And after the match, Bunting opened up about the incredible support he received from reigning world champ Humphries, who suffered a shock exit at the hands of Wright on Sunday. He said: "Nothing has changed from my point of view. I've got a different opponent in front of me - I probably did expect to play Luke, to be fair.

"But in our practice sessions we talked about playing in the quarters. I've kept my end of the bargain but unfortunately Luke just fell short. "It wasn't for a lack of trying, I know that. I spoke to him this morning and he wished me luck. "He said he would love to hand the crown over to me and give me his world championship, so that means a lot.

"He's a massive friend of mine and we'll continue to practice after this tournament, but for now I've got to put all friendships aside and make sure I'm 100 per cent. "I know I can go all the way, it's about doing it.". CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS.
