Former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua watched as Badou Jack scored a cruiserweight victory on a fight night surrounded by luxury cars in Dubai.
In his last fight, Joshua lost to Oleksandr Usyk. He was accompanied ringside by music god Will.i.am and British boxing legend Prince Naseem Hamed at ‘The Space.’
The star-studded crowd watched on as former Floyd Mayweather fighter Jack moved closer to a world title shot at a third weight. As expected, ‘The Ripper’ made light work of Samuel Crossed.
Also, on the bill, London’s Ohara Davies recorded a win over Nicholas Mwangi. His opponent displayed immense courage and desire with a gritty performance.
