00:00 I want no kidney shots and I want you to keep them up.
00:03 In the event of a knockdown, the standing fighters
00:04 to go to Yusuf Korn, I'm gonna point to over there
00:06 or the one behind me.
00:08 Touch club boys, good luck to both of you.
00:10 - So here we go with the biggest night
00:16 of this man's professional life in Yusuf Dib
00:20 against a man who puts it all on the line tonight
00:25 in Marl Zelensky.
00:27 A big fight for these two lightweights
00:30 and they meet at center ring with Dib looking to the body
00:36 with his long range hijab in the early stages
00:40 of the opening round as Zelensky creeps forward as well.
00:43 And this will be a tactical battle
00:45 compared to what we've just seen.
00:47 - Yeah, it's gonna be a great fight.
00:49 I think, you know, this is gonna be the fight of the night.
00:51 And look, I've been blessed to have been at the gym
00:54 watching this kid spar against Hassan,
00:56 he's done everything right.
00:57 He's got a great corner in Billy Hussain
00:59 and Hussain Hussain and obviously
01:02 he's got the right bloodlines.
01:03 So yeah, it's up to him to put it on the table today
01:06 and show us all what he's got.
01:08 - And how's he looking to you in the early stages here,
01:10 his body language and the way he's moving, Billy?
01:13 - I like the way he's just controlling the ring right now.
01:16 Staying behind that jab,
01:17 that's what he's been working on in the gym.
01:20 We don't wanna get reckless early, you know,
01:21 we know that miles can punch and we need to just be smart
01:24 and make sure that he does the right job here.
01:26 - Well, that is the thing,
01:27 Miles Zalewski can seriously punch.
01:29 We've seen that on Fox Sports,
01:31 he's produced some memorable knockouts.
01:34 He is a powerful guy at lightweight.
01:38 - One of the great things about the DIP family,
01:39 they've got a great eye and he just watched early
01:41 in the fight where Yusuf made a miss a couple of times
01:44 with just a beautiful line,
01:45 evasiveness from his head and shoulders.
01:47 He needs to do that,
01:48 but it needs to make him pay when he does it as well.
01:51 - Both fighters watchful here.
01:53 - It's about getting some respect early too.
01:55 - And jabbing strongly is Zalewski
01:58 and coming back well with a jab of his own is Dib.
02:00 And there's Zalewski,
02:03 stepping towards and jabbing and he nods at Dib.
02:06 Now they just tangle awkwardly
02:11 and our referee Dean Cambridge has his first bit of work.
02:15 Zalewski using the ring and Dib is pressing forward.
02:25 Trying to lead the action.
02:26 - I like the tactical feel in this fight, Ben.
02:32 I like when I see guys using the jab
02:34 to establish their way in.
02:36 And I can see that from you right now
02:37 and Miles is doing the same thing at the moment.
02:40 - Very cautious right there.
02:43 Dib just tries to counter,
02:45 tries to take his opportunity,
02:47 then doubles up his jab as he steps towards Miles Zalewski.
02:50 - That was a nice slip, the right hand miss,
02:53 but it's right on the mark, right on the money there.
02:56 That's what he needs to do.
02:57 - He'll make a miss right now,
02:58 but later on as he wears down,
03:01 he'll start hitting him with that shot, yeah.
03:03 - And good shots.
03:06 From Dib on the inside,
03:09 Zalewski comes back and just turns around a left hand
03:12 and he jabs away as Dib moves backwards.
03:15 He tries to set something up there to Zalewski
03:19 and it's Dib that fires off
03:21 and then doubles up his own jab.
03:23 Three minutes down, the first round of this one.
03:28 A close and hard fought opener.
03:33 - Just tell him the way it is, it's great.
03:34 You gotta sit, yeah, you're doing really good.
03:37 You stretch with that jab,
03:38 get that back foot up a little bit more
03:39 so there's some more snap in it.
03:41 - And that's the thing to remember
03:42 when you look at the record of use of Dib, 19 and 0.
03:46 He just hasn't been at this level yet.
03:49 So he is learning here on the job against a good one
03:52 and he just took a little shot there on the inside
03:54 did Yusuf Dib.
03:55 Little bit of swelling underneath the right eye now for Dib.
04:00 Zalewski, hands down, just trying to tempt him in
04:08 and in he comes.
04:09 - Good left hook right there.
04:11 - I like what I'm hearing from Billy is saying,
04:13 he's saying get your feet up a little closer
04:15 so when you do what you just done,
04:17 when you throw the left hook,
04:18 your feet are under you, they're gonna move together
04:20 when you land it, it was nice.
04:21 A nice double left hook there.
04:22 - In comes Zalewski and Dib was just smothered
04:27 as he tried to throw his shoulders over the top.
04:30 Right hand was a good one from Dib
04:33 and Zalewski came back and just underneath that one
04:37 goes Zalewski.
04:38 - I get a feeling this is gonna break out
04:40 into a good fight then very shortly.
04:42 - Yeah, it's starting to open up here in round number two.
04:45 - Zalewski's talking to Dib
04:46 and Dib's got to totally forget about that,
04:49 just do what he's doing there, work off the jab
04:51 and forget about the talk.
04:53 - Trying to impact his opponent here is Zalewski,
04:58 dropping the hands and talking to him.
05:01 - Very good work right there from Yusuf
05:03 and you know, you just gotta keep on that jab.
05:06 - Tapes just coming loose on the front hand of Zalewski
05:16 and she's holding very low, just trying to welcome Dib in.
05:21 - He's talking a lot right now Ben.
05:25 Good body shot right there from Yusuf.
05:28 - Stop, stop, time, time.
05:30 - And the tape's gonna be the issue here
05:32 and Dean Cambridge will take Zalewski
05:35 over to Ben Harrington to do something about it.
05:38 And immediately Yusuf Dib turns to Billy Hussain
05:42 to get some advice as he waits
05:47 for the running repairs and a hush over the crowd here.
05:55 With still over a minute left in round two.
06:01 - Yeah, that left hook landed a couple times earlier,
06:04 I think that's a punch there for Yusuf Dib,
06:07 I think Zalewski's got his right hand right down
06:10 and yeah, as long as he's getting those feet close together
06:12 and close the distance, the hook will work.
06:15 - Jabbing his way in is Dib.
06:20 There he goes with that hook.
06:24 - Another good left hook right there.
06:27 That's what Billy Hussain's been calling for.
06:30 - Underneath the hook of Zalewski he goes as well
06:32 and away from the uppercut.
06:35 And then to the body he goes Dib.
06:37 - He doesn't like it, he doesn't like it.
06:38 Here he comes, he doesn't like it.
06:41 Dib is trying to hook me.
06:43 - Creeping in here he's trying to find his left hook.
06:50 - Yeah, I mean this fight's gonna break out very, very soon
06:52 but once he gets his eyes in,
06:53 Dib is gonna start seeing them shots correctly.
06:56 - Body shot there from Zalewski.
06:58 - Now they have him on.
07:01 - And the referee lets them work from here.
07:05 (crowd shouting)
07:08 - Moving, ooh, counter shot there from Zalewski.
07:15 - That was a good shot.
07:17 - The right hand from Dib.
07:18 - Beautiful right hand right there.
07:20 - Strong right hand.
07:24 - Oh, there's that right hand.
07:28 - That right hand just whizzes by there from Dib
07:31 and he jabs away.
07:32 - Hand still low for Zalewski.
07:34 - And that was a good punch by Yusuf,
07:37 he threw the right hand to the body,
07:39 just to the chest, there it is.
07:40 - That's right.
07:41 - And that's to the chin now.
07:42 He's cleaned her up, he's got good feet.
07:44 - And he's confident here as Yusuf Dib.
07:48 - Yeah, he's boxing very well.
07:49 Myles is coming back with some good shots himself
07:51 to be honest.
07:52 - And he's got power to Zalewski.
07:53 - Oh, another great body shot right there.
07:55 He needs to jump on Myles when Myles does that.
07:59 When he stops there in his tracks, he gotta jump on him.
08:01 - Well I was just about to say.
08:02 - There you go, that's another great jab right there.
08:04 - That's what Billy is saying,
08:05 said don't give him time, don't give him time
08:07 to walk around.
08:09 Put that pressure on him,
08:10 pressure just being in front of him,
08:11 the thought of being, you don't have to throw punches.
08:14 - You gotta break his heart, you gotta break his heart,
08:16 you gotta stay on him and break his heart.
08:18 - Another good jab.
08:19 - These are the shots that are gonna cause him
08:22 to break him down.
08:23 - Good bunch of shots there from Yusuf Dib
08:25 and Myles Zalewski, he'll be looking for something big
08:28 to try and sustain this flow a little bit
08:31 and he misses with an uppercut there
08:32 and then they just tangle,
08:34 getting towards the halfway mark of this, the third round.
08:38 - That's why he's doing what he's doing,
08:41 but he knows just the right side.
08:42 - There you go, there you go,
08:42 dig to the body, that's what you gotta do right there,
08:44 just dig to the body.
08:45 - And he's happy to win, fight here as Dib.
08:47 - There you go, good shots right there.
08:49 - So he's letting him off again,
08:51 he's looking to push what Billy said.
08:53 - Make some noise up here, make some noise.
08:56 - Nice.
08:57 - Misses with the right hand,
08:58 there is Zalewski, sat down on that one but missed.
09:00 - What the fuck?
09:02 - Now they continue and Dib is having a strong third round.
09:07 - Nice right hand, wow.
09:09 - Another good right hand right there Ben.
09:11 - And the crowd right behind Dib now,
09:16 as he goes to the body of Zalewski.
09:19 He turns around a left hand as well.
09:23 - Right hand there, he's, ooh.
09:28 - Uppercut from Zalewski.
09:30 - Good body shot by him. - Leads with it.
09:33 - Another good right hand there.
09:35 - Oh, good work.
09:36 - Here's a good body shot again from Yusuf Dib.
09:44 Zalewski is just looking for big shots,
09:49 now he gets his jab going.
09:50 - Here we go.
09:54 - Left hand from Dib, body shots as well.
09:59 Zalewski just continues to talk to him.
10:02 - Yusuf's just gotta stay on him,
10:06 he's gotta just keep the pressure on him.
10:08 - That's it, work the body now.
10:10 There you go, there we go.
10:12 - Perfect.
10:13 - Mouthpiece comes out from Zalewski
10:16 after those right hands.
10:18 Jack Brubaker there, he'll be in action shortly,
10:26 right now Yusuf Dib and Myles Zalewski.
10:29 (crowd shouting)
10:31 - I know we didn't hear the call there,
10:33 but I'm sure Billy is saying,
10:35 "To get up there and go with that right hand."
10:38 To put your hands up and say he doesn't hit you,
10:39 but beautiful right hand there by Yusuf Dib.
10:42 - He's growing in confidence, is Dib,
10:46 and Zalewski needs to fire back.
10:50 - And he's right in that pressure zone
10:51 where Billy asked him to be.
10:58 - Just waiting here is Dib,
11:00 and he counters against Zalewski,
11:06 who tries to find him with that right hand
11:08 and just slips awkwardly there to Myles Zalewski.
11:13 Body shot, and over the top as well from Dib.
11:16 - Yeah, he's just gotta keep that pressure, Jeff,
11:18 don't let him off the hook.
11:20 You got him backing up, he's running.
11:22 - There we go, make him miss, make him play nice.
11:28 - Just leapt out with that left hand, did Zalewski.
11:31 And he will search for something
11:34 that can turn the tide here,
11:37 as Dib shows he's happy to work on the inside.
11:41 - It's nice work, there you go,
11:44 that's exactly what you wanna be doing.
11:46 Put the pressure on him, you're breaking down.
11:48 - Good shots there from Zalewski,
11:50 got that left hand out and jabbed away.
11:52 (crowd shouting)
11:55 - Just misses by from Zalewski.
12:03 - Good body shot right there.
12:05 - Working on the inside is Dib.
12:06 Zalewski comes back with a right hand to the body,
12:11 and Dib as well, and they trade on the inside here.
12:14 Just a warning on the low shots for Yusuf Dib.
12:19 (crowd shouting)
12:22 - Uppercut, Zalewski, and another good shot there,
12:26 the left hand from Dib.
12:28 They exchange good shots, both hooking,
12:32 punching down hard is Yusuf Dib.
12:34 Zalewski didn't like that, but the crowd does.
12:46 Wild uppercut from Zalewski, it misses.
12:50 - I'm gonna say this and say it now,
12:52 Zalewski's getting a little tired.
12:54 I've seen Yusuf Dib box 10 rounds with Hassan Hussein
12:58 on a couple of occasions,
12:59 and I know he's gonna go this inside.
13:01 Honestly believe that everything's going in favor
13:03 of Yusuf Dib at the moment.
13:05 He's doing exactly the right thing.
13:07 - Little moment there where,
13:10 thankfully nothing untoward occurred,
13:14 but we continue on, body shots from Dib.
13:18 Zalewski, he is talking all the time here.
13:21 (bell dings)
13:22 - Will he do this?
13:23 - He's losing the fight.
13:25 - Can he fix that pain?
13:26 - Yeah, I know, mate.
13:28 - And it's a composed performance so far.
13:30 - I can slowly feel a change in the fight being,
13:32 I really can, I'm not saying that
13:34 because I'm sitting beside Billy,
13:35 but I really feel that there,
13:37 that Yusuf's starting to get on top.
13:39 - Somebody needs to address that tape on Myles Glove.
13:43 - Tape!
13:44 - This is the second time it's been addressed,
13:48 which is pretty crap.
13:49 - Yeah, it's on both gloves now,
13:51 by the looks of things.
13:52 - I think they're trying to give him a rest,
13:54 'cause I did say he was tired.
13:55 - Well, yeah, that may be the case, perhaps.
13:57 Ben Harrington trying to give his fighter
13:59 a little bit of extra time.
14:01 And certainly he's got that now,
14:05 does Zalewski.
14:06 The thing to bear in mind is that Myles Zalewski
14:11 does have plenty of power,
14:14 but he may need it against Yusuf Dib,
14:17 who is rising to the occasion.
14:19 And they continue on.
14:22 Zalewski wants a left hook and wants it badly.
14:28 On the inside is Yusuf Dib working with that
14:30 loose right hand and then digging into the body as well.
14:33 - Nice, nice double jab there.
14:38 (crowd cheering)
14:40 - Jabbing and strongly again is Dib,
14:45 and Zalewski happy to just carry him backwards there
14:49 after they became entangled.
14:51 - Nice jab, nice uppercut, boy.
14:56 - Good shot from Zalewski.
14:58 - Zalewski, yes.
14:59 - It was a good upshot on the inside.
15:01 - Yeah.
15:01 - Got through.
15:03 They both dig into the body with their loose hands.
15:06 (crowd cheering)
15:09 Forward comes Zalewski.
15:12 He's looking for a way to the guard.
15:16 - Looking for a big show right now.
15:17 - It's a little untidy here for a moment.
15:25 Uppercut from Zalewski again,
15:26 right hand over the top from Yusuf Dib.
15:28 Uppercut again, Zalewski, that's the punch he's looking for.
15:33 - Yusuf's got a little cut on his eye.
15:34 - He does, there is a cut.
15:36 There is now a cut for Yusuf Dib
15:38 after they came together there.
15:41 And it's right over that left eye.
15:46 And he's having some trouble with blood
15:51 running into that eye.
15:54 He gets through there with a nice left hand,
15:55 but it's in a pretty nasty looking spot
16:00 as he takes another uppercut there,
16:02 as Yusuf Dib digging to the body.
16:05 He's dig and again with that right hand to the body,
16:07 a good shot from Dib.
16:08 Some adversity though.
16:11 - Both guys are doing good work right now.
16:14 - Yusuf's been hit with the uppercut
16:20 three or four times this round.
16:21 He's gotta be prepared to put their hand
16:23 in the middle of the glove as he dips
16:25 in the middle of his face.
16:27 Gotta cover the chin in the middle.
16:29 There it is again, there's the uppercut.
16:31 - Oh, nice left hook right there.
16:32 He hurt him with that left hook, Jeff.
16:35 - Yeah, it was a good shot.
16:37 What can he do from here?
16:38 - Nice.
16:44 - And they hang on, Zalewski.
16:47 With blood now pouring from that cut over the eye
16:54 of Yusuf Dib as they exchange here on the ropes.
17:01 Dib and Zalewski trading shots
17:04 towards the end of the round.
17:06 That's caused it, the fight going relatively
17:14 according to plan to that point for Dib,
17:16 but Zalewski, he'll grow in confidence from that.
17:19 Ben Damon and Cometreet alongside Jeff Fennec
17:22 and Billy Dib as well,
17:23 who's watching his brother in action.
17:25 How's he gonna cope with this, do you think?
17:27 - Yeah, I mean, look, this is adversity.
17:28 This is what he needs to go through.
17:29 If he wants to fight at the top of the league,
17:31 this is what he's gotta go through, Ben.
17:33 - And so far, he's been boxing very nicely,
17:38 doing a professional job.
17:39 Zalewski, though, he's a very powerful puncher,
17:42 a man we've seen produce some huge knockouts
17:46 on Fox Sports previously.
17:47 And right now, it seems that Dib is happy
17:54 to sit on the inside and trade with him.
17:58 Zalewski shoves him off.
17:59 - Good right hand there.
18:03 - Body shots from Zalewski as well,
18:05 and the slip is called by the referee
18:08 as Zalewski went down.
18:10 Body shot with the jab from Dib,
18:16 and over the top with a big right hand.
18:18 - And a left hook there as well.
18:21 - Hanging on is Zalewski, looking for another upper cut
18:24 and hooking to is Zalewski as Dib came back.
18:28 And he's having a lot of trouble
18:29 with the blood running into that eye.
18:32 He keeps trying to clear it.
18:34 And the right hand just missed.
18:36 - Depression.
18:39 - Got a bit low there from Dib,
18:40 and he's trying to find body shots
18:43 and trying to avoid those brutal upper cuts
18:46 that are coming towards him from Zalewski.
18:48 Digging in are both fighters.
18:53 Oh!
18:56 That is a monstrous,
18:59 monstrous shot.
19:01 Dib climbs to his feet.
19:05 With a minute left in round six,
19:09 and big drama for Yusuf Dib.
19:12 - Yeah, he's got to hold, he's got to hold.
19:14 - Zalewski, he's a power puncher, we know that.
19:22 As, well, Dean Cambridge has chucked in the referee.
19:27 Well, there's chaos here.
19:36 There's a point deduction for spitting the mouthpiece,
19:40 but they still haven't put it back in, so.
19:45 - So this could be a 10-7 round.
19:47 - A lot of time though for Yusuf Dib
19:52 to recover from the knockdown.
19:54 So he spat the mouthpiece, he's lost a point,
19:58 but he has kept his place in this fight
20:02 when it looked like he was about, potentially,
20:05 to be stopped.
20:07 So a controversial moment in round six,
20:11 but it is Zalewski getting to work
20:13 and desperately trying to find the shot
20:16 to finish Yusuf Dib, who was, at least,
20:20 at some stage, badly hurt in this round.
20:24 - Step back, step back.
20:25 - Oh, he's showing a lot of courage getting up, Ben,
20:27 he just hurt badly.
20:28 - I cannot believe he got up.
20:30 - Oh, nice right hand.
20:32 - Right hand from Dib.
20:33 He is showing toughness.
20:37 Body shot from Dib and Zalewski looks for something big,
20:46 he's chasing now, there he goes with a left hand.
20:50 Here goes Zalewski, the uppercut.
20:52 That's the end of the round.
20:55 A round that will be talked about for some time.
20:58 Came out and then, well, all hell broke loose, really.
21:04 - Well, another thing, Ben and Billy,
21:05 did Zalewski use a lot of energy in that last round?
21:09 He threw a lot of punches.
21:11 Is he gonna have any left in the camp?
21:13 - Let's see, because Zalewski knows
21:18 that he can hurt Yusuf Dib,
21:20 and the blood running into the eye has been an issue
21:24 since it appeared.
21:27 Dib will need to show
21:30 professionalism, experience, and his boxing nous
21:36 to get out of a rough spot here.
21:40 - Just box smart, there's no need to gamble,
21:42 no need to gamble.
21:46 - Zalewski throwing with power,
21:49 and trying to find big shots.
21:51 - It's easy to say box smart, Billy,
21:52 but this guy's good pressure on him,
21:53 he knows he's hurting, so, yeah.
21:55 - I'm with you, definitely with you.
21:55 - It's very difficult.
21:56 - I'm definitely with you.
21:57 - He's gotta fight fire with fire a little bit here.
22:00 He's gotta hurt him, here we go, there's a right hand.
22:02 - Zalewski reaches out with his own right hand,
22:06 and he looks for something big.
22:11 Dib in his own corner, working to the body.
22:15 - Time, time, time, time, time, time, time.
22:18 Let's go, buddy, let's go.
22:21 - Now he just backs off, does Dib.
22:22 And Jax, body shot Zalewski.
22:26 - Time out, time out, break, time out.
22:28 There you go, there you go.
22:28 - Dib happy to hang on,
22:31 as we enter the second half of this seventh round,
22:33 but hands low from Zalewski.
22:36 And there's not much on the shots coming back
22:39 from Dib at the moment.
22:40 - Good right hand right there,
22:41 that's the right hand that you want.
22:43 - But he shakes his head at it.
22:45 To Zalewski, and he prowls.
22:48 Entertaining stuff in a tense battle.
22:57 Oh, there's a shot from behind from Dib,
23:01 and Dean Cambridge gives a little warning on the run,
23:04 and a counter right hand comes from Dib.
23:07 Right on the face of Yusuf Dib.
23:09 - Nice.
23:10 - Makes change jabs.
23:13 And pouring away is Zalewski trying to find his uppercut.
23:16 Dib turns around, big right hand.
23:18 Strong right hand from Yusuf Dib.
23:22 Zalewski, the hands stay down, he marches forward.
23:26 Right hand from Dib, counter shot from Zalewski,
23:32 leaps in.
23:32 - Break, step back, go hand, back.
23:35 - With 20 seconds left in round seven,
23:38 Dib went down hard in the previous round,
23:41 had a point deducted as well.
23:43 Right hand Zalewski, counter shot from Dib.
23:50 - That's all he needs to do, Ben, is just box.
23:51 There's no need to gamble with this man.
23:53 - Right hand misses from Zalewski to end the round.
24:02 - He's got to get in there and it can work.
24:04 He's got to land the first few punches.
24:07 He's getting hit first, Ben,
24:08 then trying to land punches after it.
24:10 - As the audience knows, Yusuf Dib,
24:14 the brother of Billy Dib.
24:15 Billy, how are you feeling at this point?
24:17 - I'm all right, Ben, I'm all right.
24:18 I'm hanging in there, but I think, you know,
24:20 if he just continues to box,
24:21 he can now pass his kick.
24:23 There's no need to gamble with Miles.
24:25 - He's a dangerous fighter, is Miles Zalewski.
24:27 We have seen that.
24:28 We knew the power that he possessed
24:31 and he produced it and he wants to do so again.
24:35 Zalewski working to the body, Dib hanging on.
24:39 (crowd shouting)
24:41 Marching forward, Zalewski, right hand from Dib.
24:50 They're both talking now.
24:53 Touching Zalewski and touching back is Dib.
24:59 - Miles is looking for that haymaker.
25:04 Yusuf is just looking to box.
25:05 This is what I want to see.
25:07 - There we go, nice.
25:08 Full punch combination by the lead
25:09 and by Yusuf Dib, all landing.
25:12 Another jab.
25:14 (crowd shouting)
25:17 And stay low for Zalewski.
25:21 Wants to bring Dib onto something
25:24 and he leaps forward with uppercuts.
25:25 - Break!
25:26 There you go, there you go, there you go.
25:30 (crowd shouting)
25:34 - Now it feels like Yusuf Dib is back to himself
25:38 after the drama of that sixth round
25:41 when he was dropped hard.
25:43 - Now this is a very good round so far.
25:44 - Oh!
25:46 Right hand's a good one from Dib.
25:49 He tries to work on the inside.
25:53 The tape's gonna be an issue again for Zalewski.
25:58 - Well if they call that, that's a point off as well.
26:00 It's the third time.
26:04 - Those punches fall short for Dib
26:05 and Zalewski just tries to find his way in.
26:09 - Nice right hand again by Dib.
26:13 - It's a good right hand.
26:16 - Now this should be a point off.
26:17 It's the third time.
26:19 - Lee Cambridge just rips it off.
26:21 The referee on the run.
26:23 - That's what I want to see from Yusuf Dib right now.
26:27 He's just putting the skills together.
26:28 Box well, mate, box well.
26:31 (crowd cheering)
26:33 - Zalewski tries to find that big right hand
26:40 and then a counter left hook as well
26:42 and he digs into the body.
26:44 Watching him forward, Dib.
26:49 10 seconds left here in round eight.
26:53 Chasing.
26:59 There is Zalewski and Dib fires back as well.
27:03 And a body shot to finish the round from Miles Zalewski.
27:09 This is round nine.
27:09 This is a 10 rounder.
27:11 (crowd cheering)
27:15 So a bit of confusion there about where we were at
27:18 but still two rounds to play between Dib and Zalewski.
27:26 Yusuf Dib, 19 and 0 at this stage.
27:29 Zalewski, 12 and 2.
27:33 And that 10, seven round, round six.
27:42 - Yes, if Yusuf can do what Billy Hussain's told him to do,
27:45 get off those ropes every time he gets on
27:47 and bring in with that right hand.
27:49 There it is, there's the right hand.
27:51 He can win this fight.
27:52 If he wins these last two rounds,
27:53 I think it's a very close fight.
27:56 I think he's winning the fight part of it.
27:58 - Yeah, good right hand there.
28:00 It was from Dib.
28:01 He tries again.
28:04 - Not doing very well at this point.
28:08 - Come on, let's make some noise up here
28:10 for this man, Yusuf Dib.
28:12 - Zalewski goes to the body, Dib on the inside.
28:19 - Nice little up cut there, boy, you should keep it.
28:21 - He's got to keep his chin down
28:25 when he's on the ropes, Jeff.
28:26 Catch his sights and roll.
28:28 - Zalewski will look for something big here,
28:31 but it's Dib that gets away first.
28:33 And what the right hand from Yusuf Dib from this position.
28:39 Oh, big shots missed from both fighters,
28:42 body shots from Zalewski and Dib just hangs on.
28:45 Over the top goes Zalewski,
28:53 Dib counters with the left hand.
28:55 - Zalewski's looking for that one big punch.
28:57 He's landing a lot of punches
28:58 with a lot of them on the gloves and the arms.
29:00 - Right hands from Dib and a few of them.
29:05 - Oh, and a hook, got nothing!
29:07 - Dib can't lose to Dib.
29:08 - Got to lose him, got to lose him.
29:10 - The tap comes in.
29:12 The tap comes in.
29:13 - That's crazy.
29:14 - And he climbs off the canvas and wins the fight.
29:19 His breakout opportunity.
29:25 Has been taken.
29:26 - What a comeback, man.
29:30 When he went down, it reminds me of when Fury went down,
29:34 he looked like he was knocked out.
29:35 He got up.
29:36 - An incredible recovery from Yusuf Dib
29:42 who was dropped hard in round six of this fight.
29:48 Lost a point as well.
29:52 And then forced the corner to make a decision
29:56 to pull their fighter out in round nine.
29:59 - Was a left hook there, Ben.
30:05 Ben, you think the power was thrown a little bit quick?
30:09 - Well, it came in quick smart.
30:12 - Look at Billy Dib in here.
30:13 - And then look at Billy Dib.
30:16 - Hey, where's our commentator gone?
30:17 - He's through the ropes and celebrating with his family
30:21 and you can tell what this means to all of them.
30:26 It's been a very, very difficult year for the Dibs.
30:33 The cancer battle of Billy has been
30:37 at the forefront of everyone's mind in Australian boxing.
30:43 - Wow, fight one was great, fight two's great.
30:45 Look at this.
30:46 He recovers, he's got the left hook.
30:47 - Here's these.
30:49 - Boom, there's the left hook.
30:49 - Brian Hanson.
30:51 - Let's go, you can do it.
30:53 - That hook and it was at that moment
30:55 that Ben Harrington in the corner of Myles Zalewski
30:58 decided his man had had enough
31:01 and he did look limp there for a moment,
31:03 but he seemed to just recover.
31:04 It was almost like the next shot half woke him up, Jeff.
31:07 What would you have done in the corner?
31:09 - I know, I love to stop the fight,
31:10 but he was the winner of the fight.
31:12 He was a close fight, sorry.
31:14 And yeah, he gave him a chance to recover.
31:18 I mean, I don't know if I would have thrown
31:19 the towel that quick.
31:20 And I loved looking after the fighter first.
31:22 - Well, he's--
31:23 - But congratulations to his corner for doing it,
31:25 but I take my hat off to them.
31:28 There he is, he's healthy, he's safe, he's all right.
31:30 That's what we want to see in boxing anyway.
31:32 - Yeah, controversy, chaos, everything.
31:35 It's a fighter of the year contender
31:37 and we can make it official now with Dan Hennessey.
31:40 - Fighters to the center ring, please.
31:45 (crowd cheering)
31:47 - Ladies and gentlemen, the end comes
31:59 with two minutes and 14 seconds left in round number nine.
32:03 Your winner by knockout and new
32:05 IBF Australasian Lightweight Champion,
32:10 Generation Next, Yusef Dain!
32:12 (crowd cheering)
32:15 (crowd cheering)
32:18 (cheering)
