fury keeps telling his heavyweight charge to jab, and when he does Tyson is enjoying success. But Hammer is intelligent, crowding his taller opponent. Hammer has gained a little in confidence, and the atmosphere inside the O2 Arena is not exactly crackling. Fury's opponent's head will have cleared, and he's always got a puncher's chance. Will he land a big one? Will we witness Hammer's Time? Sorry...

Enjoy the pantomime of the war of words? Well, here is some more.

Avalos's management team challenged Frampton to put some of his purse for the fight on a bet with the American as the victor - if he was feeling so confident.

Frampton responded, to huge cheers: "I wouldn't like to take your money off you. You've been wearing that same tracksuit top on four days. Every time I see you you've been wearing that coat."

You get the feeling neither will be going short of money after this.

There has been a feeling of ill-will between the two boxers ever since the fight was announced and the weigh in did little to calm the animosity.

Chris Avalos accused Frampton of having been born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

The response from the defending IBF super bantam weight world champion? - "I've had a silver spoon? I'm from the ghetto. I'm from T (Tiger's) Bay - that's the ghetto mate!"

Class wars now.

Fury's corner: "He's buying time. When he holds, try to twist him around. Then you'll be able to bang him easily. How are you feeling? Deep breath. Deep breath again."

Clubbing body shots from the Fury, and the big Mancunian keeps turning his opponent around and around, so Hammer doesn't really know where he's standing inside the ring. Hammer's solution? To grab and hold until the referee tells them to break. More reprimands from the referee, and since that Fury flurry in round five we've seen little.

So who does Frampton have to beat to stay on track for that mouth watering Scott Quigg unification bout?

Californian Chris Avalos, 24, stopped Yasutaka Ishimoto in May to become the IBF's mandatory challenger for the title and since then he has beaten Jose Cen Torres to take his career statistics to 25 wins and two losses.

The American's two losses have come against Christopher Martin and Jonatan Romero and his defeat of Ishimoto in China is the only time he has fought outside the United States.

It shouldn't be a problem should it? It is an incredible atmosphere in Belfast with the party in full swing. A little bit like an Irish wedding with some Neil Diamond 'Sweet Caroline' being sung along to.

He is the man of the moment. Can Chris Avalos stop him?

Fury's corner: "He's still dangerous. Hit him with crisp, clean shots and he'll go."

Studious from Fury, stalking Hammer around the ring. The big Romanian is cautioned by the referee at one point for using his head, but sees out the round and sits down heavily on his stool. Fury struts back to his corner.
