UK boxing news round up.

After the Wardley debacle I'd say he's pretty well known. I think it'd be a waste of time blasting out Allen in 2 rounds, after the Wach fight it's clear he has work to do in the ring

I think Allen would definitely give him rounds. I don’t hate that matchup tbh.

It is, per Boxrec. Who do you favour in that one? Antwi coming up from welter of course.

Cash split from Sims to go to Mark Tibbs I believe - from what I've heard in the interviews he won't be on the AJ card and there's doubts if it'll even be Ammo next. I think they want to stop wasting time with the Cash fight for Ammo now and move towards an eliminator. I think he's ranked pretty highly with the WBA from memory?

I think Antwi will be favourite, Cartwright has definitely improved as a fighter though, thought the Williamson fight could’ve went either way.

Dunno what’s going on with Cash, reminds me a bit of Callum Johnson, always pulling out of fights.

Hope these Catterall-Linares rumours are bogus. Linares is f***ing washed.

Hearn keeps inserting him as a potential opponent for his fighters though, does he owe him a fight or something?

Yikes......................

Dalton Smith is a more competitive matchup but I think Linares is too small for 140, his chin ain’t gonna stand up either.

I really wanna see Jorge retire tbh. Was one of my favourite fighters back in the day but he’s completely cooked. I hope he’s just continuing because he loves to fight rather than being broke.

If he is gonna continue maybe fight Gavin Gwynne or someone like that.

That's fair enough, agree re: love of the sport. Gwynne-Linares chief on a Cordina unification sounds preferable if he is gonna carry on I suppose, assuming Gwynne gets past the ancient bloke he's fighting for the vacant European.

Definitely. I remember hearing he'd had a rough time of it but once he returned in the Madiev fight I thought that'd be him back fighting regularly. Pretty much nothing since except one 8 rounder iirc.

Williamson was entertaining in previous fights and I didn't have him as a heavy underdog before the fight against Kelly but he looked clueless that night, was not impressed at all.

Yeah he looked one dimensional and clueless didn’t he. I gave him a decent chance of beating Kelly but he got completely outclassed.

Oscar should really just make Linares vs JoJo at this point, loser retires and winner gets another shot at a contender

Probably too expensive for Oscar as weird as that sounds. He'll probably be looking at Diaz against Floyd Schofield next.

Hearing Cordina-Barrett could be back on for September.

Quite possibly.

It's very left-field but if they can make Prograis-Catterall I'd be a bit intrigued by Dalton-Linares. It seems like the antithesis of trying to build through the belts but if they can't get Petitjean next it's a name value fight.

The MR inactivity at 140 is a bit frustrating. Love, Paro, Hitchens, Catterall - I know there've been injuries but they've not been in a good fight between them this year.

MR really would've benefited from the Love/Hitchens fight happening last weekend. The winner could've served as a return opponent for Paro, or a potential opponent for Barboza (should he sign with MR). Now the timeline is all messed up.

Smith would benefit from Linares' name value, but Linares has been ineffective above 135.
