  1. Over in Belfast, the atmosphere in building. Carl Frampton v Chris Avalos is not far away...

  2. Fury's corner: "See what I said to you about taking your time then taking your chance? Enjoy it. Don't load up - throw crisp shots."

    Danny Payne: I vaguely recall a boxer nicknamed "Canvas Back", and surely "Butter Bean" has to be up there too.

    Tom the tank Taylor: I'd be Tom "The Tank" Taylor!

    Jon Morgan: Best boxing nickname is Henry "Sugar Poo" Buchanan, obviously.

    If you are wondering, this is a real nickname.

  5. Round five

    Now the Mancunian comes forward and looks to end it quickly. Hammer is holding on for dear life but Fury is landing with some big shots to the head. The bell saves Hammer.

  6. Round five

    Fury lands with a big shot and Hammer is floored. He is up and beats the count.

  7. Fury's corner: "Switch up and move around. Do different things. Work the jab and punish him. You're winning every round anyway. Listen, this is an eliminator for a world title fight. Don't take any chances. Focus on him."

  8. Round four

    None of the action we saw in the Eubank victory earlier this evening. Fury still jabbing and retreating. Easy, easy for Fury so far. Not sure Hammer has won a round.

  9. Fury's corner: "Use your hands to block, just to be sure. Watch for his hooks. This round use your hands more, keep moving on your feet. Yes?"

  11. Round three

    Dull stuff so far with Fury completely in control. Hammer is trying to wind himself up for a big shot but he just can't get near. Just as I say that the Romanian does land with a right - probably his first of the fight. Fury though responds with a flurry of punches before retreating sharply. Hammer is missing a lot of punches.

  13. Tyson FuryPA

    Fury's corner: "Water, please! Basically, stay nice and relaxed. Ram the jab in then lean back out. Keep boxing orthodox, then switch it up a bit. When he comes in, punish him."

  14. Round two

    Hammer can't get near Fury early on. Jab, jab, jab, Fury is in control. The Mancunian finds time to laugh at a shout from someone in the crowd, he is enjoying himself out here. An uppercut connects before the bell as Fury surely wins his second round out of two.

  15. Fury's corner: "Keep touching him up, the odd uppercut, having a look at him. He's flailing away when he comes in. We've got the first round out of the way and we know what he's about. He's trying to walk you down. Enjoy it in here - he's a journeyman. When we're ready we'll step it up."

    Fury's trainer is his uncle, Peter.

  16. Round one

    Fury goads Hammer early on. He is calling the Romanian forward, smiling at him as he dances around the ring. At 6ft 9ins, Fury is staying away from Hammer and landing the jab with his huge reach. A confident start from the home boxer as he lands a left before connecting with a right and left combination.

  17. Tyson Fury mocks his opponent as the referee calls them together. Hammer refuses to touch gloves but is called back to do just that. Fight on.

  18. A delay even before we start as a split glove for Tyson Fury needs to be fixed. Won't be long before we are under way.

  19. Christian Hammer is making his debut in the UK. No one expects the Romanian to upset Tyson Fury but upsets can happen.
