    Lerrone-Chelli still on then it seems per the circular? Also looking forward to Khoumari-Bellotti, good to see him get another shot.

      Yeah they’ve postponed the purse bid from March 8th until after Scarff fights Dujon. Should he lose I imagine they’ll look for a new challenger.

        Yeah it’s got London card written all over it. I imagine it’ll be chief support yeah.

          Yeah strange one that, I don’t think that’ll happen tbh. Maybe if Chelli beats Simms it’s a bit more interesting though.

          I think Bellotti might score the upset in that one. Decent little trade fight.

            Haven't been following the UK scene lately but is there any specific reason why Lerrone Richards didn't have a single fight in 2022?

              Promotional issues. He left Matchroom and then didn’t sign with Boxxer until late 2022. He was meant to fight Chelli in November I think but had to withdraw with a minor problem, think he fell over in his hotel or something ****** like that.

                Ah yes, usual boxing stuff. If only it was a sport before a business.

                  Yeah Lerrone is one of those guys who doesn’t draw and is difficult to look good against. Hopefully he can get back active in 2023.

                    He left Matchroom for them not progressing his career. Turned down a fight against Akhmedov to fight a domestic level opponent instead but that fell through.

                      True, stick the winner in with Lerrone I'd say (if they've got options on Sims promotionally that is)
