    he told Sky Sports: "I had a different mindset. When I first started I was infatuated by the attention and glamour, but I've switched my mindset. My coach said 'you have everything to go to the top and dominate."

    "You're going to see better and better opponents."

  • All over

    Two rounds, that all it took Riakporhe.

    Rhys Edwards summed up his win perfectly.

    He told Sky Sports after the fight: "I was against a very good fighter, but I got the 10 rounds, my first 10 rounder, and I got the win, that's what it's about."

    That's 15-0. Unreal.

    It's 15 not out for the Welshman Edwards, who defeats Foster.

  • Azim looks ready

    Adam Azim arrived over an hour.

    He looks very confident, knowing exactly what he needs to do.

  • That's naughty

    It's getting a bit tasty in the ring between Foster and Edwards.

    Foster landed a cheap shot after the bell had gone, and was a lucky boy not to be disqualified in the fourth.

    Edwards shook his head, but maybe that reaction was enough to allow the ref to be more lenient.

    Will that rile up Edwards?

  • Two rounds in

    We're just two rounds in on Rhys Edwards vs Brad Foster.

    Already, Foster is cut above left eye, which is clearly bothering him.

    Foster is fighting back, though. Don't be fooled.
