    I’m sure promoter Eddie Hearn will be thrilled to see a Frank Warren show emblazoned on the side of Manchester Arena.

    Josh Warrington v Carl Frampton is another event you’ll get live BBC Radio 5 live on 22 December.

    Speaking of signage, kudos to this dude across the road from the venue. No need to call your burger van anything quirky when you can just opt for ‘Cheeseburgers steak chips hotdogs drinks’. Kind of suits the no nonsense nature of boxing.

    I’m sold.

    Tony Bellew.

    The underdog who's bitten off more than he can chew? Or the undisputed champion in waiting?

    Tonight the Bomber will either write his name into British boxing folklore or bow out of the game to one of the most feared men in the sport.

    Awaiting the Liverpudlian at Manchester Arena is the unbeaten Oleksandr Usyk, and on the line are the Ukrainian's IBF, WBO, WBA and WBC cruiserweight titles.

    We can't wait for this one.
