    Smith-Bauderlique will not be part of the AJ-Usyk card. Callum’s next fight will probably be in Liverpool.

      Much to my surprise, it looks like Eubank Jr-Benn could be announced tomorrow. Still one of those fights I won’t believe until I see them both in the ring.

      Terms were agreed but team Benn changed their demands regarding a rehydration clause or something. Something they should be able to resolve though.

        I expect Leigh Wood to vacate his WBA regular title. He’s only entitled to 25% of the purse vs Santa Cruz and could earn much more fighting Warrington later in the year.

          I'm absolutely gobsmacked the fights going ahead. I would've preferred Benn by far. Saying that I'll probably still attend.

            This is a huge shame, I'd love to see the fight. This is one Hearn should overpay for.

              Is it official that Sky will have the Broadcast right? Nothing announced apart from multiple reports, but seeing guys like Tyrone Spong, and Badou Jack on the undercard I'm guessing they do?

                Wood v Santa Cruz has war written all over it, shame it's not happening. Warrington would make for a good domestic bout though.

                  Same here I thought it was complete propaganda, I’m still a little skeptical but it looks legit.

                  Oct 8th, O2 Arena, at 156 lbs I’ve seen mooted.

                    Yeah Sky have the rights. That’s why Matchroom have pulled their fighters from the undercard.

                      Maybe they can negotiate a better split but it’s unlikely, plus Boxercise Ben can’t travel to the US so Wood would have to get a new cornerman if the fight landed in the US.
