    On an unrelated LHW note, I see Pitters-MacIntyre on the Birmingham card. Do you reckon if it's a competitive fight they might put Whittaker in with the loser next? Or the winner in a couple fights time? Or is it more likely just on the card to serve as another decent domestic clash with Pitters being from Birmingham do you reckon.
    I fancy Pitters in that one. McIntyre kind of has one foot out at this point.

    I think they’ve got to be looking at Whittaker vs Pitters at some point and Whittaker vs Summers too, I’m sure Summers is from the near the same area as Whittaker.

    Interesting to see how quick they move Ben, it’s been very safe so far. After he shakes the rust off, I’d like to see him in a bit of a step up, Luke Blackledge would be a decent shout, he’s on the journeyman circuit these days.

      Summers is a great shout yea, would like to see that one.

        Quite a few interesting things in the circular:

        Wardley-Clarke ordered as a British defence. Surprised it’s Clarke, has he even fought a scheduled 10 rounder yet? Decent fight though.

        Heffron-Chelli on a Boxxer show to come. Probably Smith-Eubank?

        Conway-Udofia on Wood-Lara II, British eliminator. I feel for Denny though, ik he turned down the Conway fight but is he out of the title picture for a while now?

        Essuman-Scarff on a Queensbury card.

          Fun fight, should be solid action

            Surprised they ordered that. Be interesting to see who wins that bid.

            Yeah would definitely make sense with Heffron being a local lad.

            Denny rejected the eliminator, I think they’ll look at getting a voluntary or going the international title route.

            Bit of a step bank for Essuman but it’s Nottingham vs Derby at least.

            Collins vs Hamza is another decent fight they ordered. Hopefully it gets a TV slot.

              Warrington fighting in London is complete ******ity IMO. He’s one of the few fighters in Britain who can actually fill an arena.

                It's mental, surely take him to the First Direct against Jazza ****ens for the IBO. The casuals will lap up that being for a world title, ****ens beat Leigh Wood etc. I'm amazed they're not doing that, it's not like they're going to do brilliantly at the gate for that London show. Bring Fisher & his crew up to Leeds for his title fight on the undercard and it'll do good numbers.

                  Yeah it’s madness, it’s the type of mistake I’d expect from Shalom but not from Hearn who’s been in the game for over a decade now.

                  Warrington wants no part of ****ens IMO.

                      I like Wardley vs Clarke. Is Pigford ready for Eggington or are they making this fight because of the last names?
