    I don't know but big stiff Joshua needs to step it up cause hearn is overhyping him.. if he doesnt start facing fighters with pulses people are gonna see him as some great black hope hype job like Seth Mitchell

    At this stage someone half durable is the best scenario. It won't be anyone in the top 50.

    Too expensive I'd imagine. The Brazilian lad who Dillian Whyte beat would be a decent enough opponent at this stage.

    **** that, he's ****e.

    It has to be someone half decent. Pala isn't great but he's miles better than Naciemento and at this late stage he's probably the best opponent to hope for.

    It wont be anyone decent seeing that he is meant to be fighting Kevin Johnson later on in the month. Expect someone like Danny Hughes.

    yaroslav zavorotnyi is a name that's been thrown about.
    Recently took david price 10 rounds and could prove to be a decent warm up for kingpin.

    Yeah it will probably be Zav. Hearn said it's a 'decent' opponent on that short IFL video.

    But Pro Punter was right, this card is terrible. It is no doubt the worst since his exclusive deal, worse than Barker-Rotolo and the Hull card the other week, and Hearn is too busy hashtagging All of the Lights to try and somehow rectify it - he should be ringing every promoter possible to see if there is someone in training who would want to fight on a much bigger stage in a top 10 arena in the country. But this Stevenson-Bika added to Sky (which is a daytime card so will run parallel with Newcastle) to save the embarrassment for viewers outside the region because they know it is so bad.

    10 fights and still 7 TBA brothers to be found.

    The 3 confirmed fights is now down to two with the injury to Bradley Saunders.

    Eddie must really do better as this could be his worst show ever.

    There are only 3 opponents TBA asthere are 6 fights confirmed, but this is definitely Hearn's weakest card since his Sky deal.
