    Yarde fighting yet another unknown European with a padded record. Marko Nikolic gets the call this time.

    The MR schedule was underwhelming too, hopefully Wood-Warrington 2 is also added. Smith vs Zepeda is a good fight, Gill-Barrett is decent too but nothing to really get excited about.

      With alot of the better domestic uk fighters propping up the saudi cards it makes you wonder what crap we will be left with.

        Sadly, I can see that same pattern emerging myself.

          Boxxer announcing a PPV tonight. Taylor-Catterall 2 I assume is the headline. Kongo-Marku on the undercard.

            I don't feel like it'll be a successful PPV. Way past it's sell by date, feel like the excitement has gone.

              I completely agree.

              Turns out they were announcing Wardley-Clarke anyway.

              I do expect Taylor-Catterall II to be Sky PPV though sadly.

                Can't see that doing terribly well unless there's some serious needle pre-fight, it's been too long since the first one and that was only really interesting because of the result.

                Must say though that Jonas-Mayer, Buatsi-Azeez, Wardley-Clarke and CBS-Riakporhe is a good run to start 2024 for Boxxer. Better than MR's UK offerings pretty clearly so far.

                  This will get on Wardley-Clarke now you'd imagine. Reckon they could sell 10k at the O2 with that main and chief support?

                    Yeah I reckon so, Marku is a big ticket seller so will definitely help them out but feels like a Wembley Arena show tbh. Hopefully there’s no “back injuries” during fight week.

                      Yeah much better from Boxxer. With the Sky platform behind you, just make competitive fights. Regardless of the level.
