    I think that's the best round Daniel Dubois has ever boxed in his life. He was hitting the target every time he threw it.

    Round 7 - Dubois v Miller

    Dubois lands a right, but then eats a left seconds later. Miller has a cut lip, but, as he has tried to do all night long, is trying to walk the Briton down.

    Dubois has had a good couple of rounds, with Miller, mouth wide open, gasping for air when he sits on his stool at the end of the seventh.

    This fight is a 10-rounder so four more to go.

    Round 6 - Dubois v Miller

    The minute in between the fifth and sixth looks to have given Dubois a much-needed chance to get a bit of energy.

    Dubois manages to show better movement compared to the previous few rounds, but the punches are just bouncing off the durable American.

    "Quick hands", is the call from the Dubois camp. A better sixth from Dubois, which was very much needed after he had looked in a lot of bother in the fourth and fifth.

    Can Dubois sustain the pace he needs to box at? I thought he switched off a couple of times in that round.

    I'm worried for Dubois at this stage but thankfully Miller is as tired as him.

    This is exactly how I thought this fight would be. I can't separate them.

    Round 5 - Dubois v Miller

    Both men are looking absolutely shattered and at the end of the fifth it turned into a one-punch-apiece brawl.

    The speed Dubois was showing earlier on looks to have evaporated away. Both men look like they are running on empty.

    One punch could finish this, but for who?

    Round 4 - Dubois v Miller

    A bit of damage around the Dubois eye.

    It is a relentless night for both men, neither man is taking a step back and having to work throughout all three minutes so far. How much is this going to be taking out of both men?

    Miller with a two-punch combination and both land. That's the American's best moment of the fight so far and he's probably taken this round

    How can Dubois cope with these punches? He was floored three times in a crazy first round just over a year ago at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium against previously unknown South African Kevin Lerena, but then came back to win it a couple of rounds later.

    Dubois is going to have to dig deep again.

    Miller is asserting this pressure consistently. Dubois isn't being bullied though.

    Round 3 - Dubois v Miller

    Great start to the third from Dubois, landing an uppercut inside the opening 20 seconds. That could well be the punch to look for.

    Miller then is quicker to the jab than Dubois and lands twice in quick succession. Dubois again sends in a low shot, inside the last 10 seconds, but gets away with that one.

    This is going to be an exhausting evening for Dubois. Miller has thrown 10 punches so far, and landed all of them.

    This is such intelligent pressure we're seeing from Miller. It's mentally tiring for Dubois.

    We are seeing Miller get closer to Dubois.

    Round 2 - Dubois v Miller

    Miller twice tries to land a couple of uppercuts in the second and use his substantial weight to lean on and tire out his opponent.

    But Dubois lands a couple of jabs, although Miller is starting to swing from the hips, ending the second strongly and connecting with a few warning shots.

    Dubois won't be able to take many of them.

    Dubois started the way I thought he should with his feet moving in and out.

    Miller is trying to walk him down.

    The only "celebrity" I have seen in Riyadh this week is, erm, reality TV star Joey Essex.

    But all that will change tonight. UFC star Conor McGregor and football icon Cristiano Ronaldo are expected to be in attendance. I've heard whispers tennis great Novak Djokovic will also be here.

    Round 1 - Dubois v Miller

    .Image source, Matchroom

    So here we go. Daniel Dubois will need to be super quick against an opponent six stone heavier. And it is a good start from the Brit, who catches the American early on.

    Miller is in the middle of the ring, but Dubois is dancing around him, landing at regular pace in the opener.

    A low one from Dubois, that's what proved costly and so controversial against Oleksandr Usyk, but just a warning here from the ref.

    A dominant first three minutes from the Briton, with Miller hardly landing anything.
