Callum Smith vs Hassan N’Dam fight LIVE stream: Liverpool boxer knocks out opponent to defend world title

Smith returns to the ring for the first time in nine months to face the former middleweight champion

Anthony Joshua v Andy Ruiz Weigh in at Madison Square Garden

Follow the latest updates live from New York where Callum Smith takes on Hassan N'Dam as he defends his WBA super-middleweight championship for the first time.

The Liverpudlian is one of the brightest British prospects and heads to America following his comprehensive victory over George Groves in Saudi Arabia last year, and an impressive showing at Madison Square Garden could put him in the frame to face the likes of Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin.

N’Dam will be no pushover as he arrives as a former middleweight champion, but Smith heads into the fight as the favourite and will be expected to put on a show after nine months away from the ring. Follow the live updates below.

Chris Algieri vs Tommy Coyle round 8:

Coyle looks as though he's going for broke now and lands a left hand but takes one back and looks unsteady on his feet but holds.

FIGHT OVER

Despite Tommy Coyle pleading with trainer Jamie Moore to stay in the fight, he is pulled out after taking significant damage.

While the fighter might not be happy about it, that is the right decision with Coyle looking out on his feet in there.

Algieri wins the bout via corner retirement.
