    He’ll be seeing if AJ can get down to 225.
    Definitely lol. To be honest, with the state of heavyweight boxing at the minute, I wouldn’t mind seeing AJ-Hrgovic for a vacant post Fury-Usyk, it’s probably better than most things we’ll get this year …

      I think it likely happens, especially if Fury is true to his word about not fighting for the IBF, but then again it’s Tyson Fury so who knows.

        Heard a few rumours Josh Kelly vs Conor Benn is being discussed as a possibility for 2023.

        I think Kelly would school him tbh. I’d be surprised if Matchroom go this route.

          Kelly would stop Benn in my opinion. Make him look really bad.

            I think it looks similar to the Williamson fight.

              Saw on Twitter Smith-Arthur doesn’t look likely for the 11th, and that Arthur was approached to fight McCrory March 10th in Manchester. Any reason why the Smith fight’s off?

                Team Smith were never that keen on it, I think they feel they’d essentially be stepping back down to domestic level. Wasserman were pushing for this fight but it does nothing for Callum really.

                I think it’ll be Boesel, Mikhalkin or somebody like that. I would prefer Arthur over those guys though tbh.

                  They must be joking if they think people are more keen to see him fight Mikhalkin or Boesel over Arthur. I'm not massive on Arthur, but it's a better fight, and he's coming off a win on terrestrial TV where he looked sharp.

                    Moses Itauma has signed a multi-year promotional contract with Queensberry promotions.

                    This kid has a massive future!

                      Seems a terrific prospect, but do you think it's a risk turning pro without a senior bout in the ams?
