    Quite heavily rumoured Catterall and Sunny Edwards signing with MR. Would like to see that tbf. Catterall might be returning against Sandor Martin in Abu Dhabi if that show goes ahead. Not sure what I think about that, it’s a high-level matchup but Sandor strikes me as someone extremely difficult to look good against.
    I don’t buy the Catterall rumour, it came from the Sun via McKenna I think who was way off with the Eubank-Benn stuff too.

    Cattetall signed a multi fight deal with Boxxer only last summer so unless they’ve null and voided that agreement I can’t see how he signs with Matchroom.

    Sunny Edwards feels a lot more realistic. MR have good options for him at 112-115.

      Whyte-Chisora 3 in talks.
      Would this be a headliner ok Sky? Ther both shot, but it would be a fun retirement fight for both.

        Would the fallout of the Taylor fight owing to Boxxer’s poor contract drafting (if true) be enough for him to claim breach of contract and null and void it that way? Maybe Boxxer agreed to let him go to avoid the embarrassment of that getting out into the mainstream? Dunno. I suppose we’ll see. Eddie did hint at two signings.

          DAZN I think, unsure whether they put it on PPV.

          They’ll probably try and sell it as a grudge match.

            Possibly, maybe his agreement with Boxxer was reliant upon the Taylor rematch being secured.

            It is weird he hasn’t fought since nor has anything scheduled.

                They should do a mini tournament.

                  How do you see that playing out - I think we have Martinez-Arroyo on the Canelo card. Would you go Sunny-JCM and then winner takes on Bam? Who does Bam fight in the meantime, is his fight next week a mando?

                    Yeah I was thinking Edwards vs Martinez and then Bam vs the best available contender. Maybe they could even get Dalakian involved, it’s not like he’d be expensive.

                    I’m convinced Sunny beats Martinez too.

                      Nick Ball back on May 12th I think, was gonna be against some undefeated African opponent but I think there’s been a hitch completing the deal.
