Dillian Whyte just about kept his heavyweight dreams alive when he rumbled his way to victory over 12 hard rounds against Jermaine Franklin.
The old, old hall at Wembley on Saturday night was the venue for a fight that belonged deep in the Eighties. It was tight and hard, mauling at times, and the pair resembled the lost men from a lost time. It was a time when heavyweights had stomachs, big shorts and really knew how to fight.
