The stars were out in force at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday night in London as Tyson Fury made his return to boxing.
Fury dominated Arslanbek Makhmudov on points in The Ring's Netflix main event, but as soon as he was done, he set his sights on Anthony Joshua, who was sat ringside.
The pair exchanged verbal jabs in a WWE-style segment, and maybe that fight will finally happen later this year or in 2027, but for now Fury's return means one thing, a spot in The Ring's heavyweight top 10.
Elsewhere on the card, Conor Benn returned to action at the junior middleweight limit, beating Regis Prograis across 10 bruising rounds.
Over 8,500 miles away in Tokyo, Tenshin Nasukawa bounced back from his November defeat at the hands of Takuma Inoue by stopping future Hall of Famer Juan Francisco Estrada in the ninth round.
Overall, there are changes in FIVE divisions.
