What a greasy thing to do to the away fighter. Strange situation. Hope he gets compensated. He seems like an honest hard working fighter and is showing up to do his job only to get fscked over.

Too many stories like this of the "B" side fighter getting yanked around. I love the sport but I wish it wasn't so harsh and exploitive of those that truly are the foundation.

I thought Craig was a good guy, but clearly him and matchroom are a pile of ****

It's not fair for guys like bolotniks to pay for his whole camp an it's not like he's making crazy money in the first place probaly just to be messed around an left in the dark all fight week. B side fighters get treat so poorly by certian promoters. Same things happened with the opponents for the benn-eubank card. Just told cards off see you later

Curious how Craig Richards went from British level to hanging in there with World Level guys, he's a bit sus, so is Tony Simms.

Bolotniks would of won that fight as well as the big underdog imo. Whether he would of got the decision is another story.

was there pre-fight ped testing ? Probably but only by Richards insiders checking if he'd cycled off in time for the post fight tests

This and Warrington being allowed to get away with numerous dirty fouls is not a good look for the UK.

Step your professionalism up.
