<\/a>Tyson Fury arrives at Parker v Wardley<\/p>\n

Tyson Fury has just arrived, writes Jack Rathborn from ringside.<\/p>\n

The Gypsy King is in deep conversation with Frank Warren ringside as this Barney-Smith v Quartermaine contest gets underway. <\/p>\n

A white suit with a shirt unbuttoned down below his chest, Fury looks relaxed. <\/p>\n

A good friend of Joseph Parker, Fury will surely cheer on the Kiwi, despite his compatriot on the brink of glory and an opportunity to take on Usyk, who is 2-0 against Fury, of course. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Parker vs Wardley undercard: Smith victorious and roars in delight at points win<\/p>\n

That was a gripping contest, Smith\u2019s knockdown looked like it could be decisive, but he didn\u2019t need to worry or lean on that, writes Jack Rathborn from ringside. <\/p>\n

The scorecards give it to him clearly! 96-93 and then two wide ones, both 98-91! <\/p>\n

Smith sprinted towards the corner and you could see him bouncing up after 10 energy-sapping rounds, perhaps indicative of who should be the winner, the arm came up in the final seconds too. <\/p>\n

A huge win for the veteran, who moves to 19-1, Dawson slinks away, a gracious clap of the gloves to his foe. <\/p>\n
