    Good, would be a shame if it didn't get picked up by a proper broadcaster. Should be a fun fight. More eyes on channel 5, so good all round.
    Only other possibilities would be Matchroom pick it up and pair it with McCormack or Boxxer pick it up and put Marshall’s return on the card.

    I reckon Channel 5 is the more likely though. Ritson is a big ticket seller in the North East so he’s a good addition to any stable.

      I think Frank has far better options at 122 with Davies, Cunningham, Leach, Foster etc, but sighing with Matchroom is still a far better scenario than staying at Probellum.

        I reckon so. Sunny and Hearn seems to be on good terms and Matchroom have good options for him in Martinez, Bam and Yafai later down the line.
        Hope this one happens, some really good fights to be made at 112 and that little shrimp can box, despite it not being entertaining all the time Would LOVE Sunny vs JCM in an "avenge your brother" kinda fight. I'm rooting hard for David Jimenez to beat Dalakian (not quite sure how that ended up on a Warren card) so Dalakian can't hide that belt in Ukraine any longer.

          I’m very confident Sunny not only beats but comfortably outboxes Martinez. Edwards is gonna be a difficult guy to beat at 112, I also think he gives Bam problems.

          It’s very strange tbh. Frank doesn’t even promote any Flyweight’s other than Harvey Horn to my knowledge. It’s a good undercard fight though.

            Rumour that the Newcastle nextgen show Matchroom putting on March 18th headliner will be Cyrus Pattinson-Chris Jenkins. If true, that's quite the step up at only 5-0, I know Jenkins has a few recent defeats but he arguably beat McKenna last time out. Dacres-Ismay on the card as well, can't say I know too much about Ismay but decent fight, should be for the English (is it vacant?).

            Hopefully will get ****inson, Pat McCormack and a couple others on the card as well.

              Should be a decent card. Hate to say it but I think Ismay beats Dacres. Ismay is a cruiserweight naturally, but is a decent operator. He had a few fight vids on YouTube but I can't seem to find any footage now. Dacres is cool, I speak to him a fair bit at the local amateur shows here in Brum, but he always looks stale and flat in his fights. Good gas tank and size, but that's it. He needs to leave the AG boxing gym and move on.

                Reckon he might be one that fights down to his opposition a bit if he's not in a challenging contest? I mean if you compare him with Adeleye, who while not fantastic I reckon most people would back to beat Ismay, Dacres dealt with Sokolowski far more comfortably. He doesn't seem to carry much power, but as you say he's got some decent attributes. Interesting on Ismay, haven't seen any of him, if you reckon he'll beat Dacres then I'll deffo be watching, I didn't think on paper it looked a terribly difficult one for Dacres.

                  Yeah that’s a very solid step up fight. McCormack vs Pattinson could be a big fight for the North East in the future.

                    I'm not sure TBH, that well could be the case. We had pretty high hopes when he turned pro, but his performances have been all sub par. No improvements whatsoever. Strange because by all accounts he performs well in the gym and holds his own in spars against very good names. If Ismay has taken training seriously, I'd make him favourite, even with the size difference.

                      Fair play, definitely agree re: his performances, I'd give him credit for Sokolowski, he's stopped very infrequently, but the rest of them have seemed languid. We'll see, I suppose. If he comes through this against Ismay, who would you put him in with next?
