UK boxing news round up.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Rumour now is Foster-Baluta, the Essuman-Antwi fight we were on about, and Avanesyan's mandatory defence of the European against Miguez. Heaney on the card as well and potentially Heffron defending (didn't see anything about Cullen but didn't see anything ruling it out either). Good card I agree.

Heaney vs Flatley has been added now too. That does 500+ tickets tbf. Good move.

A lot of British title news…

- Wardley vs Gorman will be promoted by Matchroom and could land on the Eubank-Benn card.

- Lawal vs Jumah is being rescheduled by Boxxer.

- Denzel Bentley will make a voluntary against Marcus Morrison on September 16th at York Hall on BT Sport. They should have put that on the Joyce undercard.

- Essuman vs Antwi will be on the Joyce-Parker undercard.

- Gwynne vs Woodruff has been won by the Sauerlands so likely headlines a Channel 5 card in Wales. It’s not a fight that’s made for terrestrial TV but it will sell tickets so I get why they’ve bid.

- Nick Ball vs Nathaniel Collins will be rescheduled for later this year. Probably around November time I reckon.

- Lee Eaton has won the rights to McGregor vs McGoldrick but it’s highly likely McGregor vacates and McGoldrick receives a new opponent for the vacant title.

- Tommy Frank vs Jay Harris will headline a Dennis Hobson show for the British Flyweight title.

Re: Wardley-Gorman, I saw Eddie mentioned that it'll definitely take place this year. Think I heard Kalle on Twitter was talking about the possibility of more Wasserman-DAZN matchups on the Eubank-Benn card - too optimistic for me to hope for Craig Richards and Lyndon Arthur?

Any word on Boxxer cards beyond September 3rd and 10th?

Bit of a long shot, but is Whittaker on the AJ card? He's listed on Boxrec as being on it. If so, any news on rumoured opponent?

Re: Bentley - I don't actually mind the idea of having a card the week before the PPV to draw more attention to it (if that's the idea) + he's got a lot of fighters to get out. Saw Adeleye was rumoured for it, surely he'd do better on a potential Yarde-Beterbiev or Dubois undercard?

Saw something on Dubois-Whyte being close on Twitter - you heard anything?

Has McGregor fought since that draw? Who do you think he'll be in with next - is he with Probellum?

Ball-Collins would be great if it comes off. Love that fight - I remember it was meant to be on the Sheeraz card.

They need to make the Heffron-Cullen fight for the Joyce card - it'd be a perfect chief support, Heffron in a defence of only the IBF European strap he's got against what is likely to be a poor continental opponent does nothing for me, even though I'm sure he's doing good tickets.

Avanesyan-Miguez likely to be on a later card? Think the latest Joyce-Parker card rumours I've seen didn't have him listed on it.

It’s an interesting situation at LHW domestically because of the EBU title picture. Buatsi has now withdrawn so the shot will be offered to Yarde who’ll also decline and after that it should be offered to Arthur so Johnson vs Arthur could be possible at some point.

All I’ve seen is Taylor-Catterall will likely land on Nov 26th in Glasgow. I’ll be at the Smith-Mwakinyo fight/after party in a few weeks so I’ll try and get some info on what they’ve got coming up.

With Joyce-Parker signed, Dubois might be Whyte’s best option. Dillian will simply go to the highest bidder. I still have a feeling Sky make the biggest offer, they’ve lost Eubank for the next few months so they need a star. Chisora III will be on the table too.

Yeah that was his last fight, like a lot of the MTK guys it’s radio silence.

I expect Ball-Collins to happen next. Nick wants it.

I was disappointed that fight fell through, I’m not expecting much in the way of opposition now myself. Typical Warren European/International import incoming I reckon.

Tough to know what to do with Avanesyan vs Miguez, it’s a bland fight and it isn’t going to sell tickets. I imagine it winds up on an undercard somewhere. I expected the fight to land in Spain tbh but it’s going to be in the UK.

Interesting - Johnson-Arthur for the European sounds like something we definitely would've got if Lyndon was still with Frank. Not sure now though. I don't think Frank is best pleased with Johnson's continual pullouts, don't know what his contractual situation is like though. Reckon Channel 5 would let Arthur fight Johnson, or will they headline him in a rankings-push sort of fight against foreign opposition soon?

Nice one; any sort of insights or info you've got is greatly appreciated, even if it's just murmurings. Taylor to vacate the IBF I assume then. Ponce-Matias for the vacant belt would be very intriguing.

Dubois-Whyte would be class. I wonder who Sky would put him in with? Bakole would be nice - or would they be looking to make Dubois-Whyte happen on their platform?

Re: McGregor, bit of a shame really, he looked fairly promising (still think he lost to Farooq though - what a shame he had to retire)

You're probably on the money re: Heffron. Would've been a great scrap.

Avanesyan's last twelve months has really disappointed me. Wonder what truly happened with the Ortiz fight, but I guess we'll never know.

I think it’s a good fight for both but now Lyndon is with Wasserman I think it’s definitely possible he takes an alternate route. Craig Richards is next in line after Lyndon I believe.

Yeah Taylor is very likely gonna have to drop the IBF too.

Dubois-Whyte would have to be BT I reckon. Dubois is BT’s biggest project during Frank’s time there. I think Sky might look to resurrect Whyte vs Wallin, they had it made once before and I think they’d be prepared to overpay. Obviously DAZN will make a big offer for Chisora III too.

I also had Farooq winning. I wonder whether Team Avanesyan got offered something else so pulled out of the Ortiz fight only to find the offer they were given was illegitimate. That’s my gut feeling on it. I can’t see why else they’d withdraw.

Matchroom planning a Sheffield show for October.

Galahad vs Hughes.
Dalton Smith vs Kaisee Benjamin.
Tommy Frank vs Jairo Noriega.

Rumours were it was gonna be Sep 24 but there’s no way they go up against Joyce-Parker.

Interesting, I was hoping for Huges v Ryan Garcia but perhaps that's not happening. Absolutely hyped for the Smith v Benjamin fight.

Hughes would 100% drop the Galahad fight for a Garcia fight but it appears this will now headline after Wood agreed to fight LSC in the US.

The original plan was for Wood-Lara/Martinez to headline this card in Nottingham.

[BrilliantAJ]

Think I saw something on Twitter from Lee Eaton suggesting Frank had agreed to defend his British title against Jay Harris, so I'm not sure he'll be fighting for the European? What was also rumoured is Galal Yafai against Noriega for the European. I might be wrong though.
