UK boxing news round up.

Oh for the love of god, hopefully he has to go on the road somewhere and gets beat again

I think you're thinking about Okolie lol. Doesn't he have a rematch clause with CBS?

Yeah he does. I hope he passes on it and goes up to HW tbh. Was an ugly fight to watch.

[kiaba360]

Not been stripped yet but been in a legal battle with his promoter which could lead to him being stripped.

Yeah would likely be Masternak vs Riakporhe going off the rankings.

I thought Opetaia's legal issues finished in March. He asked for, and was granted a 60-day medical exemption in February. Maybe his injury hasn't healed properly?

Some were actually entertained by the first fight, more power to them. Okolie is not someone who's career I will follow closely because his clinch-fests are a chore to watch.


Something unrelated: do you foresee Sky or DAZN making a play for the Spence/Crawford broadcasting rights?

Can’t say I’ve been following it closely but came across this today:

The atmosphere/event was great but that constant clinching is horrible man.

I reckon Sky probably get them.

Oh damn, I misread it. That will be interesting, hope the Midnight Train can get a big fight at Selhurst. Would much rather see him rematch CBS than Okolie, but oh well

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Lee McGregor signing with Wasserman. Poor choice IMO.

Should’ve signed with Warren, Hearn or Shalom.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Smith vs Eubank 2 is close to getting rescheduled. September time I reckon.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Zhang vs Joyce 2 mooted for September 2nd.

Must win fight for Joyce. Can’t see him getting another chance if he loses again.
