What is the full fight card?
- Dereck Chisora vs Senad Gashi
- Josh Kelly vs Przemyslaw Runowski
- Joe Cordina vs Andy Townend
- Conor Benn vs Josef Zahradnik
- Shannon Courtenay vs Roz Mari Silyanova
Round four:
Kelly gets caught by a straight right but literally laughs it off - he's comfortable and confident but coach Adam Booth surely won't be too pleased with his antics if they carry on much longer.
Runowski is showing that he's tough and while he may not be as talented, is here for the fight.
Kelly landed more so he takes the fourth.
Round five:
Kelly needs to start applying himself much more here. He's winning the rounds but needs to start stepping up the gears if he wants to impress and take this one convincingly.
Runowski keeps coming forward but isn't landing much.
Round six:
Kelly has a slight cut below his right eye but is still commanding things here as Runowski tries to throw at him with an impressive work ethic.
A quieter round.
Round seven:
Kelly stepping on the gas a bit more now, less showboating and more combination work but again, the Pole keeps coming forward and is aiming for that cut.
Every time Runowski lands, Kelly is less than impressed and shrugs it off.
Round eight:
Kelly looks almost confused at the fact Runowski keeps coming forward. Anything thrown is answered back and the Matchroom fighter might be thinking he needs to step things up slightly.
He ends the round with a straight left. Again, Runowski isn't landing much but that isn't stopping him in any case.
Round nine:
How is this still going!? Runowski gets floored by a number of unanswered left hands and goes for the kill but can't quite bring it to an end.
Runowski takes a moment after what looks like a low blow but isn't ruled as one and we go into the final round.
Dillian Whyte is ringside as he looks to announce his next fight live in the ring after the conclusion of Kelly vs Runowski.
Round 10:
Runowski down again! A beautiful shot to the head and that's the third knockdown of the fight.
Some good work from Kelly in that fight, who looks to have won convincingly. We await the scorecards.
This is what going 10 rounds with Josh Kelly does to you, if you wondered.
