Yes he has, according to BBC live text anyway at least.

I’m happy for his son as he was in tears in his interview with Steve Bunce earlier in the week about it.

 

[James]

Eubank Sr is still a class act. The way he presents himself & his articulate opinion has been great this week.

 

[Tredman]

Connor Benn is proper tough.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Yeah not sure how he stayed up thayt round

 

[Jack Regan]

Usyk pretty much destroyed Dubois inside of five rounds.

 

[North Shropshire Lad]

Given how Dubois destroyed Joshua, I thought he could run Usyk close. He was in the fight but Usyk was another level.
Way better [Usyk] than the credit he gets and an all time great

 

[Tredman]

What a depressing bunch for a final fight. Dubois would beat them all.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Parker has earned his opportunity.

Only real challenge to Usyk now is Itauma. Different level that kid.

I think he will miss Usyk, too early for him now but by the time he’s ready Usyk will be calling it a day

 

[Templeton Peck]

Itauma is the real deal.

 

[Sniffer]

What a gesture to make.

Surprised Wardley is fighting Parker, Wardley isn't at that level.

Well it was some contest and Wardley came out on top.

Massive shock. Didn't think he had it in him. He's earned his shot at Usyk.
