UK boxing news round up.

Is the Dacres-Adeleye fight actually happening though? I’ve got a feeling it’ll be later in the year. Be a great addition to the Birmingham card if it does.

It’s been ordered by both the EBU and BBBofC hasn’t it? Would love to see it but feels like neither side really want it, they both have big plans for their prospects. Maybe MR let Smith fight on Sky again, no chance Boxxer let Azim fight on DAZN.

@33:16 is where he starts discussing Azim/Smith and BOXXER:

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? 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.

Did he say Hillsborough?

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.

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

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.

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.
