UK boxing news round up.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Been away for a little while, looking forward to some of the cards this weekend - particularly the Boxxer offering (eagerly anticipating Smith-Benjamin, Clarke-Soko and the Rea-Denny fight). Few questions:

Am hearing Smith-Eubank Jr close for January, will it be PPV?

Anything on CBS opponent for December 17, think I saw he'd be headlining in Bournemouth then? Massey, or someone on the continent? Opetaia next year more likely now that Whateley lost the IBF eliminator?

Is Hopey Price going to be on the Warrington card? Frank-Harris on that?

Merhy going to be next for Babic, or will they swerve it?

I think it’s going to be non-PPV thankfully. Think it’ll be in Liverpool as well. Taylor-Catterall 2 is definitely gonna be PPV so that should hopefully mean Eubank Jr vs Smith is on regular Sky.

CBS’ fight might possibly get pushed into 2023 also, they’re struggling to find him a dance partner.

Not seen anything on the Warrington undercard aside from the female fights. Rumours Robbie Davies Jr would be challenging Ivan Meneses for the IBO strap at 140 but still nothing official.

I suspect they probably swerve it, I’ve only watched Merhy once but I think he’d definitely expose Babic. Unsure what the end game is with Babic but I’d think this fight is too high risk too little reward.

Boxxer have made an offer to DKP for Riakporhe vs Makabu.

No idea mate, who’s Giyasov signed to? Matchroom? Akhmedov will probably fight on GGG’s next card, isn’t he rumoured to be having a homecoming fight next year against Falcao who’s the IBF mandatory. Would make sense to have his fellow countryman on that.

I've heard Akhmedov could fight M'billi in a WBC eliminator. Fantastic fight.

James Metcalf has been added to the Warrington card. His opponent will likely be Courtney Pennington.

Likely? Or is it most probably going to be the guy King's just signed, Mikaeylan?

Mbilli's next fight seems likely to be Vaughn Alexander I think I read? 17th December. Cissokho-Mbenge on the same card I think

Makabu wants it, King is stalling for more money. I’m optimistic it gets made.

How any fighter signs with Don King in 2022 truly amazes me.

Ok. A stay-busy fight for M'billi first then.

The WBC ordered M'billi-Akhmedov by the way, so both camp have to be interested for the fight to happen. Akhmedov is also highly ranked by the IBF and no one above him in the rankings is a good as M'billi so he might go that route.

Noel is the mando and just signed with King.

Noel is the mando and just signed with King.

Well that doesn’t bode well…

On a side note I think Gevor possibly beats Makabu.
