Comments

• "I have been working for this for so long. I started boxing twenty years ago and had my first amateur fight eighteen years ago. It means so much and I would like to dedicate this to my brother Michael (who died in 2008) who is always looking over me." - Selby
• "I caught Gradovich and I wobbled him. I didn't bother following up, I was going to break him down. He is a similar fighter to my last opponent Joel Brunker so I was planning on breaking him down but we had two accidental clashes of heads and that stopped the fight." - Selby
