Matchroom fights lined up for 2019

[KTFOKING]

Yeah sure its 12 GBP cards a year, but they like going the week before Canelo aswell, so not sure if they'll carry that on with DAZN aswell.

Yarde would get mandated if Yarde's team wants it. Last interview he said he spoke to Yarde at Whyte/Chisora and told him to send it to purse bids and he and Buatsi would make a ton of cash. I've no doubt Yarde would fight Buatsi, but his team wrap him in cotton wool. I don't think the fight will happen, Buatsi is clearly a different beast, and Yarde's team knows.

Buatsi/Beterbiev theres not much reason to rush into, Buatsi is PPV material. End of 2019 he'll be on 12 or 13 fights, they could ruin it all, LOL saying that, exactly the moment Beterbiev fought for a title. Want to see him in a true test though, perennial benchmark of where you stand Barrera would be the man to fight in a couple of fights

Yarde is fighting absolute bums, he's not fighting Buatsi next. The fact he is close to being a mandatory for one of the major belts is laughable. Yarde is also one of Warren's biggest potential stars so he can't risk him in a fight against Buatsi who is definitely further along him at this point of his career.

Buatsi will be 26 years old by the end of 2019 and early 2020. Fights wise he is young, but age wise he's not all that young. In actually perfect age to challenge for a title. Now the key is to get him a few legitimate fights before challenging for the title. The type of fights I'd like for him are Hosea Burton, Isaac Chilemba, Sullivan Barrera etc. Get at least a fight of that caliber, preferably Chilemba or Barrera by the end of 2019, and then go after Beterbiev early 2020.

Yep exactly the right order of guys to be fighting. I'm not sure whats up with Burton, if hes been cut loose by Matchroom, last fight was on a small room non-Matchroom show. Buatsi/Burton would have been a great fight for this O2 show coming up, and last IFL interview Hearn didn't even mention his name. Could be Burtons gone off Matchroom script, similar to when Warrington wouldn't fight Selby so they cut him dry, was a great career move by Warrington though.

Burton has kind of disappeared since his loss to Buglioni. I mean I know even after that loss Hearn wanted him to get the Yarde fight, but he's been M.I.A. since then. His last fight was at CW so not sure what the hell is going on with him. Maybe he has been cut loose from Matchroom. But either way, Burton is a guy that may be able to give Buatsi some nice rounds. Getting the winner of Seanie/Callum shouldn't be hard to make. And if Hearn throws enough money, you know Chilemba will answer the call. That man has fought all the top LHWs minus Betebiev at the current moment. If Buatsi passes those tests in flying colors, there is no reason to hold him back. It would be clear at that moment that he is super legit and he's ready for everyone.

Sullivan Barrera is a FA right now and Hearn needs to pounce on him. Try to lock up as many potential fights for Beterbiev and Buatsi as possible. Get Bivol signed and then you are fairly set. Obviously Gvozdyk/Alvarez being on ESPN will make it impossible to lock up the division, but I bet both DAZN and ESPN are going hard after Barrera.

Apparently Yarde's team were looking at Barrera for his next fight, Barrera put it on twitter "lets get this sorted", lets see.

Burton would be a good undercard guy for PBC to pick up if he keeps on messing around, think Matchroom are fed up he doesn't want to push through, PBC will stick him on an undercard. Ohara Davies is another guy PBC should be after, name value

I need to see it to believe it. Yarde has fought crap and all of a sudden will fight Buatsi next? Bold if it happens, but still hard to believe.

Are you talking about the PBC/ITV deal? Because if not, I'm not even sure the PBC has all that many LHWs that matter to be honest. They have Browne and Jack, but that's about it. And those two will be facing off in January. If for the ITV deal? Sure, though I have to assume all you will be getting in the mean time there is some Joyce/Selby shows, with possibly Davies if they sign him. Is he a FA or something? And who is Andrew Selby signed with?

Degale has said his next fight gets announced this week, Eubank Jr Feb 23rd is the worst kept secret in boxing. Cuellar said he was offered to fight Selby a month ago on the undercard. Tom Brown bid on a Andrew Selby WBC interim purse bid last week, though his promoter is Sanigar. Poxon is the promoter, look at his normal cards on boxrec to get a flavour of the undercard.

I'm off out though to get drunk, Happy New Year!

Ritson says hes returning March 23rd in Newcastle. Fighting Andy Townend mandatory for the British title

Good bounce back fight

Good bounce back fight

Should be a double header with Kelly vs Avanesyan. Seeing Smith vs Eggington rumoured for the March 30th Liverpool card.

Also Bivols manager says his next fight and network choice will be announced next week. Will be in March, with Kuzmin, Giyasov, Akhamadliev and other WOB guys featuring.

Hearn really needs this lot, all will fit in nicely with what DAZN have. Potential world champions

I agree, Hearn really needs Bivol and the WOB guys. Seeing a pattern where it looks like they're trying to gain footholds in certain divisions. 122, 160, HW and possibly 175. That's a rough first fight back for Egg, throwing him to the wolves, I think he gets brutally beaten up and stopped and may retire. They need to give him a rematch against Mwakinyo, not sacrifice at the altar
