Round seven

Chapman is running out of time to make the necessary changes here.

She jabs to the body, in a smarter move, but Nicolson times a counter cross very well.

Now a naked cross, but Chapman can’t stop it.

Round eight

Chapman said before this fight that she can knock out Nicolson. Well, she needs to!

The challenger tries to corner Nicolson, who stays light on her feet and skips into space.

Both women land left hooks before tying up. They separate, and Nicolson connects again with a left hook on the turn.

Round five

Chapman continues to press forward, with Nicolson still content to counter. Another rear uppercut lands for the champion.

Into the second half of the fight. More counter hooks from Nicolson, although Chapman catches her on the end of a right cross.

Nicolson is smiling, looking like she’s having the time of her life.

Round three

Southpaw Nicolson finally sits down on a shot, and that gets a reaction out of Chapman.

Oh! Well-timed counter from Nicolson. This is better from the Aussie.

A rear uppercut catches out Chapman now. And a hook. Nicolson has found her rhythm.

Chapman with a decent right hand, though, leaping in.

Round four

Will I ever get through one of these events without writing, “These two-minute rounds really fly by”? No.

Into the fourth round of 10. Nicolson with a counter left hook, but Chapman gets through with a right hook.

Nicolson taxes Chapman on a couple of over-eager entries by the Briton.

Rounds one and two

A bit of an aggressive start from Chapman, who is pressing forward and keeping Nicolson thinking.

The featherweights briefly grapple, with Chapman landing a decent right hand before that clinch and one after.

There’s a bit of the Whittaker fight in this bout: Nicolson, the favoured fighter, isn’t off to the sharpest start.

Anyway, the undercard continues!

Skye Nicolson defends the WBC women’s featherweight title against Raven Chapman.

Both fighters are unbeaten. Chapman represents Britain, Nicolson fights out of Australia.

Whittaker is now on his stool in the corner, being asked if he wants to continue.

His leg is getting checked. He seems to be in some discomfort. Is it the leg, or a nerve issue from his back?

Some observers will feel like Whittaker is looking for a way out, but either way, the fight is going to the scorecards!

This could be very close. It was trending in Cameron’s direction, but did he do enough across those five rounds to get the win...?

Whittaker won’t be in the ring for the reading of the scorecards; he’s been taken away in a wheelchair!

Ben Whittaker and Liam Cameron fight to split draw (technical decision; 58-57, 57-58, 58-58).

How is that a draw? Where was the 10-8 round???

Round five

Approaching the midway point of this 10-round fight.

Cameron is talking some trash to Whittaker when they’re clinching, it seems.

Whittaker is taken to the corner by the referee, after Cameron’s team complain about a low blow. The ref warns Whittaker that he’ll be deducted a point if he does it again.

Cameron is landing almost at will now, and... what’s this?!?! As the bell sounds, the fighters tumble over the top rope and onto the ring apron! I’ve never seen that before, except in WWE!

Cameron eventually stands, but Whittaker is still down!

Round four

The light-heavyweights trade jabs, before Cameron throws a one-two upstairs then a left hook to the body.

There’s some phone-booth fighting, with each man leaning on the other and unfurling body shots.

Lovely combination from Cameron now, mixing up targets – head and body. Cameron tries to fire back with a right hook, but he’s totally off-balance.

Don’t get me wrong, Whittaker is still boxing well, but he’s absorbed the most damage we’ve seen in his pro career so far. He’s tagged by two hooks upstairs, only partially blocking them.

“If you are what you say you are, a superstar...” The lyrics of “Superstar” by Lupe Fiasco ring around the arena. Are you listening, Ben?

Round three

Whittaker is starting to land with increasing frequency, and power, now. His right cross especially is getting through.

Those marks around Cameron’s eyes are worsening slightly, particularly on the left side.

But the underdog is still doing decent work here and there, using his experience and weight to get the most out of the clinches.

Two right hands from Cameron now! A hook and a straight. But Whittaker stays calm and comes back, forcing Cameron to the ropes and letting his hands go.
