In the first three rounds it was close, and Cattell had an advantage. In the fourth round, Eubank had his best round, which makes him close.
In the sixth round they both went to the canvas for the second time. The remaining half a minute, the start of the head caused a nasty cutting of the right eyebrow Cattell. Eubank had a compact cut on his forehead.
Judge Williams finally came when Eubank hit Catteralla at the back of his head. Cattell went to the corner, where his corner tried to put a towel on cut when Judge Williams forced him to continue. Soon after, Catterall threw Eubanks on the canvas. Finally, Eubanks, feeling he won the fight, jumped on the ropes in the corner.
Between the rounds, the ring doctor checked the cut on Cattell. After a second at the beginning of the seventh judge, Bob Williams, called Halt.
The results are 69-65, 69-66 and 69-66.
In the main support, the former world champion of the IBF Olympic and IBO and IBO Super Feather, weighing Joe Cordina (18, 9 Kos), defeated Jaret Gonzalez (17-2, 13 Kos) by a unanimous decision to win a free global title of WBO lightweight.
In the first round, Cordina returned from her first loss in her last fight and fourteen months of inaction. He controlled the first round, but Gonzalez held his own. In the last minute of the second round of Cordin, she shook Gonzalez with her right chin.
In the third and fourth rounds, Cordina won all four rounds, leaving the strenuous Gonzalez. In the fifth minute Gonzalez landed on the fear of blows, being the best crime so far. At the end of the round of Cordin, she pulled him out.
In the last seconds of the seventh round a pair of right mountains from Cordina to the middle role of Gonzalez. One of the commentators was repeated by Quiros, although presented as Gonzalez, and on the Gonzalez screen.
In the eighth and ninth Cordina won, but Gonzalez, in her first ten -year -old, turned out to be a good opponent of Cordina.
The results are 100-90, 99-91 and 98-92. Marcus McDonald was a judge.
The lithe Aqib Fiaz (14-1, 2 KO) defeated Alex Murphy (13-2) a 10-round unanimous decision in full fight.
In the first round it was all action. In the second round, Fiaz continued to press Murphy, who counted him well. In the third round, Murphy landed to the right in the last minute, causing a fiaza cut under his left eye.
In the fourth round it went there back, and Fiaz wounded Murphy in the last minute with a shot, just to make Murphy count his own shot. In the sixth round of the Right of Murphy and the stab worked all the time. At the last moment Fiaz landed well in combinations and a left hook.
In the seventh round, in the last minute, Murphy started attacking without moving around the ring and shooting well against Fiaz. In the ninth round Fiaz seems to still work on the body, because Murphy’s range brings him coverage, because it looks like he was ahead of us, but the draw would not surprise anyone.
In the tenth and final round they both continued it, just like in the first round. Fiaz working in the body and counteracting Murphy will make it complex to call judges.
Then they both talked to each other, waiting for the decision. Fiaz attracts it to my surprise.
The results were 97–93, 96-94 and 96-95. Steve Gray was a judge.
Heavyweight heavyweight Pat Brown (3-0, 3 KO) stopped Lewis Oakford (6-3, 2 KO) at 2:06 the first of the planned eight rounds.

Super Bantamweight Skye Nicolson (13-1, 2 KO) knocked out Carl “La Princess” Camila Campos Gonzales (9-4, 8 KO) at 1:21 of the second round of the 8 × 2 rounds planned.
In the second round, Nicolson wounded Gonzales, forcing judge John Latam to stop.
The super weight of the average Niall Brown (16-0, 6 KO) stopped Victor Ionascu (14-7, 10 KO) at the end of the fourth round of the planned six rounds.

In the first round, because of the collision of heads, Middlemiss was cut to the left eye.
Paulie Malignaggi has offered his reaction to a reported clash between Shakur Stevenson and Manny Pacquiaowhich could feature on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua.
The all-British heavyweight showdown is expected to take place on December 11, headlining an event at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.
That is, of course, if Fury and Joshua actually make it to the ring, as despite it being announced earlier this week, The Ring’s Mike Coppinger has since reported that their fight is in jeopardy.
Prior to that, it had emerged that an encounter between Stevenson and Pacquiao – between whom there is a near two-decade age gap – was being planned for the same night in Wales.
Should it come to fruition, this would represent Stevenson’s first outing since signing with Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing, who he joined after dethroning Teofimo Lopez with a unanimous decision victory in January.
Pacquiao, meanwhile, has not fought since his draw with Mario Barrios in July 2025, when he ended a near four-year layoff and almost claimed the WBC welterweight title.
Yet despite that surprisingly impressive performance, former world champion Malignaggi has emphasised on his YouTube channel that, against Stevenson, the 47-year-old would be facing an entirely different competitor.
“Manny Pacquiao-Shakur Stevenson has no place on this card; [it] has no place in big-time boxing. I am completely befuddled.
“[I’m] disappointed in Stevenson; [I’m] disappointed in Zuffa, obviously. These are ‘click bait’ type of fights. These are names that draw attention, so you can get people to watch. Then the fight’s a dud and all these casuals sit there complaining about boxing, telling you why boxing’s dead.”
Malignaggi went on to credit Pacquiao with being “competitive against the worst world champion I’ve ever seen in my life”, emphasising a considerable difference between Barrios and Stevenson.
