British featherweight prospect Josh Warrington was on the bill earlier in Berlin and stopped Edwin Tellez of Nicaragua in the fifth round. The 24 year old, roared on by more than 500 fans from Leeds, controlled the pace in the opening rounds before unleashing a barrage of punches in the fifth that caused Tellez's corner to throw in the towel. Warrington improves to 20-0 with his fourth KO win. He next fights Dennis Tubieron in Leeds on 11 April.

Paul Smith and Arthur Abraham are expected in the ring about 2145 GMT. Smith looks super-confident and relaxed in the dressing room and we should expect the Liverpool man to jump on the 35-year-old Abraham from the opening bell. Abraham, remember, was dismantled by Nottingham's Carl Froch in 2010.

Liverpool heavyweight David Price dropped Brazilian opponent Irineu Beato Costa Junior three times in the sixth round in Berlin to continue his rehabilitation after a rocky couple of years, including being knocked out twice by American Tony Thompson in 2013.

Following a steady first five rounds, with 45 seconds remaining in the sixth Costa was felled by a left hook. Up he came, but down he went 20 seconds later after a big overhand right. Up once more, down one final time after a clubbing one-two. In came the towel, and it's now four wins in a row for Price and his 16th career knockout.

... and after that, with maybe a bit of an overlap, it's St Helens toughy Martin Murray up against Kazakh rib-crippler Gennady Golovkin, the WBA super-middleweight champion. Golovkin has 28 knockouts from 31 pro encounters, hasn't gone the distance since 2008 and has never gone more than eight rounds. Murray has challenged for world titles twice before - he was unlucky only to get a draw against Germany's Felix Sturm in 2011 - in Germany - and ran Argentina's Sergio Martinez close in 2013 - in Argentina. In case you were wondering, this fight isn't in Kazakhstan - it's in Monte Carlo.

Evening. Thanks for joining us for live text coverage of two world title fights involving prime British meat. First up from the O2 World Arena in Berlin, it's Liverpool's Paul Smith with a second bite of the cherry against Germany's WBO super-middleweight champion Arthur Abraham. Smith came up short against Abraham in Kiel last September, although the fact he was granted a rematch was largely down to some seriously funky scoring, with one judge giving the Englishman one round. He won a few more than that...
