The talk about Saudi Arabia again? Come on, how many times do these fights happen there afterall? 2 UK fighters will have that fight in the UK, probably in the O2 in late August or early September

Has to be U.K.

Hope it's not in Saudi Arabia. These types of idiots haven't got a clue about boxing. Hope the Sauerland bros got 100% of the money up front before agreeing to put Groves-Smith there or else it'll end up like Pacquiao-Khan and get canned because of them flaking out.

Put it on the undercard of Joshua vs Povetkin.

Why wouldn't you put this in the UK? It's guaranteed to sell out and make money there.

No one will care if it was held in Las Vegas.

This makes no sense to me. The UK is the ONLY place this fight should take place, hopefully Kalle just trying to build some suspense before going with the obvious choice

I'd rather watch Eubank.. I need to know why Eubank gets so much hate in the u.k.. he's entertaining, and talented.. so im wondering.. is there a article or something I missed to make the general public hate the kid so much?.. I mean.. dang, did he beat his wife or something? I personally would like to see him fight at 160 again.. that division is on fire!

[Scopedog]

I kind of hope it is in Saudi, that means I'd be able to go watch it.

...but yeah, really it'd be foolish to hold it anywhere in the UK. It doesn't make half as much money anywhere else.

Two UK fighters, in a final and its not going to be here? Ok
