In just his 16th professional fight, Okolie used his height and reach to never allow Poland's Glowacki close. He started unloading his right hand in the fourth and looked completely at ease against a former world champion.

Cordina, 29, looked a little ring rusty after a 17-month hiatus as he beat a lively opponent at Wembley Arena. The undefeated super featherweight, a former standout amateur, was given a tough test by Kourbanov who landed some decent shots in a 10-round contest. Cordina took a close decision 96-96, 98-93 and 96-95 on the judges' cards.

Paul, 26, lost his only previous professional fight in 2019.

The light-heavyweight, a bronze medallist for Great Britain at the 2016 Olympics, was dominant in only his second outing since August 2019. He floored Dos Santos with a flurry in round two, and a hard right knocked the Frenchman out in the fourth.

The pair looked set for a highly-anticipated meeting in August, but an arbitration hearing ruled Fury must first face American Deontay Wilder. "You've let boxing down. You lied to the fans and led them on. Used my name for clout not a fight," tweeted Joshua. In response, Fury challenged Joshua to a bare-knuckle fight. The teams behind the two British heavyweights have engaged in lengthy negotiations to get what has been billed as one of the biggest fights in heavyweight boxing for decades over the line.

"I'm no longer young. I have decided to end my career," said the Russian, 41. Povetkin was WBC interim heavyweight champion until he was stopped by Briton Dillian Whyte in a rematch in March. It was the third defeat of a career which yielded 36 wins, with the other losses to Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko.

The Scot's unanimous points win over Jose Ramirez in Las Vegas last month made him the first British fighter to hold all four belts in any division. Taylor, 30, says he has "lots of options" at both light-welterweight and the higher weight grade.

WINTER IS COMING Joined: 7 March 2006 Posts: 45,597 User: 88	AJ was well beaten. Thought Usyk boxed really well - AJ looks like he's lost loads of power since he first came on the scene. He's over coached now, not sure he is that good technically. He's better when he just uses raw power. Hearn must be rubbing his hands with the rematch!

He's better when he just uses raw power. Hearn must be rubbing his hands with the rematch! Joshua was too negative, he needed the KO. He was never going to outbox a great technical boxer like Usyk. Joshua seems more cautious now since he got hurt against Ruiz in New York.
