And with virtually no fanfare Portlaoise's TJ Doheny wins the IBF super-bantamweight world title after beating Ryosuke Iwasa in Tokyo earlier today

Didn't realise that about Doheny at all, first i heard of it was when Frampton gave him a shout out on his great achievement at the press conference.

Fair play to him, he was at one stage being talked about as a possible opponent for Frampton (would need to step up in weight to do so) but then the world title shot must have materialised.

I see BoxRec has him listed as Australian and not Irish !

Anyone making the trip to Windsor this weekend ?

I know board member Don Johnson was until he had the permission slip revoked after a spot of misbehavior !

Apparently it is going to be a sell out.

Paddy Barnes won't have many better opportunities to win a world title, hopefully he can edge a decision. Frampton's victory should be pretty routine.

Wilder and Fury will most likely steal the show and get up to some WWF style antics in the ring after Fury's fight.

I heard Billy Joe Saunders threw half a chicken at Deontay Wilder in Nando's. 😂

I've neber seen a boxer in so much distress from a bodyshot. It was some bodyshot.

Boxers usually take them better than that.

He probably saved himself some punishment too, opponent looked too strong for him. Big puncher for 8 stone

Hopefully this Wilder fight is announced and we can see what he's really like. For my money he got lucky against Klitschko the Wilder fight will tell a tale!

Depends on where it lands and how good a punch it is. Looked like it was right on the liver.

Barnes was out of his depth tonight (and is at the top level in the professional game anyway) but you can't criticise him for not being able to take a shot like that.
