    Saw that fight was lined up. Can’t be PPV against them. The casuals could possibly be drawn to Miller, he’s undefeated, American, and has a big mouth.
    Yeah he can self promote and people probably remember him from the AJ build up.

      Callum Smith vs Joshua Buatsi is on the table. Callum would definitely take it if the money is right. I’m not so sure Buatsi will though. I think 258 send him down the Pascal route.

        Williamson vs Kelly is set for December in Newcastle. Should be officially announced next week.

          How come Brit boxers are great??
          you Brit’s drink like drunks and sober up fast

          my boss is a Brit and he drinks hard and heavy

          then throws darts like a pro

          he gave me a bottle of Irish Wiskey aged 50 years

            Any chance of Ritson/a McCormack on this show?

              McCormack fought on the Kelly undercard in July so hopefully. I know Probellum are looking to make Ritson vs Ohara Davies but can’t see it landing on this card. Would be a great doubleheader but based on previous Wasserman cards seems unlikely.

                Fair enough, would be terrific but as you say pretty unlikely. Anything concrete on the Eubank-Benn undercard? Had heard Cash was fighting (possibly against Radovan), and Ellie Scotney & Yafai, but not sure on the opponents for them two. From my understanding Wasserman would then have some slots on the card as well - is that the case?

                  It’s going to be terrible. The budget must be really limited if they can’t even get Cash-Radovan over the line. That fight was in discussion weeks ago. Scotney is fighting for the European title and think Wasserman are putting Gorman on the card likely in a knock over job.

                    Dillian Whyte possibly ducking Daniel Dubois. Terms had been verbally agreed but Team Whyte suddenly began asking for far more than was originally agreed when it came to finalising the deal.

                    IMO, it’s one of two things:
                    - Whyte is leveraging for a bigger % of the PPV upside.
                    - Or Joshua-Whyte II is in the pipeline which would allow DAZN to crazily overpay for Whyte’s next fight. (Chisora III possibly.)

                      As a Whyte fan I can't say that I'm upset the Dubois fight isn't happening. Dubois will clean out Whyte at the stage. I feel like his punch resistance has all the way gone, and his offense won't trouble Dubois either. Prefer him to loose to AJ or Wilder or even Usyk rather than a young gunner.
