    Yeah I did think this could well be it. The whole situation is a mess, I doubt AJ will even fight August 12th because they'll want it on PPV and they definitely can't sell Kabayel. Possibility of Wallin?
    I think Wallin might be viewed as too dangerous. I think AJ would beat him personally.

    Got a horrible feeling Chisora might get thrown into the mix.

      Looks like two Brits will be travelling for Cruiserweight title shots.

      Tommy McCarthy rumoured to be facing Goulamirian in France and Riakporhe currently in negotiations to face Otepaia in Australia.

        How on Earth has McCarthy got himself a title shot? Totally not deserved. I can see Riakporhe beating Otepaia.

          Purely because he’ll willing to take short end money to go to France I reckon.

          Shalom should be bringing that to the UK IMO. Hopefully Richard can still do the business down under.

            Frazer Clarke vs Dave Allen in the works for the vacant Commonwealth title or possibly that ****** Silver version they’ve recently created.

              The Commonwealth Silver really is ridiculous. I don't hate Clarke-Allen as a way to boost Frazer's profile a bit, I think Allen is a decent name any of the Clarke/Adeleye/Wardley-Dacres kind of group should be looking to get on the resume. Would hope he'll be game but really shouldn't give Frazer too many issues, it's just whether he stops him.

                Bit of a shame they didn't just make Goulamirian-McCarthy when it was rumoured earlier in the year, it's not really an exciting fight. Opetaia-Riakporhe on the other hand could be brilliant. Shame about the location though, will Sky broadcast it over here?

                  Yeah it’s so ******. It’s the WBC’s doing I believe.

                  Allen will probably just be showing up for the pay cheque too.

                    Yeah think it was originally rumoured for April but then Goulamirian started negotiating with Boxxer over unifying with Okolie or defending against CBS/Riakporhe. Still annoys me that Shalom couldn’t bring any of the champions over to the UK.

                    I’d assume so. Surely they’ll be looking to build the CBS-Riakporhe rematch.

                      Cordina vs Barrett September 30th in Cardiff. Good fight IMO.
