UK boxing news round up.

A lot of talk of Sky having a PPV on September 10th. Shields vs Marshall, Fury vs Hunter, Parker vs TBA, Ben Whittaker’s debut or second fight depending on whether he fights on the July card. Tbh I wouldn’t be buying it, I’m not a female boxing guy but I also don’t think that’s a PPV quality card.

Also heard Kongo vs Marku is a fight they’re looking to make but that likely headlines it’s own card. No surprise as Marku is a massive ticket seller.

Kongo vs Marku woukd be a good scrap. Will it be in the UK or Albania? I think Kongo would win, possibly by stoppage.

Would have to be the UK I reckon. If he has his rumoured homecoming fight first I doubt it’s Kongo. Will probably just be a tune up type fight I think.

Conor Benn vs Mikey Garcia is gaining some steam as well. I get that it’s a name but Mikey has no business at 147.

I'm not looking forward to this fight in the slightest. It should really be someone better at this point that's a genuine 147 pounder. I feel like it could be a stinker too.

Completely agree mate. Mikey’s got no ambition at this point either, he’s just chasing paydays.

In all fairness, if Parker's opponent is reasonable (Browne would fit the bill considering Parker's position on the card) and they can chuck a reasonable British title eliminator/English title fight on the card as well as what you've mentioned, I'd pay £9.99 for it. Doubt I'd stretch to £19.99 - it'll flop at that price - but it's not a horrific card. I like the main & co-main.

Any updates rumoured on Cash and Wardley's opponents for July 9 O2 card or any further names likely to land on the CBS-Chamberlain Boxxer card end of July?

Still TBA as far as I know on the opponent side, it’s not gonna be anybody interesting at such late notice I reckon.

I think there’s a good chance it features Whittaker’s debut. Caroline Dubois, Hassan Azim and Bradley Rea will likely be on the card too. I imagine Joe Pigford’s back in action also as he’s a bit of a ticket seller down south. Would love to see them put Adam Azim vs Charlton on that card too but might be too quick of a turnaround- so I’d say that one’s likely for later in the year.

I hope Charlton is Azim's next fight. Don't think his name was brought up once on Saturday on the broadcast though so I don't know if they're gonna have another couple of knockovers first. Think I read Rea is fighting Saturday in Hull and he said on Twitter that he won't be on a July Boxxer card, but the other names seem likely. Probably a fairly woeful undercard I'd imagine. I like the main event though.

Yeah Boxxer’s roster really lacks depth, the undercards tend to just be filled with prospects, tune ups etc.

Looks like they’re trying to build Azim vs Cheema, makes sense in fairness, would be a big fight in the Asian community.
