    Looking like Wood vs Lara is back on for Sep 24th.

    Big credit to Wood for taking such a tough fight.

      Whyte’s essentially got 3 offers on the table. Dubois on BT, Wallin on Sky or Chisora 3 on DAZN. He’ll simply go to the highest bidder IMO. The Dubois fight is definitely the most interesting.
      Reckon AJ-Whyte II could be lined up for December after yesterday?

        I expect Matchroom/DAZN to drop their autumn/winter schedule soon.

        Wood-Lara, Nottingham/Sheffield.
        Cordina-Rakhimov, Cardiff.
        Smith-Benjamin, Sheffield.
        Buatsi-Pascal, London.
        Warrington-Lopez, Leeds.
        Chisora likely headlines a London show in December potentially Whyte 3.
        I don’t think AJ fights again this year.

          I think AJ will take some time off. I know he mentioned returning later this year but I think he’ll realise he needs a break, especially after his mental breakdown post fight.

            Looking like a decent schedule. I was hoping for Wood v Santa Cruz. Wonder what happened with that fight? No Birmingham card either is dissapointing.

              Rumours were a Yafai brothers card like what they used to do with the Smith’s in Liverpool.

              I think it’s a joint step aside agreement, so they both have an interim fight and then they fight each other. Who knows in boxing though, the ABC’s make it up as they go along.

                    Was Hughes-Linares intended to headline if Wood was to go and fight LSC in America? Is the Galahad fight still potentially viable as a chief support to Wood-Lara, or is it completely out the picture?

                    Anything in Buatsi-Pascal chief supporting Bivol-Zurdo in the UAE?

                    Would like to see Chisora-Zhang, and for Whyte to fight Dubois. Dunno what'll happen though.

                      Hughes-Galahad is off from what I’ve heard, as Hughes had secured a “big fight”. Stefy Bull was hinting it’s a big name but not Ryan Garcia. Whether Wood vs Lara being back on changes that I’m not sure. If Hughes doesn’t fight on the Sep 24th card they could always put him on the Warrington card.

                      I expect Buatsi-Pascal to headline a UK card but it’s definitely an option putting it on the undercard. Buatsi’s not a big draw in regards to ticket selling so it would make sense.

                      Chisora seems to want it but he’s just seeing the £ signs or should I say the ¥ signs. I’d be surprised if that fight actually happened. It’s not a bad matchup though both are a similar level. If Chisora wants to continue I’d much rather see him fight the Zhang’s of the world.
