    They refunded tickets?

    It’s a killer when fights get cancelled. Happened to me with Klitschko several times when I’d already booked flights/hotels.

        Jan 13th I believe for Beter-Smith.

        Disappointing re: Riakporhe. Probably a CBS rematch now. While that’s an ok fight it’s a shame they seem to have no confidence in trying to unify for their fighters.

          Rumours Jordan Thompson could now be getting the shot.

            Probably a decent fight while it lasts but I think this shows MR don't really have much confidence in Thompson, hence swerving the bigger domestic fights (I think the fight with Watkins was for a trinket belt and didn't have any ramifications for English or British titles?). Chev Clarke is certainly their better prospect at 200. Think I'd prefer Opetaia-Cieslak or Opetaia-Briedis II but it's not a terrible fight.

              Yeah I don’t think Thompson is anywhere near ready. I’d much prefer to see him fight the Lawal-Chamberlain winner.

                Cordina defending against Edward Vazquez.

                Zelfa or Cacace would’ve been much better options. They should just fight each other.

                  Tyler Denny getting a EBU title shot. Very winnable fight too IMO.

                    Should be, Signani's ancient. Hearing that reminded me of Cash pulling out against Signani, wonder what's lined up for him especially seeing as Janibek is unifying next instead. Cash-Bentley II and the winner takes on Janibek if they don't want to go Sheeraz-Bentley?

                      Dunno what’s going on with Cash, reminds me a bit of Callum Johnson’s career, has potential but just nowhere near active enough.

                      According to the circular, Bentley-Sheeraz is agreed, I’m optimistic it happens later this year, especially now Janibek is unifying with Gualtieri.
