UK boxing news round up.

Lopez vs Conlan is being rumoured for St Patrick’s day. Unsure whether it will be in the UK or US.

Damn, that'd be a helluva fight, not sure Conlan survives that one

Terrific fight. Any closer on Wood-Lara or is there a feeling it’ll end up being Kiko to protect Wood-Warrington in the summer?

Conlan against one of the above in a unification is a tantalising prospect.

Wood-Lara is close based on most reports but I’m skeptical, I have a feeling Wood-Martinez is more likely tbh. Martinez has vacated the European title foo so he’s obviously expecting something.

I could see Conlan being ahead and getting stopped late- somewhat similar to the Wood fight but likely not as dramatic.

Is Riakporhe-Glowacki confirmed yet? Think I read something on Twitter that Glowacki was considering retiring?

I thought it was agreed, but interesting that it hasn’t been announced yet. Maybe there’s a spanner in the works.

Azim still likely to be on that card?

Azim still likely to be on that card?

I think so. Unless they do a big show in February but I imagine Azim fights on both PPV cards January 21st and March 4th. Sky are looking to build this kid into one of the faces of the product.

I see, rate that. Hopefully two domestic opponents - a Gardner type and then possibly Ballingall for the English would be perfect, but I'm not holding my breath. Reckon at least one will be a continental opponent with a superficially reasonable record who's really there to add to the Azim early KO highlight reel. Guess we'll see.

What is the position with domestic title fights by the way - how frequently would a board allow a fight like that to take precedence over a mandatory? So say Sky were to say 'you're going to make £8-12k in your next defence fighting your mandatory, we'll offer you treble that and a slot high up on the card to defend against our prospect', I presume they'd have to go to the BBBofC and they'd have to accept the request - are you only allowed to fight mandatories for the belt absent a request?
