Speaking to anyone in the build-up to tonight’s undisputed light-heavyweight title fight, you struggled to get a firm steer on how they thought this bout might play out.

Beterbiev.

The fight certainly didn’t underwhelm and some of the debate in the aftermath might mean we get the chance to see them do it all over again. Here’s hoping!
