    Vintage Lomacheko, he made no effort to move his head out of the way of a couple of jabs. We’ve seen that before. He’s gearing up.

    Big left hand from Lomachenko is followed by a powerful body shot and the Ukrainian is starting to turn up the heat.

    Campbell responds by getting back on the front foot. He throws a few punches but Lomachenko's movement is so quick and they are not landing.

    I’d give that to Vasyl Lomachenko. It’s still not a bad round for Luke Campbell but the Ukrainian stalks people and puts them on edge. His style is awkward to fight against.

    That right jab from Lomachenko looks like that it is going to cause trouble for Campbell, despite the Briton having a five-inch reach advantage.

    A double jab from Lomachenko landed, both beautifully, but that leads to the first rise in noise from the Campbell supporters, getting behind the Hull man,

    Vasyl Lomachenko is beginning to up his work rate and the punches are getting sharper. That was a good finish to the round for him.

    Lomachenko, like a predator stalking his prey, edges closer to Campbell as he starts finding ways around Campbell's reach.

    Lomachenko gets a few jabs through and this is the big test now for Campbell - how does he react?

    The Brit lands a couple of body shots to give him some encouragement but that was strong round from Lomachenko as he ends with a quick combo.

    This is often the way Vasyl Lomachenko works. He likes to take a look. He's keeping Luke Campbell busy and there are just signs he's warming to the task.

    This is how I expected it to go. Vasyl Lomachenko may take a look in the first couple of rounds and he may lose them.

    Class knows class. An overhand left from Luke Campbell with 30 seconds remaining landed and got a nod of appreciation from Lomachenko. That was the highlight of a mainly cagey opener.

    It was a brilliant end to the round for Luke Campbell. He was getting through in the last 30 seconds.

  12. Round 1published at 22:52 British Summer Time 31 August 2019

    Campbell straight on the offensive, using his height and reach to his advantage from the outset with a few quick jabs in an effort to unsettle his opponent.

    Lomachenko is keeping back, sizing up Campbell and looking for any weaknesses. Campbell giving nothing away in the early stages.

    Roars of encouragement as Campbell lands a solid left hook just before the bell rings. Great start by Campbell.

    Vasyl Lomachenko has made a very calm composed start.There's been nothing of any significance landed yet though. It's the scouting report.

    Here come the final instructions from the referee. Luke Campbell is still looking very cool. His task is very simple, to pull off one of the biggest shocks in British boxing history.

    Eddie Hearn said this might be the only time we see Lomachenko in the United Kingdom.

    As he makes his way to the ring, this really has the feel of a very special night, yet another one in Britain. An incredible atmosphere at the O2 Arena.

    Both men are in the ring and we've just had the national anthems.

    All that's left is for Michael Buffer to do his thing and get this fight under way.

    Vasyl Lomachenko is an enigma, he's the matrix. That's what they call him. I'm really excited about seeing him here. Luke Campbell is up against it.

    Vasyl Lomachenko is the quickest ever to win world title’s in three weight divisions. Britain's Anthony Crolla spoke with wonderment about what he could do.
