Icarus King is fighting for a decision - hopefully he's judged it right and he's actually winning the fight.
Bedford throws an elbow but it misses.
And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to Icarus King.
I've got King winning every round here. Surely the decision will go his way and he'll pick up a well deserved decision victory. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.
Judge Francis DeMontford scores the fight 27:30
Judge Winston Howard scores the fight 27:30
Judge Damien Edna scores the fight 27:30
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Icarus King!
Our winner, Icarus King, made sure he spent some time buttering up the crowd during his post fight interview, which will no doubt bring him a few more fans.
