Fawaz vs. James
A nice fight developing between Bilal Fawaz and Eithan James.
There was a clash of heads in Round 5 which didn't look great, but it was accidental.
Fawaz is probably ahead but James looks comfortable enough in there.

Welcome!

Whittaker is poised to become the next superstar of British boxing, meaning a win is vital.
The 29-year-old will have plenty of options should he emerge victorious, including a potential clash with David Benavidez further down the line at cruiserweight.
"Never say never," Whittaker told reporters this week.
"You seen the size of my dad, I'll be a heavyweight soon as well, you know what I mean? So it's just part of the game. He's a great fighter. For [Jose Benavidez Sr.] to message me and to be mentioned in interviews, of course, it's a privilege, but at the end of the day, I'm my own person.
"For me, I'm in my own lane, but I would like that fight down the road. So after this it's Burger King baby!"
"I want to make sure I dominate at my weight first.
"Light heavyweight is my weight. I did what I did at the amateurs at light heavyweight. I've stayed at light heavyweight as a pro. I want to do everything I possibly can here and then I would like to move up. I think it'd be good to go through the weights."
