Lati kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ye- Burna Boy. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Hughie McFee was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
