UK boxing news round up.

Azim-Charlton heavily rumoured for the 26th show, would've thought we'd see Lawal-Jumah on that as well. Not seen anything on Riakporhe's opponent, maybe he won't be on the card at all? While I do like Wardley-Gorman and Richards-Bolotniks for the Matchroom show that night, I'm not sure I'm going to be paying for DAZN again anytime soon.

Frank's card needs Parker-Ryder (would assume that'd headline over DDD?) to compete imo

Yeah Lawal-Jumah is scheduled for Nov 26th per the BBBofC circular.

If Riakporhe doesn’t fight again until 2023 it’s hopefully because they’re confident of landing him a meaningful fight. I think they’re trying to hold out on a potential world title fight until next spring/summer so they can have him fight at Selhurst Park.

Parker-Ryder is the better fight no doubt IMO but Frank/BT are trying to position Dubois as a PPV star, I think he definitely headlines.

Would him and Makabu do Selhurst?

I don’t think it sells out but you could likely position the ring close to the main stand and look to fill half/a third of the stadium. Ironically enough that’s what Matchroom did for Bellew-Makabu.

Been told Matchroom are lobbying the WBC to order Callum Smith vs Joshua Buatsi for the interim WBC title. Smith is mandatory and Buatsi is currently ranked 2.

Interesting fight, my money might be on Smith for this one.

Good fight. This is probably where an interim title makes sense with the WBO mandatory delays. Hearn better not put it on in Saudi or somewhere.

I like Smith in that matchup too. If it happens… I could see team Buatsi swerving it. They’ve been very overprotective thus far.

I’d like to think it would be in the UK. Could potentially be in Dubai though, Hearn is committed to putting on several shows a year over there starting with Bivol-Ramirez.

Yeah that Pascal **** seemed like an excuse to get out of the fight, especially in light of the Conor Benn situation. Was looking forward to that one, hope this happens.

Hearn just didn’t want Buatsi to fight on BT. The whole “drug testing” issue was a blatant smokescreen. Team Pascal had already agreed to VADA testing. DiBella even provided a screenshot of the email.

Hilarious timing that Benn popped a few days after.
