    This is probably to make up for missing out in Germany last week

    Early blow out

    Would like to see him step it up in the Spring. Chisora, Price or Dillian White if he does not get too badly beaten next week

    WTF! This is a joke fight...I'm losing patience with Hughie, even though I rate him highly.

    Larry will come to fight at the very least but he's hardly a test at this stage. Three opponents cancelled on him last week so I have no real issue with this.

    I suppose; didn't know he lost 3 potentials. Hope he stops him quickly.

    Larry won't come to fight mate, I was at the fight when he fought Gary Cornish and I'm still waiting for him to throw a meaningful punch at him!! He has went into total journeyman mode.

    At the press conference the day before eh just spoke about how boxing will help him fund his acting career and when asked if anyone would have seen him act in anything he just replied 'No' hahaha

    I think so too mate, he was really building up quite well before he got ill and really just needs to get back fighting regularly and picking up experience again. Would like to see him fighting for the British Title if Anthony Joshua gives it up after the Dillian Whyte fight.

    Hughie was meant to fight Paul butlin and young fury was fighting Larry but young pulled out so Larry now fights hughie.butlin would of been the better fight for him imo

    In fact look at Larry's record since he got done for the gear, only one he has won was a DQ cos the other lad hit him and floored him after a break was called!!

    Didn't McDermott wipe him out in 1 whilst he was on steroids?

    Wasn't that his first fight back after the steroids, or he'd been found out by then? Looking at the dates it looks like it was before he was banned
