    Possible opponents for Heaney is interesting:
    > No Sheeraz, fighting Feb 10
    > No Williams, fighting Feb 10
    > No Denny, rumoured to be defending European 24/2 (per EBU)
    > No Conway (just won an eliminator), rumoured to be fighting March 30 Japan (?)

    Of these who do you think is most likely?
    Eggington, Bentley II, Udofia, Ryan Kelly (Birmingham, just beat Wilson-Bent iirc?)
    I suspect it’s going to be a showcase type opponent. I think Frank will try and milk this Heaney British title run. Ryan Kelly was who came to mind for me when I heard the location. Eggington is a decent shout too.

    Wouldn’t completely rule out the Bentley rematch but I don’t think it’ll be next.

      Sam Gilley will defend his Commonwealth title against Sam Eggington on a Boxer show on Feb 24th in Wolverhampton. Should be a war.

      Tyler Denny will headline defending his EBU title.

        Big fan of that. Get Denny a decent defence and chuck Whittaker on there in a domestic step up and you’ve got a good show there.

          Aaron McKenna-Udofia on Jonas-Meyer. Quite a few decent domestic middle and super-middle fights they’ve got on that card.

            Good addition to the card that. I fancy Udofia in that one too.

              Whittaker needs to start making some progress in 2024. He had a very disappointing 2023 IMO.

                Sam Noakes added to the Feb 10th Queensberry card, defending his Commonwealth title against Lewis Sylvester.

                Antwi-McGann also scheduled for March 1st in London.

                  Good show, saw Walker-Pattinson II fell through on the same day. Sad news about Pattinson, doesn’t seem like he should be boxing atm, but the Queensbury show was far better anyway.

                    Sad that it’s happened to him so early in his career too. Reminds me a bit of what happened to Ogogo.

                      BBBofC circular:
                      Denny defending European against Cash 24/2. If we’re getting anything near a peak Cash that looks a tricky defence, but he’s not fought in ages and didn’t look great last time out. Fancy Denny to win.

                      Collins defending against Price on a QP show. Terrific fight that.
