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.Comment

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

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

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.Comment

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?Comment

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

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

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.Comment
