Tyson Fury Easily Beats Kevin Johnson, Eubank Wins
Odyssey Arena, Belfast, Northern Ireland - Chris Eubank Jr. took a points victory on the televised undercard over measuring stick opponent Bradley Pryce, winning 80-73 on the sole scorecard of the referee. Eubank, a middleweight/super middleweight prospect who is the son of the former middleweight and super middleweight titleholder, outboxed Pryce for most of the fight, often working behind his jab and circling around the ring. Pryce would come forward, not throwing enough but maintaining pressure. He was rarely able to land cleanly on Eubank when he did throw; Eubank was often easily able to dodge or slip punches or merely move away from the shots. While Eubank's defense was too good for Pryce's offense, Eubank's offense wasn't enough to keep Pryce from coming forward or to break him down. Eubank would land jabs, one-twos or the occasional flashy-looking three-punch combination. Pryce, meanwhile, presented enough of a threat to keep Eubank working.
