    Zhang vs Joyce 2 mooted for September 2nd.

    Must win fight for Joyce. Can’t see him getting another chance if he loses again.
    Do you think they'll stack the card with Nick Ball v Lopez?

      Not gonna be PPV so doubt the undercard is too expensive.

      Saw something about the IBF calling Lopez-Abe too so that’s probably next.

      Ball needs a little more seasoning anyway. I’d like to see him fight Kiko Martinez. Would be an absolute war for as long as it lasted.

        Azim-Faniian off, card still going ahead apparently even though they lost McKenna-Thompson as well. Azim another hand injury, not looking particularly good. Has he only fought once this year? Really stunted his development, if they'd have got this one done and then possibly looked at Petitjean for the European that would've been a good year.

          2023 is becoming a frustrating year for Azim.

          Wonder if they’ll get someone to replace Azim? I’m sure Kaisee Benjamin, Kane Gardener etc would jump at the chance to fight on Sky.

            Boxxer planning a triple header for August 5th.

            Buatsi vs Azeez - WBA final eliminator.

            Riakporhe vs Masternak - Some form of the IBF title could be on the line.

            Lawal vs Chamberlain - British title.

              That's immense. If that's non-PPV fair play. Get Kongo or Marku in a good fight and they could make two proper London cards out of those four fights, so fair play going for the triple header.

                Looking like it could be CBS fighting Masternak and Riakporhe getting a shot at Opetaia now.

                  Nice set of fights. If both win it crests a big unification. Very tough fight for Riakporhe though. Masternak is old so should be a straight forward now for CBS. Where does that leave Okolie?

                    I think he’ll probably move up to Heavyweight.

                      Bentley vs Sheeraz purse bids July 12th. Great matchup.

                      Rumours Bentley could instead rematch Alimkhanuly in the UK though.
