    A very interesting local HW prospect; Matty Harris

    Very unusual style for a HW let alone a 6'8, 270lb one.
    Seems he didn't have much of an amateur career and didn't take boxing too seriously to start with but looks a real natural talent and he has been in the gyms sparring with the likes of Chisora, Hughie, Whyte, etc
    Hopefully he is more committed and stays injury free. He was a really good footballer in his youth but his career was hampered by injuries.

    Huge 6'8 front-foot counterpuncher with good upper body movement and clearly packs a bit of a punch.

    He's back out in a few weeks on the Benn vs Eubank Jr bill

        You made three posts on your own thread about this guy after telling the forum how atrocious the division is as though you want to give credit to this guy now after claiming there’s only two elite fights around and want to take notice or talk about the division because you included the bums he’s sparred as though it’s a big deal now ?

        I have to ask what’s the purpose of the thread really ? Any attempts discussing or having serious input on the current era you yourself have shot down on this forum yourself to the point why would anyone discuss heavyweights with you ? Whenever there’s a thread on them you’re right there telling everyone how awful the fighters are today .

          Quite liked the look of this kid, I was at his fight in Liverpool.

          Another young British HW to look out for is Boma Brown, he’s another big kid, 6”6, 6”7, trains out of Everton Red Triangle and from what I heard he handled himself really well in sparring against the Commonwealth Games gold medalist.

            He’s just highlighting a young prospect. What’s the harm in that? Get to bed old man.

                Cheers for the heads up. Not heard of him before. Nasty KO in the first vid.

                Thing with HWs is even if they're a bit ****e (not saying he is) theres just a sense of spectacle to it because they're absolute monsters.

                  Just highlighting a prospect so fans can be on the look out and get behind him.

                  What do you want me to do sit and play pretend that the HW division is great or boxing even is currently? Its down in the absolute dumps and if it gets any damn worse these content creators are going to seriously start having actual success against supposed real fighters and people can laugh now but it'll happen.
