Last updated on .From the section BoxingEubank Jr (right) fought in bursts in his first contest in 17 monthsChris Eubank Jr returned from 17 months of inactivity to out-point Marcus Morrison with a stop-start display. In his first bout working with boxing legend Roy Jones Jr as his trainer, Eubank had Morrison troubled several times but eased off attacks. Elsewhere, Britain's Craig Richards put up a gallant display but lost on points to Dmitry Bivol at Manchester Arena. Russia's Bivol - defending his WBA world light-heavyweight title - was a heavy favourite against London's Richards, who had never campaigned at world level before. While 31-year-old Richards worked his jab admirably and grew into the fight, the champion always appeared sharper.
