Yep but you knew this before begging the Board for the fight. Pulling out 10minutes before the bid deadline is just poor. Board need to change their rules so anyone that accepts a fight gets fined if they pull out before the bids and after too. Kicked down the rankings too

So Ben is now putting it on Lil Fraze for pulling out?
Btw, what are those "terms"?

[ozzy616]

Agreed - I think I'm right in thinking that it was Frazer Clarke's management team, 258 GMT, that pushed the BBBofC into telling Wardley he had to face his mandatory (Clarke) next.
Shalom comes across as all reasonable but of course he's missing out all the important details that makes the situation unreasonable - typical promoter.

Are we really gonna play the A-side/B-side card for a fxcking British title fight?

This Shalom guy is the worst person in boxing,you just like to put on mismatches ,just a total ***** this prick

[Nash out]

Mr. Shalom, listen to the Great Nash, this is a good domestic dust-up, but there is no A-side in a fight like this. Here is the reality. Wardley is the B-side, and your boy Clarke is the C-side. A-side is for the biggest names only. Fury, Mayweather, Canelo, Zelenoff, Crawford, etc, not your son, Clarke. Let this be a lesson learned to you as I know you will be reading this. Nash out

Wardley is the Champ.

Ben Shalom, you're embarrassing yourself, Frazer and Sky.

If Frazer was the A Side, this move makes him look like the Z side. Shalom has made a mess of it.
