Chisora vs Kownacki is on the table for July 9th. Chisora has signed. Matchroom are waiting on a signature from Kownacki. Unsure what’s happening with Hughie Fury vs Hunter, deal has reportedly been agreed but still no date or venue announced. July 16th in London was previously rumoured. Maxi Hughes and Kid Galahad are in talks for a fight later this year at 135 lbs. Josh Kelly will be added to the Wasserman card in Liverpool on June 17th. Opponent TBA.

https://youtu.be/Fzj6lvhLuug?si=pYBDGsAS9ExBw0pH Really surprised to see this, but Scott Fitzgerald looking in great shape, and sounding/looking like normal! Really happy to see, looks like he's turned a corner. I watched that last night myself. Great to see he’s finally in a decent place. Back down to 12 stone I heard him say in the interview so hopefully we see him back in the near future.

Love the Doheny fight, I was saying that one as an eliminator, might’ve been IBF. He’s fighting on the Inoue card I saw, bit strange. Davies-McCann must be the plan yh. Great fight it was. Happy Fabio got to take them home but terrific effort from both. Yeah he’s had a few fights in Japan recently, I suppose that’s the place to be below 126 lbs. I really hope we get a rematch later this year. I’ll definitely be tempted to get a ticket for that one.

I had it level too, same score as yourself. 7-5 to Clarke but the KD and deduction levelled it up. Was probably the right result really, would’ve felt for either guy losing after what they put into the fight. I’d like to see Davies in with a former champ, Doheny maybe even Casemiro. Masoud is a talented kid but he’s very unproven, you could probably say he’s domestic level based on resume. Warren is definitely building towards Davies vs McCann at some point I think.

I like that Doheny shout a lot for Davies Yeah would be a good test I think.

Agree on both counts. How did you score Wardley-Clarke if you can remember, I believe I had it even at 113-113. The Birmingham magnificent seven wasn’t great, no. Still good action in the last couple of fights. I think from what I can tell they’re doing Davies-Masoud and McCann-Baluta II in Birmingham July 20th which would be a very very nice double header.

Yeah as much as it’s good to see guys making great money in Saudi, it kind of takes boxing away from the fans in the UK. I thought Wardley-Clarke was excellent though, really enjoyed that. I wonder if Frank is going to do another magnificent 7 type card. I thought the last one wasn’t great though tbh, the Manchester version in November was much deeper. Agree on both counts.

Agree, tough to see where the next stars will come from as well. Still, some good fights to look forward to; I like Denny-Cash and Walker-Crocker on that Birmingham card, the other Birmingham card Frank's putting on with Davies and Baluta-McCann for the European should be good too. Hopefully there'll be others Yeah as much as it’s good to see guys making great money in Saudi, it kind of takes boxing away from the fans in the UK.

Yeah been a bit of a slow year for UK boxing. Most of our bigger stars seem to be going to Saudi. Agree, tough to see where the next stars will come from as well.

Good to see a resurrection of the thread, it's been too long! Got some solid cards coming up UK-wise. Yeah been a bit of a slow year for UK boxing. Most of our bigger stars seem to be going to Saudi.

Robbie Davies vs Sergey Lipinets May 8th on Probox … not a fight I expected to see . Me too actually, I make Lipinets a heavy favourite.

He did, multiple times :lol1: I once remember him talking about Fitzgerald-Fowler being at Deepdale, neither had even fought for a British title at this point. :lol1:

Did he say Hillsborough? :lol1: Typical Hearn, as you said I’m not sure it even fills Sheffield Arena. It’s a fan us hardcore fans would love to see but neither of these guys have a big following amongst the casuals. He did, multiple times :lol1:

Hillsborough as well, really? Does Dalton even fill half Sheffield Arena - and he's the bigger seller out of the two you'd imagine? Great fight no doubt, would love to watch it, but it's not a PPV yet imo. So a stadium seems a little far fetched, particularly a big one, it's not like we're talking the Vitality here.

I don’t really pay any attention to what Hearn says tbh. It’s 99.9% bullsh**. I suspect the purse bids get continually delayed until one side pulls out. Then Boxxer will blame Matchroom and Matchroom will blame Boxxer. I don’t think either of them want to make this fight right now tbh. Hillsborough as well, really?

@33:16 is where he starts discussing Azim/Smith and BOXXER: https://youtu.be/w4_37I1mBDM?si=cIzEZmac8kx0wXC4&t=1997 I don’t really pay any attention to what Hearn says tbh. It’s 99.9% bullsh**.
