Callum Smith vs TBA
Joshua Buatsi vs TBA
Josh Kelly vs TBA
Michael Hunter vs TBA
This has always been the case where it's pure silence then once it's close to fight week we get the Bogdan Dinu type announcements......

Less than 3 weeks before the AJ fight & only 4 fights announced WTF
I legit had not heard anything on who Callum Smith was fighting until some said N'dam. I mean I may have heard it but just forgot, but still crazy to me how the opponents still aren't named yet.
What was the point of even putting Buatsi and Kelly on that card if it wasn't going to be against anyone solid? Should have let them just fight in the UK in a good fight.
Are they usually slow?
I just think they've had a lot of changes to focus on. They never said the June 1 date was in doubt, but cancelling it had to be an option.
Then you've got the spillover from that, eg Hunter.
Oh hell yeah!! I'm a huge Cissokho fan, streamed a lot of French cards just to watch him, he's legit
I've only seen his fight with Molina, he looks good, awkward.
Just more business not finalized......
🇫🇷 Souleymane Cissokho claims he's signed with Anthony Joshua's management company and will be on the June 1st undercard at MSG. Cissokho is 8-0 as a super-welterweight pro and won bronze at the 2016 Olympics - he was beaten by Daniyar Yeleussinov in his semi-final. — Michael Benson (@MichaelBensonn) May 10, 2019

Its frustrating. Seen elsewhere the fights have been set for weeks, just not completely finalised. Maybe its the way Matchroom works, not announcing fights til theyre completely tied up.
It does feel like Matchroom is being stretched a bit thin though with all the cards they have and being able to fill them with relevant fights, I guess Cash is off tomorrow's NXTGEN card now and guys like Billam-Smith, Shafiq and Swifty are in with joke opponents. Eddie needs to hire me as a matchmaker to help with some of this **** ;)

Smith is fighting N'Dam, that's just being finalized. Hunter I assume is still TBA since he was in the AJ running and now could be facing Takam. Not sure why it's taken so long to get Buatsi and Kelly opponents though, that is disappointing
