    Sky Sports Action sees Conor Benn take another step up against Samuel Vargas at 147 lbs. Vargas is basic and average, but still may test Benn

    Two women’s world title fights at bantam and middle as well

    Shannon Courtenay vs Ebanie Bridges at bantam, and Savannah Marshall at middleweight..

    Could be a decent night!

    I really enjoy watching Kash Farooq box.
    Lovely style, lovely moves, lovely punch selection.
    I really think he can go quite far.

    Excellent fight. Great action throughout, even though the scorecard should be wide in Farooq's favour.

    Some scrap this. Battering the f**k out of each other. Love her or hate her Courteney is tough as hell to still be in there against somebody who is physically superior to her.

    I think the problem with the people who criticized the fight were complaining that these two were far too far down the pecking order to be fighting off for the vacated title. There were other fighters higher in the rankings that should be fighting for the title.

    But this is a great fight, and they both deserve huge credit.

    What a match up that was. SC very good in 9 and 10 very classy work. I think she’ll take it 7-3

    That can happen a bit for vacant belts. Ranked 8&9 these two. Shannon 8.

    Correct winner but Bridges is one tough lady. That eye looks gruesome.

    Not at all..

    3/4 close rds that could have gone either way..I felt Shannon was edging the rds with more shots landed and cleaner shots landed.

    She won in clearly I thought, albeit a very tough and competence fight!

    At the time of the fight being announced Courtenay wasn't even ranked with the WBA. Think Bridges was ranked 9th. Shouldn't have ever been approved but we all know why it was.

    No I agree she won but I had her winning by 3, 4 at a push but thought 6 was well wide. Some close rounds alright though
