UK boxing news round up.

Azim vs Poulsen Feb 3rd on the Buatsi-Azeez card.

[Mammoth]

Think Bivol might need a new opponent. Heard a few rumours Arthur is gonna have to pull out.

I heard this right about the time it was announced. Leg injury or something?

I’ve heard both hand and leg. Hopefully it’s BS. Bivol needs the activity.

Also, Prince Patel is getting a second crack at the IBO title. Fighting Liborio Solis in Ghana.

People were saying Arthur was hobbling at the presser. Kalajdzic already fighting on a ProBox show, wonder who else they could get in? A hotly anticipated Craig Richards rematch perhaps …

Amazing that the Prince is in for the IBO again. Probably will get 12-0’d again but ah well.

Maybe Rivera. Wasn’t that fight originally rumoured for this card?

Yeah if Solis has anything left, he should comfortably beat Patel. He is 41 now though.

Yeah Rivera would be good, thought he was extremely unlucky not to get the nod against Jack.

Yeah he got robbed there. Was on Usyk-AJ 2 I think.

Quite a lot of Brits could be fighting for the European title soon.

Conor Butler vs Jay Harris Feb 24th in Liverpool.

Essomba defending against Konki in Sheffield on Feb 9th.

Archie Sharp named as mandatory for Juan Felix Gomez at 130.

Metcalf ordered to fight Barou but doubt that one happens tbh.

Lerrone Richards against Dos Santos for the vacant Light Heavyweight title.

Think I saw Gomez just narrowly won an EBU defence by majority decision. Him and Sharp were meant to be in "private negotiations" per the EBU a while back.

Dos Santos pulled out of a vacant EBU shot against some bloke called Diallo that was for December 2nd. Think Diallo versus Lerrone is the fight now if I'm not mistaken.

Metcalf-Baraou makes sense if Benn-Eubank goes ahead, Baraou is with Wasserman I believe, they've had him over on Channel 5 before. Metcalf is quite highly ranked with the WBA though so not sure they'd risk him in that one, might get a shot fairly soon.

Butler-Harris I look forward to, Hobson promoting?

[BrilliantAJ]

EBU website still says De Los Santos-Richards so you might be right there.

Couple other interesting ones, they've got Denny-Cash and Davies-Baluta II (strangely) on there.
