Worst Sky card since…?

Definitely been very poor. I think had the McKenna-Thompson and Azim fights stayed on it'd have been ok. Their card July 1st may well rival this one for quality though seeing as Heffron-Chelli is off ... have you heard anything on who Whittaker might be in with?

No idea mate, probably won’t be anyone too dangerous. Hopefully they get him in some more meaningful fights towards the end of the year.

Buatsi-Azeez on August 19th in Brighton is the rumour. Somewhat strange venue choice but hopefully better atmosphere than Wembley Arena or somewhere they wouldn't sell out. Probably bad news for August London shows though isn't it? Unlikely to see Lawal-Chamberlain or Marku in August would you say?

Another bizarre venue choice from Boxxer.

I wonder if they still go ahead with the August 5th Wembley Arena show. Maybe Riakporhe or even Lawal-Chamberlain headlines.

McCann vs Baluta August 18th at York Hall.

Good step up for Dennis.

Really like that fight. I think I read Nathaniel Collins defending against Hamza is also going to fall on that card. Was going to ask about what you reckoned the chances were of Sheeraz or Yarde going on that card too but probably unlikely with the two fights already mentioned on it. September in London for those two? Am dreaming of a Yarde-Smith Jr and Sheeraz-Bentley doubleheader but that seems very optimistic. More likely they'll both be in gimme fights on a potential Janibek-Bentley II card.

What’s happened to Sheeraz man? I remember hearing he’d be back in June but haven’t seen anything about him in ages. Can’t understand why he’s been so inactive.

I’d genuinely prefer Bentley-Sheeraz over either fighting Janibek. Love the idea of Yarde vs Joe Smith too, Frank has mentioned it in the past but not sure how likely they’d put Yarde straight in there with Joe following the Beterbiev loss.

Oh 100% with you on Bentley-Sheeraz. Even if they made a deal that winner was to fight Janibek the winner could hardly be begrudged a shot. Was it you who threw Mikhalkin as a name out there for Yarde? I reckon it'll be something along those lines, sounds a v good shout.
