    Eddie confirms he was on phone to someone confirming a world title fight for one of his fighters and will announce (next week) which would be this week and also says he may have another.

    About 4 mins onwards..

    Barker/Geale in Australia is my guess. Back to back ashes cricket, Lions rugby coming up this summer. it just makes perfect sense to make this fight.

    Really hope it's Barker.

    Outside chance of Frampton?

    Eddie says he tried to get the IBF champ over (Romero) but he's injured. So I doubt it's Frampton.

    Another Announcement about an announcement becoming as regular as his eliminonators this. Still waiting on the Hull announcement 3 weeks later. It's Barker. Other one must be Groves.

    Sure it's Barker, on one of the interviews Hearn did last week with Kugan Cassius, he asked him chances of putting tournament together with Barker/Lee/Macklin/ Murray and he said he doesn't think so as Macklin fighting Golovkin, he thinks Murray will fight Chavez and Barker will fight for a world title

    Ashes are over her late summer, over in Aus Xmas time. I think Sky will love to tie this in with the Ashes over here and have UK time. Doubt they'll want boxing on at 9am, especially a fight like this.

    Would make sense to have it in the UK the way the dates work really. Tests all through August all starting on a Thursday. Have it on a Saturday normal UK time sandwiching 3rd or 4th test and get it advertised in the ashes theme

    already another 2 threads on this. Hopefully this will be in London with Ryder v BJS as chief support. The Lions are playing the Ausies in Rubgy around then as well.

    Probably Barker, hopefully not Frampton. There really is no need to rush Frampton too much, he'll be a star.
