No worse than Crolla getting the title shot.

Matthews stopped Crolla and got a controversial draw in the rematch.

Neither of them are anywhere remotely close to world class.

no idea who this blue eyed man is, but richard abril is so boring that he made a brandon rios fight unwatchable. i will not be tuning in unless somebody plants a television in front of me and pours beers into my mouth.

Another scouse bum making a card for no hopers to join him on

Is this a joke? Why not Emiliano Marsili that destroyed him in his town.....???? Seriously, it's the biggest missmatch in boxing history, Matthews can't win a single minute of the fight.

its a mismatch cause mathews isnt a 12 round fighter........and say what you want about abrill but he's improving, he's got more of a pro style now. The only way to beat him is with speed and the last guy failed to do it and he looked rather good and at home he couldnt do it.

im quite sure that abrils promoter denied there was an agreement, warren is always announcing stuff before its done.

I actually heard Eddie Hearn say that Derry was probably going to get the shot first, just after Crolla got injured
