    Hearn said weeks ago he could possibly do 168 or 200 LOL

    Think he would just go for any pay day he can get, he doesn't have a mando, and the orgs said they wont enforce mandos if the fighters enter this tournament any way, so he could keep his belt.

    If Jack fight didn't pay better than why not? I am not saying Cleverly is in, just using a bit of logic!

    Yes, I suppose that's true. Cleverly doesn't interest me though, really hope not.

    Martin Murray ? I'm sure Hearn said in a IFL interview recently there'll be some news on him

    Not a bad guess, but 10x worse than Cleverly IMO.......Still 10x better than Cox though!!!

    Yes, actually, this might be it. It's an OK addition, but a let-down after saying "massive".

    Not sure about 10x worse than Clverely. If Cleverly was a SMW I'd agree in a flash, but I'm very suspicious about fighters going back down in weight, too often they are drained.

    Cleverly is much better boxer though, and Murray is not suited to 168 at all

    Always thought Cleverly would beat Groves @ 175, not sure about 168 though

    I wonder what's gonna happen with the WBC belt.

    I think Anthony Dirrell will fight (and lose to) David Benavidez.

    Pros to Callum Smith for showing bravery, clearly the WBSS is a tougher route to a world title than beating Ant Dirrell.

    Won't Benavidez be in the tournament?

    This is a good addition,we're now guaranteed some quality bouts. Smith vs Groves in the final would be huge.

    I'm still hoping but no news about Benavidez. I've even contacted his manager on Twitter to highlight the tournament.

    I think at his age they may prefer to win the title of Dirrell.

    Yildirim
    Braehmer
    Skoglund
    Cox
    Callum Smith

    Reserves:
