Quite a surprising result there with the wide scorecards but it’s hard to completely disagree, it could have gone one way or the other and it’s all about what you like to see.
Majority decision win for Selby.
Up next, the co-main event!
Dereck Chisora and David Price meet in a massive (literally) heavyweight contest.
The lights are in the middle of the ring and Michael Buffer has the microphone in hand!
Heavyweight action coming up.
David Price is on his way to the ring.
And here comes Dereck Chisora! Huge ovation for the hometown favourite.
The crowd are singing and exploring Chisora on here! A typical O2/Chisora favourite crowd.
Round one: Chisora 10-9 Price
Chisora has stuck to his promise and is ‘throwing bombs’ immediately, getting up close and working the body which carries the huge frame of Price.
The big man responds towards the end of the round with a straight right which Chisora shakes his head at.
Round two: Chisora 20-18 Price
Chisora continues to work the body and strays low, which the referee doesn’t like and has a word with him for.
Good work from Chisora again, who unloads heavily to the body and head which gets a big response from the crowd.
Round three: Chisora 30-27 Price
Better from Price who gets in the kind of range good for his style and he manages to unleash a combination on his standing target. Chisora soon returns the favour and every time he lands, Price looks hurt.
What an end to the round! Chisora lands an overhand right and then looks to have Price out on his feet, who just survives. Could be close to an end here.
