    Selby beats Hunter

    Well that wasn't a bad starter. If you're just tuning in, Lee Selby has defended his IBF featherweight world title with a points win 115-111, 116-110 and 116-110.

    Comfortable then? No. He was knocked down in round two but this was possible the key moment...

    Eric Hunter - warned several times - was deducted a point for a low blow and never regained his composure for the closing rounds.

    Selby beats Hunter

    IBF featherweight champion Lee Selby reacts: "When I got put down it was only a flash knockdown. I've got one of the best chins in the business and I wasn't hurt. He was a good fighter but I was too good for him.

    "I always like to put a show on for the fans, I like to dance in the ring and fighting at the O2 gives me a feeling like no other.

    "You've heard good fighters call me out, Carl Frampton, Leo Santa Cruz, I'll fight anybody."

    So we go to the judges as the two teams mix in the middle of the ring. Off come the gloves while we await the decision.

  19. Final roundpublished at 21:46 British Summer Time 9 April 2016

    Selby v Hunter

    Can Eric Hunter stun the O2 and send his name flashing through social media and into boxing headlines?

    He jumps in, hunting a big connection, it ain't there.

    A minute to go, this time he runs in but it's telegraphed easily. Lee Selby is a fit lad for sure, still he has bounce in his legs and after ducking a right hook he lands a good solid left, great shot.

    Just 10 seconds left, some showmanship, ding, ding, ding. The referee claps the crowd, that's that. Eric Hunter walks to his corner and puts his hands on the ropes as he looks at the floor. He knows he wasted a chance here.

  20. Final roundpublished at 21:43 British Summer Time 9 April 2016

    A touch of gloves and we are off and running. This has been enjoyable and packed with incident. 

    The lesson here kids, listen when you're told not to do something...
