Result up next

My Mate Nate found his range and used his jab, throwing a lot of punches.
Whindersson Nunes went for the power shots and tried to knock him down.
Let’s see how the judges score this. For me, it’s My Mate Nate or a draw.
The most respectful fight ever?
It’s no secret that My Mate Nate may be the nicest guy in the crossover boxing scene.
He brought Whindersson Nunes Thai sweets in the press conference.
Each time the bell goes, he puts his glove out to fist bump his opponent too.
KSI is here
Here comes the nightmare.
KSI is in the building. He fights in the main event against Tommy Fury later.
My Mate Nate starting strong
My Mate Nate has shown some good footwork in the first round.
He has a strong jab and looks to be the better boxer technically.
Whindersson Nunes is one scary guy though.
Ryan Taylor is here
Ryan Taylor was supposed to face Swarmz in a prelim fight earlier today.
However, he was arrested in the build-up and took to X to admit that he couldn’t make weight after being in jail ahead of the fight.
He’s made it to the U.K. from Dubai though, and he’s watching on.
It could’ve been so different for Swarmz, who was knocked out by Ed Matthews just 30 seconds in.
UP NEXT: Whindersson Nunes vs My Mate Nate
Next up is the Brazilian star Whinderson Nunes. He has over 60,000,000 followers on Instagram alone.
He takes on My Mate Nate.
Both of these fighters lost to King Kenny in the Kingpyn tournament earlier this year.
TAG TEAM RESULT: DRAW
Pineda Coladas and WassabiLMAO in the tag team event ends in a draw.
It’s probably fair, but Alex Wassabi vs Luis Pineda could have been a bout of it’s own, while I’d have loved to have seen B-Dave take on NichLmao himself.
Eddie Hearn is here
Eddie Hearn said in recent days that his kids were begging to be in attendance tonight.
Turns out he’s given in – he’s arrived!

The action so far
The prelims provided great entertainment earlier.
We started off with DTG vs SX, with DTG coming out on top with a first round knock-out.
Then came the Women’s Flyweight clash as Astrid Wett came out on top by a split decision, which caused some discussion in the arena.
Tempo Arts took the Misfits Heavyweight title, with another controversial decision.
Then came Ed Matthews, who took the fight on just a few days’ notice – and knocked Swarmz out just 30 seconds in.
Undercard underway!
What a first round it’s been in the first round of the tag team match up.
We’ve seen Alex Wassabi drop Luis Pineda and make him bleed from the nose before B-Dave was tagged in and dropped Wassabi himself.
