    Not that I know of but it’s a fight they want. I know Shalom is willing to make Riakporhe vs CBS if World title fights can’t be secured.

    As of now, I think he’s allowed a voluntary but the IBF are very strict with their mandatories so they’ll likely call it at some point in 2023.

      As he should be, CBS-Riakporhe would be great in its own right. Would be better if one could get a title beforehand though ofc.

        Heaney-Flatley rematch on March 25th.

        Also Fanlong Meng is a potential opponent for Callum Smith on March 11th.

          Don't like Meng as an opponent, but could see it. Why not Craig Richards?

          Think I saw Raven Chapman is also on that March 25th card, not sure I'll be watching that as it stands - probably one for the travelling faithful I'd imagine. Doubt they'll be too bothered about the TV views.

            Think Richards is fighting Bolotniks.

            They should combine the March 25th card with the April card featuring Davies vs Cunningham.

              Joyce-Zhang set for April 15th. Hopefully won’t be PPV too.

                That's a good fight. I had Meng beating Pascal.

                  BT Sports? Any hints at who will be on the undercard?

                    Hopefully, probably depends on Fury-Usyk getting made.

                    Denzel Bentley will defend his British title against Kieran Smith, then I reckon you’ll get the likes of McCann and Noakes defending their Commonwealth titles.

                      Whyte vs Wallin is reportedly in talks. Hard to believe Whyte would take that fight though, especially as he’s on the verge of an AJ payday.
