Roundwatch: Harrison v Brodie
All the action from the "Battle of Britain" in Manchester as Scotland's Scott Harrison defends his WBO featherweight title against Englishman Michael Brodie.


Round four: Out of nowhere, Harrison catches Brodie with a body shot.

The Englishman doubles up with pain and - somewhat surprsingly - is unable to beat the count.

Round three: Brodie's face has started to swell, but he is digging very deep and is starting to outwork Harrison.

After a desperate start to the contest, his world title hopes are definitely alive. The round goes to Brodie.

Round two: The furious pace continues as the boxers go toe-to-toe. Brodie is landing some good punches as well, but Harrison is still on top.

Pounding body shots from Harrison are answered by Brodie, who ends the round by forcing Harrison back.

The fighters glare at each other as the bell sounds - this is ferocious British boxing and the crowd is loving it.

Round one: The action gets under way and it's a pulsating start from Harrison - in black shorts - who goes on the attack with some stinging jabs.

Brodie - wearing white - looks off balance and he does well to stand up to huge shots. He will need to regroup as the round is emphatically Harrison's.

And there is bad blood at the bell when a couple of late punches are thrown.
