  1. 'The violence is what excites me'

    Allen v Price & Whyte v Rivas

    Dillian Whyte loves it and, yes, he probably did say it primarily to scare his opponent - if the Colombian Oscar Rivas standing at 184cm and weighing 239.2 pounds does scare easily.

    Whyte, 31, has been on a nine-contest winning streak since his loss to Anthony Joshua by technical knockout back in 2016.

    The WBC ranks 'The Body Snatcher' as its number one so where's all the big talk about a multi-million dollar fight against those heavyweights who command multi-million dollar paydays?

    Anyway, maybe victory later will secure that major fight.

    Before that we have the all-Brit affair between Dave Allen and David Price, who won gold at the 2006 Commonwealth Games and bronze at the 2008 Olympics but never really fulfilled his potential.

    Seconds away round one...
