Hello and welcome to The Independent's live coverage of fight night at the O2 Arena!
We have a stacked night of boxing ahead of us, topped by Regis Prograis and Josh Taylor in the World Boxing Super Series.
Before then, Dereck Chisora fights David Price in a clash between British heavyweight favourites.
Stay tuned for all the night's action.
Tonight's card looks something like this:
Prograis vs Taylor (WBSS final, WBA and IBF super-lightweight titles)
Chisora vs Price
Ricky Burns vs Lee Selby
Yves Ngabu vs Lawrence Okolie (cruiserweight European title)
Conor Benn vs Steve Jamoye
So strap in and enjoy, we'll have full coverage of each bout live from ringside!
OK, I've arrived and I'm at the O2!
While we wait for Benn to fight, have a read of Jack Rathborn's exclusive interview with him.
We just witnessed Shannon Courtenay beat Melinda Habran in a fight that was perhaps trickier than she'd have hoped.
Up next, Conor Benn.
Conor Benn wins by knockout!
The 23-year-old lands a devastating left to the head which knocks Jamoye out and he stays down.
He's treated by doctors and rises to his feet - thankfully.
Up next, Lawrence Okolie challenges Yves Ngabu for the European cruiserweight belt.
This presents a massive step up in competition for Okolie, who is making his way through the ranks at a steady pace.
He makes ring walk right now.
And here comes Ngabu! Walking out to “I got five on it”, banger to be fair.
Round one: Ngabu 9-10 Okolie
Okolie has clearly been working on his inside game and it’s showing, he’s working the body plenty and isn’t looking as awkward as he usually does when the fight isn’t at range.
Every punch he throws is hurting his opponent and he’s using his footwork well to get out of any situations where he’s too close. A good opening round for the Brit.
