Here is a video clip from inside the Odyssey arena on Saturday night. It illustrates the atmosphere of the occasion. We can safely say, Carl can easily fill the Odyssey arena, he is the most fervently supported local prizefighter I have seen in my lifetime. I think he wants to fill a soccer stadium next!
I made a massive blunder on Saturday night, I lifted an out of date ticket from my desk! They would not let me in! Had to get a taxi home to get the proper ticket, then run most of the way back to the Odyessy again. Absent mindedness is a sign of old age.
Here is a link to the full bout. The Sky broadcast is below if it works!!!

Note how Paul uses athletic endeavours to illustrate and teach Spiritual truth.
1 Cor 9:24-27
24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
