LOWDOWN ON THE FIGHT UNDERCARD

-

(2am) Having relocated to the Big Bear mountains under the watchful eye of Gennady Golovkin’s trainer Abel Sanchez, Joyce (above) has won his six profession­al fights by stoppage. The American has had only four fights in five years – and lost two. (3.30am) Victory for Brit Jason Welborn (above, right) would rank among the biggest upsets in history with world champion Hurd the prohibitiv­e 1/100 favourite to retain his light-middleweig­ht titles. Welborn relinquish­ed his British middleweig­ht belt to move down in weight. Hurd has won all his 22 fights. (2.45am) Cuban Luis Ortiz was beaten for the first time when he was stopped by Deontay Wilder in March but not before he gave the champion an almighty fright. He returned to knock out Razvan Cojanu and should have few problems.
