wasn't it good to talk to lennox lewis about the fight tonight?speak to lennox lewis about the big fight tonight, tyson fury making his comeback on the heavyweight stage against deontay wilder. and lennox was saying that the three stone weight advantage that tyson fury has got over deontay wilder could be an advantage, you might think you might be too heavy, but lennox is saying he might use it to his advantage, even though he is considered the underdog tonight. apparently americans are obsessed with this huge weight loss that tyson fury has managed, from 28 stone to 18.“ huge weight loss that tyson fury has managed, from 28 stone to 18. it is extraordinary, his whole life story, in so many ways. when he was born, he was one pound, doctors didn't give him much chance. it is less than six months since his return to the ring, and despite losing 10 stone, tyson fury steps into the ring tonight 3 stone heavier than his opponent, deontay wilder. the american's wbc heavweight crown is the prize if fury's comeback ends in victory. ade adedoyin reports fr

lennox lewis saying that the judges we re lennox lewis saying that the judges were terrible.t like that. fury‘s trainer said you have to be sick man to score it like thatm you listen, i think he is actually from preston as well. if you listen to any of the british commentary, certainly, then tyson fury had won it. absolutely. it was that knockdown in the final round back —— that swung it, do you feel? on 5 live we had costello, sanchez and andy lee scoring it in tyson fury‘s favour. they are not far away from being spot on. the 12th round knockdown, he got knocked down in the night and the 12th and it was the night and the 12th and it was the knockdown in the 12th, it looked like it was all over. to get up from that, nine seconds into a ten count, it would have been all over. he would have been on the verge of doing exactly to —— exactly what deontay wilder always does. deontay wilder has had a0 fights, 39 not down. deontay wilder is a puncher, tyson fury is a boxer. and tyson fury outboxed deontay wilder tonight. let's try to look forward. will they fight each other again? t

lennox lewis said "i just saw tyson fury come back from drugs, depression, two years of inactivity andsive weight loss to outbox the wbc heavyweight champion, who was gifted a draw! in a rematch, i can only imagine that he will be even better prepared". some of the reaction to that fight last night. the qualifying draw for euro2020 hasjust been made. the home nations have avoided each other. were among the top seeds and have got czech republic, bulgaria, montenegro, kosovo. there's a really tough group for northern ireland, in with the netherlands, germany, estonia and belarus. wales's toughest opponents are croatia. slovakia, hungary and azerbaijan make up group e. tricky one for scotland, belgium, russia, cyprus, kazakhstan and san marino. all these matches will be played between march and november next year. the top two go through to the euros but remember england and scotland have that insurance policy of a play—off spot should they need it, after winning their nations league groups this year. the first of today's three derbies in the premier league is underway at stamford bridge.
