    Callum: Ignoring the ridiculous decision, GGG v Canelo 2. Loma v Linares & Crawford v Benavidez Jr were also great. Excited for #FramptonWarrington, external, could be a contender for fight of the year, let’s see.

    Well it's off to a great start Callum...

    Both men trading vicious punches. Frampton came off the worst in the exchange and that definitely surprised him.

    Manchester - round 1: Josh Warrington v Carl Frampton

    An incredible opening round from Warrington, but that was a blur of lefts and rights from Warrington, albeit an energy-sapping passage. Frampton fought back later in the round. He had been the favourite, despite Warrington being the champion.

    If it carries on like that this is going to be very, very special. Into round 2.

    Boos for Dillian Whyte as the Chisora chants continue! Not that he's bothered...

    Jaws rings out, followed by the wolf howl and here comes the Body Snatcher.

    Big fan of that royal blue and white robe, hope it's not too late to stick one on my Christmas list.

    This is dramatic. Frampton is shaken and Warrington has gained the upper hand.

    Manchester - round 1: Josh Warrington v Carl Frampton

    An incredible onslaught in the opening 90 seconds from Warrington. A brilliant start. Frampton was caught with a few as Warrington threw everything he had early on. Frampton stumbled backwards across the ring, but stayed on his feet.

    Never, not even in Belfast, have I heard a Carl Frampton ring walk that loud.

    Warrington's? Same again, a Leeds United song going into the Kaiser Chiefs.

    The noise is absolutely stunning.

    Whether you're supporting Frampton, Warrington or you're just a neutral, please enjoy this. This is why we love sport.

    Countdown time at the O2, montage of the first fight between these two on the big screen... and now entering the arena to Hotel California will be Dereck Chisora.

    "Oh, Dereck Chisora is the cry..."

  13. 'Dereck is like a stream train'published at 22:31 Greenwich Mean Time 22 December 2018

    Whyte v Chisora

    David Haye, Dereck Chisora's manager: "Derek has had opportunities in the past but hasn't capitalised. Experience tells him that he needs to work hard, and sacrifice.

    "I have felt his power and presence and ferocity in the ring.

    "He realises a performance like he produced two years ago won't be good enough to beat the 2018 version of Whyte. The heat brought to Dillian will put him in an uncomfortable zone.

    "He will be let off the leash to do some serious damage. I like the energy and intensity of both fighters. Both teams believe they will win this, but I'm glad to be on Team Chisora.

    "Derek is like a stream train going full steam ahead. This fight can only be better than last time, they're both fitter and faster.

    "It's got everything to be another fight of the year."

    Leeds! Leeds! Leeds! That Marching On Together song is the soundtrack to Leeds United matches and Josh Warrington's ambitions and dreams came true at their Elland Road earlier this year with a win over Lee Selby..

    Can he hold on to his IBF World Featherweight Championship? Here he comes. Cracking atmosphere in Manchester.

    Manchester - Josh Warrington v Carl Frampton

    First of our main four to come into the ring is Carl Frampton. Very rarely, he is outnumbered in terms of fans. He flings his arms in the air and looks ready as he prepares his ring walk, accompanied to "I wish it could be Christmas every day". Very festive.

    His ideal Christmas present is that IBF World Featherweight Championship, which is currently in the possession of Josh Warrington.

    We'll get both fights at the same time, but don't you worry you're in safe hands. We'll bring you all the action, on a round-by-round basis from both Manchester and London.

  20. 'A fantastic contest'published at 22:25 Greenwich Mean Time 22 December 2018

    Manchester - Josh Warrington v Carl Frampton

    Mike Costello
    BBC Sport boxing correspondent at Manchester Arena

    This is a fantastic contest. Warrington is again going in as the underdog. Frampton is roughly 1-2 with bookmakers but Warrington beat an established champion in Lee Selby and I'm not sure he is getting the credit he deserves for that win at Elland Road in May.

    But I have a hunch that Frampton is an occasion fighter and maybe gets up for the bigger names.
