Well that was fun.

Two pretty dominant performances to round off a somewhat chaotic week.

Jack Catterall delivered in Liverpool to beat Jorge Linares by unanimous decision.

Catterall is well on track to getting another world title shot but will he take on old foe Josh Taylor to try and settle that score first?

And hats off to Isaac Chamberlain who dominated Mikael Lawal to take the British cruiserweight belt at York Hall.

After a stunning performance from Isaac Chamberlain to beat Mikael Lawal for the British cruiserweight title, why not hear from the man himself about how to land the perfect counterpunch.

Jack Catterall speaking to 5 live: “Listen, he went to Vegas, came over here, the full team. We knew he was going to bring it tonight.

"I’m my biggest critic, I probably could have done more tonight but the respect was there and it was valuable to get 12 rounds with a legend.

“He got into his rhythm, I hurt him in the middle rounds but he came back. He’s been in the sport for 30 years. He’s been the 12-round distance more than I’ve had fights so he knows how to get through a fight.

“I felt my timing was good tonight and he fell short a lot on his punches. I probably put too much pressure on myself. I was headlining tonight in Liverpool. I probably gave him too much respect but listen, lesson learned.

“Of course I would like that fight [Josh Taylor]. We need it to happen. All this week people are still talking about it like it was my last fight, and I’ve fought since then [Darragh Foley]. It’s a fight we need to settle."

Jorge Linares speaking on DAZN: “I felt amazing. It was exciting for myself. I was thinking I’m fighting a world champion, he’s a world champion.

"I don’t care if I lose or not, I care how I lose. I had three stupid losses but to lose to this guy I feel happy. I lost to a champion, the future generation.

"I feel this is my town, I love the people here. I hope in the future I can be here, but not fighting, maybe a promotor or something like that. I love England. I don't need to fight any more. I'm super happy with this fight."

British cruiserweight champion Isaac Chamberlain speaking to Sky Sports: "I just want to say, god is so good man., Every dog has it's day. I want to thank everyone of you who came out to support me today. I've got tears in my eyes. Straight out of Brixton.

"Keep trusting god and keep working hard. I had nine amateur fights and turned pro and guess what, I trusted god and I came good.

"When I was young I had low self-esteem but I started to believe in the ability I had. I had some niggles and injuries coming into this fight but I came through.

"Everyone fails at life, we just happen to do it in front of the whole world. You can always bounce back.

"You'll have to speak with Mick Hennessey and Ben Shalom. I want to take a break and relax."

Jack Catterall speaking on DAZN: "Taylor where are you? Let's have it. It’s personal now. He’s said some nasty things over the last 18 months and we’ve got some scores to settle."

Jack Catterall speaking on DAZN: "Listen, Linares has been over here and done it. I manged to do what I set out to do tonight and that's get the victory.

"I really enjoyed being in there tonight. He definitely still carries that power. When I did catch him I probably should have done more. The coach said don't make any silly mistakes. I'm happy to get that victory.

"Those 12 rounds with Linares will put me in good stead going forward. He's a legend and it was good experience being in there with him."

The judges confirm it, the scorecards read 119-111, 118-111, 118-111 for Chamberlain.

The Brixton local claims the British cruiserweight title with a steady performance.

Easier than many would have predicted, Lawal never got going.

Lawal comes out swinging. A left hand misses. Chamberlain bounces away and is on his toes now.

Chamberlain keeps it long when he can and smothers Lawal's shots in close. A body shot from Lawal pushes Chamberlain back.

With 10 seconds left Lawal tries to walk Chamberlain down and misses with a big shot. Chamberlain runs away and starts celebrating.

Surely no doubt with this one, we will soon have a new British cruiserweight champion.

You won't be surprised to hear that there's plenty of talk concerning a potential rematch between Jack Catterall and Josh Taylor.

"It's personal now, we've got a score to settle," Catterall says on DAZN.

Promoter Eddie Hearn says it could happen in 2024.

Chamberlain is certainly pulling the right hand. He backs Lawal onto the ropes and fires off some hooks, but there doesn't seem to be much sting in them.

Lawal is struggling to find success. So far his game plan hasn't worked. He's struggled to cope with Chamberlain's speed.

The opening he hoped for has not presented itself, can he produce a Hail Mary in the final round?

He misses big right at the end of this round and jeers ring out in York Hall.

That was fight number 56 for Jorge Linares - a three-weight world champion - but after losing his fourth successive fight he hints that it could be the end of the road.

Linares stops short of saying he's hanging up the gloves but admits he has to consider if he'll get back in the ring.

We'll bring the full post-fight comments from DAZN.

Crowd has gone a bit quiet at the York Hall. You can hear Chamberlain's corner shouting encourgaements at him but he comes back to the corner with a bombshell.

He says his right bicep is "torn". How could that affect him in these final two rounds?

A lot of respect between the two fighters when the final bell rang. They immediately walked to the middle of the ring and exchanged a hug and that respect has continued post-fight.

They stand side-by-side with their arm around each other.

Linares calls Catterall "a world champion".

Catterall says "it was an honour" to share a ring with Linares.

And the judges are quick to hand those scorecards over.

Two had it 116-112 to Catterall and the other was 117-111 in his favour.

I've got Chamberlain nine rounds up.

At the end of that fifth round I thought we saw what I'd expected to see and Jack would break Linares in the later rounds. Quite the reverse happened.

Linares in the last rounds found his range, and I thought he was superb. He didn't win it, but I thought he was superb.

Linares is happy, look at him. His stock has risen, bizarrely.

Both fighters are digging deep here. Chamberlain steps on the gas every now and then when he needs to. While Lawal is still desperately trying to find a big punch.

I say desperate, he doesn't look desperate at all, but surely he knows the rounds are slipping away?
