I think the Alex Dilmaghani fight on Saturday will take some beating. The pace of that fight was absolutely incredible. Iโ€™ve not seen a fight fought at that pace for some while. Tough to pick because there have been some crackers.

Former EBU champion

Iโ€™d say the best fight since lockdown was Terri Harper vs Natasha Jonas. It had everything; quality boxing, drama, people thought Harper won, some thought Jonas won. Just another great fight in womanโ€™s boxing.

There have been some ridiculous back-and-forth scraps like Taylor-Persoon and Harper-Jonas but for sheer drama and jaw-dropping action โ€“ one moment in particular โ€“ it has to be Whyte-Povetkin. The Russian had been down twice and then pulls that out of the bag, and he didnโ€™t even bother celebrating.

Terri Harper vs Natasha Jonas. Blood, sweat, skill and will, from the first bell until the last, and all rounded off with a desperately close and contentious decision. It had the lot.
