I was thinking the same mate, he’s made a few comments about Hearn which makes me think he’s potentially going to Boxxer. The Eubank fight would be a big pull too.Comment

Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler is very close to being agreed. Essentially up to Team Inoue to make the fight happen.Comment

Have seen a little bit about Galahad-Hughes on Twitter. Any chance that'd be chief support to a Warrington-Wood card at Elland Road or something in November/December, if Wood can't get LSC (doesn't seem likely)?
Benn-Eubank rumours back into overdrive again.
Is there a deal in place for Buatsi to face Bivol, or is he going to have to look elsewhere?

I don’t believe the Benn-Eubank rumours at all. Just don’t see how it’s possible. I also know Boxxer have reserved several rooms at the Hilton in Liverpool for September 2nd-3rd so they’re definitely planning a card for that date. I still think Smith-Eubank is next.
As Mammoth said, I think the WBA mandatory situation has put a spanner in the works. I imagine Bivol-Zurdo will now be next. Unsure where that leaves Buatsi. I’d like to see the Callum Smith fight as you mentioned in another thread. Think their styles would really gel.Comment

Makes perfect sense, not sure they’ll be able to do Elland Road in the winter though. Galahad and Hughes have been in talks for a while, it’s a Yorkshire Derby so despite a potential styles clash, I think it’s the right fight to make.

I think they’d possibly do it in Manchester, that’s not too far from Leeds or Nottingham so it’s accessible for fans. Might be better to hang on until the Summer as it probably fills Elland Road.Comment

Is there a way of finding out the winning promoter & the value of the purse bid for each of the fights the BBBoC ordered - most of the purse bids are today at noon I believe - or do we just have to wait for that info to come out?Comment
