    He’s clearly willing to take calculated risks too. Dragone and McCorry are decent kids to be fighting in your 5th and 6th fights.

    Is he signed to Matchroom? Or just been on a few undercards?
    Oh absolutely, they were very risky for somebody so young. It's not like he had age against him and had to jump in at the deep end.

    I'm pretty sure he's not signed to Matchroom, I guess he's still got BJS as his manager and I wonder what he's advising him to do.

      This is purely my opinion, no source or anything but I think Whyte-Parker 2 is definitely likely now Parker has signed with Boxxer/Sky. Parker isn’t a draw by himself over here, they’ve obviously signed him with something lined up. I doubt they’d do the Hughie rematch so it has to be Whyte in my opinion who’s currently a promotional free agent and has previously held talks with Shalom and Sky about remaining on the platform.

        Rumours Joyce’s opponent July 2nd will be Christian Hammer. Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s someone even less credible though so don’t get your hopes up.

          This is about the best case scenario, Joyce beats on Hammer for 10 rounds in a one sided drubbing

            Joyce is stuck in a limbo a bit with Parker going to Boxxer. Hard to see who Frank can bring for him following this tune up. I’d like to see him fight Bakole.

              Expecting the Fury vs Hunter fight to be pushed back. Apparently Hughie has an “illness”, could also be a result of poor ticket sales if you’re a skeptic. Unsure what this means for Ben Whittaker’s pro debut. Will probably get pushed back too.

                Yeah, I was wondering about Whitaker when I saw the news, any word on if that's still going ahead or not?

                  Think the whole event has been cancelled unfortunately from Boxxer/Sky’s side. I think it’s likely the Hatton-Barrera exhibition doesn’t go ahead either.

                  I think the new plan is Shields vs Marshall and Fury vs Hunter as a doubleheader. I’m guessing they hold off Whittaker’s pro debut for that card too.

                    Shame it's been cancelled but might work out better for Whittaker if his debut ends up on a bigger show. Thanks for the updates.

                      Wasserman’s next card is planned for July in Newcastle. Josh Kelly will headline. Good chance Gorman is kept busy too. Hopefully it’s a lot deeper than the Liverpool card last night which was terrible IMO.
