End of the road
Aaron Chalmers has his eyes on boxing retirement after that latest loss.
He just said: "I've got about a year left. Maybe 12-18 months but we'll run it back. I'll retire on Misfits."
Virgo's the winner
Idris Virgo survives a rocky start and then completely overpowers Aaron Chalmers.
Aaron's corner threw in the towel in the third round after he hit the deck again.
Chalmers just about stumbled to his fight with the count at nine - but the corner saved him.
It's over!
Idris Virgo wins in three rounds!
Man down
Chalmers is down in the second round to a huge body shot.
Virgo has turned the tables in style in this round.
Chalmers spends the last 30 seconds of round two just covering up on the ropes and he survives.
All Chalmers
A huge round for Aaron Chalmers to start the bout.
Idris Virgo is forced just to hold on for large parts of the opening round.
Chalmers' power really hitting home there and almost forcing a very early upset.
Seconds out!
Round one.
Underway in the main event in Newcastle.
The main event
Idris Virgo is in the ring as well now for the main event of the evening.
What a card it's been and hopefully it has a strong finish.
Anyway
After all that excitement, we're ready for the main event.
Aaron Chalmers is on his way to the ring.
Signed, sealed, delivered
Salt Papi and Slim sign their contracts in the ring with Mams Taylor present.
They will fight on October 14 on the Prime card.
That bill is looking incredible now.
Is it happening?
Slim has come down the ramp to Eminem music - he and Salt Papi are squaring off.
I think we have another bout on October 14 just announced.
Wow!
Special guest
KSI has brought Salt Papi out into the ring.
A trimmed down Salt Papi. He looks incredible and has lost so much weight.
Now he's calling out Slim on the Prime card.
The main man
KSI is in the ring talking about October 14’s card…
“The undercard is crazy, we just keep going. And October 14 you’re going to see KSI the nightmare destroy and annihilate the b*****d child Tommy Fury.”
KO night
That was the fourth knockout of the night on this card.
Misfits 009 flew a under the radar with all eyes on next month's Prime card in Manchester.
But this Newcastle fight night has certainly delivered action.
It's over!
Wow! This fight is done inside one round.
Faze Temper had Ginty on the deck three times in the opening round and the referee stepped in.
What a performance and yes, another knockout on tonight's card.
We didn't see that one coming.
Here we go
Faze Temper and Ginty are in the ring and ready for this four-round bout.
Final countdown
Just two fights to go tonight in Newcastle.
Idris Virgo and Aaron Chalmers are making their final preparations backstage for the main event.
Faze Temper and Ginty will be on their way to the ring very shortly.
Here's what's gone down so far tonight:
- Ashley Rak-Su beat Halal Ham by unanimous decision
- Gabriel Silva beat Ben Davis by KO
- Armz Korleone beat Master Oogway by TKO
- OJ Rose beat Callum Izzard by TKO
- AJ Bunker beat Little Bellsy by unanimous decision
- Small Spartan Jay beat Pully Arif by split decision
- Carla Jade beat Tash Weekender by unanimous decision
No shocks here
All judges score that 30-27 to our winner... Ashley Rak-Su.
Dominant, commanding, convincing.
Punishment!
Somehow Halal Ham survived the absolute onslaught from Rak-Su and made it to the final bell.
Rak-Su looked like he wasn't concerned about trying to get the knockout until he started teeing off in the final 10 seconds.
The fighters hug it out - and this one should be a pretty simple decision win for Rak-Su.
Huge hits
How did Halal Ham survive that?
A rampant opening round from Ashley Rak-Su and somehow Ham was still standing after it.
Surely not another KO on this card? It's been action-packed so far in Newcastle.
This is new
Ashley Rak-Su has stopped on stage to sing his own entrance music, it seems.
I don't think I've ever seen a boxer pick up a microphone on the way to the ring before.
Anyway, he's on his way to the ring now to take on Halal Ham.
Three to go
Next up we'll have Ashley Rak-Su against Halal Ham as we count down to the Virgo-Chalmers main event.
Faze Temper vs Ginty is the other bout still to take place.
