UK boxing news round up.

Was thinking the same thing. Bauderlique maybe? Matchroom like to recycle opponents.

Dunno what fight actually makes sense for him. This was probably his chance to feature as part of a headliner, seeing as Buatsi-Richards II seems unlikely. Maybe they'll let him go to Boxxer and fight Azeez or Channel 5 and fight Lyndon after the Bolotniks fight. If Bolotniks wins, then maybe they'll put him in with him.

Matchroom schedule finally dropped as well. The UK dates are:

Feb 18 Wood-Lara
Mar 11 Smith-Stepien
Mar 18 Pattinson-Jenkins
Apr 1 AJ-Franklin
Apr 22 Rakhimov-Cordina
May 20 Taylor-Serrano.

A mixed bag really, some very good fights but some headliners that without a good undercard are barely worth watching tbh.

May as well add Dalton Smith vs Sam Maxwell to the schedule. Providing both win interim fights that will headline an April 29th card in Sheffield.

They should actually spend money on an opponent like Mikhalkin.

They’ve let Craig fight elsewhere in the past tbf. He fought Pitters on Channel 5 a few years back.

Craig’s a guy you could build up too. They only view Craig as an opponent though, that’s the problem.

I guess? Wasn't his fight against Bolotniks supposed to be the co-main to the last Whyte card?

Third fight down I think, Wardley-Gorman was on that card if my memory serves me correctly.

yep you're right. Still not sure what else they're really supposed to do with a non draw.

Seen rumours Lyndon Arthur vs Ricards Bolotniks is planned for March 24th in Bolton. Possibly for the vacant IBO world title.

Was hoping for Arthur vs Azeez after Azeez wins the European title, Bolotniks will beat Arthur

Same here, thought it would have made perfect sense for the Smith-Eubank 2 undercard.

Close decision fight either way I think, I reckon Arthur likely gets that decision though.
