  1. Joshua with a solid right hand to the Usyk head. Much better from Joshua in the fifth.

  2. A cracking right to the body from Joshua is a small dent in the Usyk defence.

  3. Round 5

    A first attempted right-left combination from Joshua and the crowd, desperate for something to cheer, instantly raise their volume.

  4. 'Joshua needs to let that right hand go'

    Carl Froch
    Former world super-middleweight champion on BBC Radio 5 live

    Anthony Joshua needs to let go of that right hand, even if it is in the chest area so he can get his feet comfortable.

  5. 'Joshua needs urgency'

    Steve Bunce
    Boxing expert on BBC Radio 5 Live

    I expected a response, it was 90 seconds before he did any engaging. He has got to put a bit of urgency into his work.

  6. Round 4

    Joshua's best round of the fight so far, that's the fourth, but you could still give it either way. Usyk, who is a stone lighter than Joshua, is faster, getting in and out and moving fantastically well.

  8. Round 4

    Another jab from Usyk lands to the Joshua face. A big overhand from Joshua, maybe his best punch of the contest so far, lands, but Usyk was moving backwards so didn't take it at full whack.

  9. We're only a quarter of the way through this fight so there is still a long, long way to go in this one.

  10. 'Joshua stunned'

    Carl Froch
    Former world super-middleweight champion on BBC Radio 5 live

    It was a really good shot by Usyk that caught AJ and I think it stunned Joshua.

  11. Usyk ahead after three

    Usyk lands with a powerful shot to the head, Joshua momentarily hurt. But Joshua lands with a right hand in the final seconds of the third and that leads to a huge roar from the home fans.

    Three gone and Usyk, showing great footwork and being so mobile, is winning it so far.

  12. A jab from Usyk finds the Joshua face, springing in, springing out. Joshua is going to need to be at the very top of his game tonight.

  13. Usyk lands

    Usyk jumps forward and lands a left to the Joshua head. Good shot.

  14. 'Not letting the right hand go'

    Steve Bunce
    Boxing expert on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Cagey and tight and Anthony Joshua is not letting the right hand go. I would like to see him throw the jab as a range finder, touch Usyk's gloves, force them down and then land with the right.

  15. Round 3

    A very good start from Oleksandr Usyk.

  16. Joshua struggling to find his target

    Round 2

    A right to the body from Joshua and that briefly forces the Ukrainian on to the back foot. Joshua tries to find a right hook to blast his way through, but the Usyk gloves soak up its power.

  17. Usyk constantly moving

    Round 2

    Joshua has struggled to land anything meaningful so far, Usyk springing around in front of him, around him, but as we know Joshua has so much power.

  18. 'A very cagey round'

    Steve Bunce
    Boxing expert on BBC Radio 5 Live

    A very cagey round, it is so cagey that Usyk snuck in the best punch of the fight in seven seconds. Usyk is trying everything.

  19. Usyk starts well

    Round 1

    A right cross attempted from Joshua to the Usyk body, it misses. Usyk proving tricky to nail down in the opener and I have to say, I think the Ukrainian might have taken that first round.

  20. Usyk moving well

    Usyk, full of feints, quick on his toes, Joshua tries a swinging left but misses wildly.
