Bookmaker Paddy Power tweeted: “Imagine having to pay 20 quid for this fight with all the sound and technical issues…..which I have certainly done.”

And Sky Sports got a feisty response when they posted to ask: “2 rounds in, what are your thoughts so far?”

Replies included: “Be nice with some sound?” and “Where’s the sound gone?”

As fans put up similar messages, one tweeted: “Just posted same to @SkySportsBoxing livid mate I’d of been better off stealing it.”
