UK boxing news round up.

Beterbiev-Yarde to be announced tonight, apparently on regular BT. Excellent news if true. Not a PPV fight obviously but in the current atmosphere I’m pleasantly surprised they haven’t tried it.

I knew it wasn’t gonna be for the English but didn’t expect a catchweight. Richards must be struggling to make 168.

Richards has really nosedived since Gongora, he had a good year last year.

Huge credit to Frank/BT for putting it on regular BT. Nice to see a promoter/broadcaster re-investing into the sport.

Yeah he completely failed to capitalise on the Gongora win, not totally his fault but he’s taken a big step backwards in 2022.

Michael Hunter is set to be named as WBA mandatory for Daniel Dubois.

Quite like that fight. Shame the Hughie fight kept falling through.

Saw Goulamirian won tonight, hopefully one of the UK boys can get him over if the WBC is still being held hostage by King.

Joe Joyce vs Zhilei Zhang is fight being rumoured for February 2023.

Easy work for Joyce if it happens, can’t say it’s a fight that I’m interested in.

Does that mean he'll be stripped of his WBA regular belt?

Glad to see Queensbury and Matchroom working together to get some fights on. Saying that, it's a walkover for Joyce. Prefer to see Zhang v McKean and Joyce v Dubois 2
