    Looks like people either jumped the gun on the Eubank Saunders fight or he's joking. Either way I wouldn't blame the guy for wanting the title fight with Lee after a warm up. Really couldn't blame him he deserves his shot and there's a good chance he could lose against Eubank. Fights OFF.

    True . Wa**en's big announcement haha god only knows what it is. Bit soon for Fury Klit. He's just announced Paul Butlers comeback on Twitter this minute. Not that anybody cares or thinks the guy will ever be anything more than a euro level contender.

    Select 100 sports fans in the street and not many will have heard of Paul Butler as the profile of UK boxers is non existent on Boxnation.

    Dont think many casual would I agree, also has more to do with the weight class he is in not just what promotion he is on.

    Yeah and who did he beat? Stuart Hall, a guy who should never have been anywhere near a world title.

    Boxnation shows Tyson Fury, eubank Jr, people who do big things on social media. They had David Haye, Chisora, yes their roster isn't as big as Matchrooms but still respectable.

    He actually put in a solid (losing) performance against Randy Caballero. Should have got more credit for it.

    BJS kind of irritates me. He always goes on about he wants a title shot but he has turned 3 down already. I understand his reasons but if he was confident in winning he would make by far more money winning the title and defending it than he would just turning down multiple opportunities and then finally fighting for the title. He is a very good boxer and has the talent but I just cant make any sense of him, because there aren't many, if any, young fighters who turn down their first 3 world title shots.

    Yeah he should have taken the Hassan N'dam fight unless he didn't believe he'd win it? Would have still gotten the Lee fight.

    Yep. Too many on here think if you aren't the very best fighter in the world then you aren't world class. If Stuart had started boxing earlier he'd have surely had a more than excellent career.

    Billy Joe may have the worst management in UK boxing.Many turned down opportunities which may never be offered again.Waiting around for Lee is just plain lazy and is living off step aside money.Short gain and is looking bad for future revenue.Typical act of pure greed.

    Would raise his profile greatly on Sky as the general public not interested in the odd domestic fights on Boxnation.
