Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions card was expected to make some stir, but everyone was caught totally off-guard at end of the first event on the card. The fight was between the undefeated Bilal Ali and Ed Harrison. And it took place on the undercard of Anthony Yarde vs Dec Spelman.

The fight started with Harrison swinging for the fences, trying to take Ali out early. While Ali tried to keep Harrison at range, throwing jabs and straights. The latter kept coming in close, throwing hard hooks. Both fighters were engaging in plenty, but it was Ali who landed the more significant strikes getting the better of his opponent.

The second round started very differently as it was Ali that started pressuring Harrison and waited for the counter as Harrison threw looping hooks. However, Harrison got the hang of Ali’s timing and threw hooks coming in and started catching Ali. The second round was very close, but Harrison stole it.

The turning point of the fight came in the third round, where Ali was deducted a point by the referee for grabbing Harrison’s arm repeatedly despite the prior warnings. Also, Harrison was already winning the round and finished the round strong after the bout resumed.

The final round started with both fighters showing signs of fatigue, having thrown hard shots from the get-go. But since Harrison was the aggressor for the entire round, he most likely won this as well.

It was a good contest, however, the real action came after the fight when the decision was announced. It was a very bizarre moment for the boxing world when the announcer declared the bout as 39-37 in favor of Bilal Ali, but the referee refused to let their hands go and shook his head in disapproval. He then pointed towards Ed Harrison and declared him as the winner. The result was then re-announced and Harrison was declared the winner.

This was reminiscent of the famous goof-up at the Oscars for many when La La Land was wrongly announced as the winner in the best movie category. Though the bout was entertaining, it was the unexpected twist in the end that really got everyone’s attention.
