Kalle said at the weigh in yesterday that it’s 11pm sharp, CET time, 12 in Russia. Is that not 11pm UK too?

Just bought it. Obviously would prefer it to be free but got no major problems paying £10 for a fight this good. One of the best fights of the year on paper, if not the very best. 2 entertaining, undefeated, unified world champions putting it all on the line.

Leaning slightly towards Usyk on points. Interesting to see how it plays out though. You tend to think of Gassiev as being on the front foot stalking his opponent, but he spent a lot of time with his back on the ropes against Dorticos. Dorticos was loading up a bit too much with his 1-2s and Gassiev blocked most of them with his tight guard. I'd expect Usyk to have a bit more creativity in terms of his foot movement and punch selection if Gassiev stays on the ropes tonight, he'd probably look to manipulate his guard with volume rather than try to blast straight through it. So I think Gassiev might have to be a bit more aggressive than he was in his semi final and try to draw Usyk into exchanges, which happened against Briedis.

Before the tournament I'd have picked Usyk with more confidence than I do tonight. That's not a knock on him, he was excellent vs Huck and just because the Briedis fight was closer than expected, I think Briedis deserves credit for that instead of Usyk's stock taking a hit. My doubts over this fight are more to do with how impressive Gassiev has looked. His shot selection against Dorticos was superb. Did some great work, particularly with his left hand. Throwing hooks and uppercuts off the jab. He seems to have great timing and sense of distance, you rarely see him falling short with his shots. He's got underrated defence and was often using little head movements to get his feet into range and go to work, was a brilliant performance and a devastating left hook that set up the finish.

Anyone scoring FC vs NM ?

It's a tough fight to score, I'm favouring NM but probs 'cos I'm biased.
(bet on NM by dec).

Well I ordered it on ITVbox office.com & It’s recording fine on the skybox so I don’t know what they’re going on about there

Tried to order via Sky Box Office having previously ordered ITV Box office events, such as Groves-Eubank. Couldn't order it.

Re-signed up again via ITV Box office account, kept telling me 9 digit Sky Viewing card number was incorrect, despite me checking and re-entering.

Then thought 'what if it's because my Sky account is registered in my Mrs's name, so went through same process again and she registered, told again sky viewing card number is wrong'. Threw sky card across the lounge and wallet. Logged onto a football streaming site to see the fight was on there. Clicked it on, now watching live..... on ITV Box Office in HD. Perfect.

I don't deliberately try and avoid paying for box-office events, irrespective of the morality, but f**k me ITV made it impossible to take my tenner off me tonight.

Looking at FC-NM, it seems, that even wide objective score isn't enough for Usyk.
