'The Last Crescendo' Generates 340,000 Pay-Per-View Buys Globally
Sources have informed The Ring that February's star-studded pay-per-view event, The Last Crescendo, generated 340,000 purchases globally.

In the United States, the event was offered for the low price of $25.99, while the UK fans had the price tag of £19.99.

At the ANB Arena in Riyadh, a packed crowd witnessed Dmitry Bivol avenge the sole defeat of his career with close twelve round majority decision win over Artur Beterbiev (21-1, 20 KOs), in a rematch that exceeded all expectations. Bivol (24-1, 12 KOs) achieved his dream of becoming the undisputed light heavyweight champion.

In the co-main event of the evening, former WBO titleholder Joseph Parker (36-3, 24 KOs) stopped the dangerous Martin Bakole (21-1, 16 KOs) in the second round. Bakole accepted the fight on short notice when IBF world champion Daniel Dubois was forced to withdraw due to illness.

WBC lightweight world champion Shakur Stevenson (23-0, 11 KOs) broke down and stopped undefeated contender Josh Padley (15-1, 4 KOs) in nine rounds. Padley took the fight on late notice after Floyd Schofield withdrew with illness.

Carlos Adames (24-1-1, 18 KOs) retained the WBC middleweight crown when he fought unbeaten contender Hamzah Sheeraz (21-0-1, 17 KOs) to a controversial twelve round split draw.

Vergil Ortiz (23-0, 21 KOs) continued his rise at junior middleweight with a twelve round unanimous decision win over former world champion Israil Madrimov (10-2-1, 7 KOs).

In the first heavyweight fight of the evening, Germany’s undefeated Agit Kabayel (26-0, 17 KOs) captured the WBC's interim-crown by scoring a knockout win over Olympic silver medalist Zhilei Zhang (27-3-1, 22 KOs). Kabayel overcame a knockdown in the fifth, to drop and stop Zhang a round later.

Opening up the main card, a Fight of the Year contender played out when former WBA and Ring 168-pound world champion Callum Smith (31-2, 22 KOs) took the unbeaten record of Olympic bronze medalist Joshua Buatsi (19-1, 13 KOs) with a twelve round unanimous decision.
