Fury is wearing some quite horrific green shorts sporting the name 'Prince'. He is enjoying himself out here - let's hope the fans are come the end.

"I don't think we'll see a dancing and thinking Tyson Fury. We'll see an old Fury tonight, where he'll jump in the ring and be all over Christian Hammer. I don't see this going even eight rounds."

Anyway back to London and the O2 Arena as Tyson Fury looks to move a step nearer to a world title shot against Wladimir Klitschko. The Brit is up against Christian Hammer, who was born in Romania but lives in Germany.

Hammer is already in the ring, while Fury enters to an Elvis impersonator in the ring singing 'Trouble'. Extraordinary scenes.

Billy Joe Saunders, British middleweight, on BoxNation: "Tyson is too clever. He's come all this way in terms of development, he's looking for that big title fight against Wladimir Klitschko, and he's just one fight away."

Carl Frampton's manager and promoter is the legend that is Barry McGuigan, and he hyped up his fighter to BBC Sport in the week.

"The combination of the two fighters' styles should make for a great contest," McGuigan said. "It's not just about winning the world title - it's about winning fights emphatically and making as many defences as we can.

"There are potential unification fights to consider too, so there are huge opportunities for Carl."

The hype surrounding Carl Frampton has persuaded ITV to bring boxing back to terrestrial TV for the first time in almost a decade.

And the Jackal is under no illusions how important it is to entertain as he looks to find global stardom - with the fight being aired in 55 countries.

He said: "I'm on the brink of something big now. I can't afford any slip-ups at this stage and I need to continue to impress. There's too much at stake.

"My ambition is not celebrity but to become acknowledged as the best super-bantamweight. Then, if I can do that, I will move up in weight in the hope that being a two-division world champion might be enough for me to be elected to the Hall of Fame."

It wouldn't be boxing if we didn't have a few nicknames in the mix and Carl 'the Jackal' Frampton doesn't disappoint.

That got me thinking about what I would call myself if I was boxer. How does Andy 'the Wurzel' Cryer sound? Fair enough, not great.

"To the Odyssey in Belfast. A little over an hour until Frampton and Avalos enter the ring and this place will require a new roof."

Chris Eubank Sr speaking to BoxNation at ringside: "Christopher has it, you saw it tonight, but he didn't use his jab in the Billy Joe Saunders fight. Tonight was an explosive competition, and my son made Britain proud with that performance.

"I'm shocked, stunned and amazed that the referee didn't stop it sooner. Incredible really. But that's boxing, it's a sexy sort of sport. And this man [Eubank Jnr] is bringing sexy back to the sport."

Chris Eubank Jr speaking on BoxNation at ringside: "Hats off to Chudonov. I have never hit somebody so many times and the guy hasn't gone down. I had to stop beating him up in the 12th and say that he's a hell of a fighter. An incredible chin.

"This result is redemption and I'm back. And I want that rematch, Billy Joe Saunders. I'm coming for you. I know what Billy is about, and the boxing public know that I'm a league above him. I now know I can go 12 rounds and turn up in the 12th.

"I'm a complete fighter and I'm ready for redemption. I went in there to box the guy and show my skills, so I knew boxing wouldn't be enough and I just have to give him punches. I'll happily fight him again - he deserves it."

Chris D'Cunha: An excellent performance from Chris Eubank. That boy has got an engine. Future world champion for sure.

Paul Wadieh: Congrats and great comeback from Chris Eubank! TKO. Gotta love #bbcboxing for keeping me updated!

You're very welcome, Paul.

As if Carl Frampton wasn't popular enough on his own among his fellow countrymen, the small matter of having former world champion. Barry McGuigan as his manager just adds to the cocktail.

The 'Clones Cyclone' is a hero to many in Northern Ireland but some are tipping Frampton to emulate his many successes.

He would have some career if he does.

Don't forget that was just for starters this evening. Tyson Fury v Christian Hammer next at the O2 before Carl Frampton defends his world title against Chris Avalos in Belfast. If the last two fights are as good as that we are in for a treat.

A brilliant performance from Chris Eubank Jr from the first bell. It is hard to see how Chudinov won a round and he is now sitting in his corner with a bloody eye, a swollen jaw and a broken spirit. The Russian deserves huge credit for his resilience and Eubank acknowledges that. Great fight.

Brutal stuff. Eubank is taking no prisoners as he throws an avalanche of punches. At last the referee stops it with about a minute left.

Sam Heaton: He's taken some punishment tonight, Chudinov. Dear me. Hard bloke, no doubt.

Eubank catches Chudinov with a huge left hand. He follows with punch after punch after punch. How is Chudinov still standing? He is though. Eubank looks amazed himself that flurry didn't win him the fight. Into the last two minutes.
