Fury vs Usyk: Live updates and results

15:46:48
AHMADI DOWN!
A lovely left hook drops Ahmadi at the end of the eighth round. The success of Lowe also hurts him physically. He was injured again, his eye bleeding badly, he almost survived the round.
15:41:18
ISAC GOING OK?
Ahmadi has enjoyed it all week, and has been dismissed in the seventh round. Lowe punches very well from distance, but the work is getting more and more intense. A good jab is key for the Morecambe man.
15:28:55
COMBINATION OF BACK AND FRONT
Ahmadi has a wound on the side of his left eye. Referee Mark Bates kept them in check as Ahmadi rushed forward, no doubt worried about the injury.
Heads fly sometimes. Punch down hard and accurately, especially with the right hand. It looks decent here, Isaac. Can it keep pace?
15:20:13
A GOOD FIRST STEP
Lowe works well behind the jab and catches Ahmadi with an uppercut at times. The size difference is noticeable despite Lowe being a lighter man. Ahmadi taking the middle ring.
