Tommy Fury and Rolly Lambert played out an intriguing exhibition bout, with the late replacement for Paul Bamba providing a high level opponent for Fury at the event in Dubai.
He was ready to have a professional bout against Bamba, before the weights came under scrutiny leading to the fight's cancellation. He was admirably replaced by Rolly Lambert at very limited notice, leading to the exhibition fight being played out at a slow pace with neither fighter truly getting out of second gear.
However, there will be many who will have wanted to watch the fight in order to get an idea of the skills possessed by Fury against a high level opponent. Lambert's lack of preparation will have certainly played a part in the pace of the fight and a scorecard from our colleagues at the Mirror awarded victory to Fury.
