Still no confirmation of this unwelcome fight. A few weeks ago when Miller - Joshua was announced, Eddie Hearn said he wanted the card to consist of Brits v Americans. Along with Buatsi, Brook, Smith, Burns v Ray Beltran was mentioned. If he must fight on, I'd rather see Ricky take that fight, as he has virtually no chance against Taylor. At least he gave Beltran a good fight, despite having a broken jaw in their controversial draw.
Well, WBSS tickets have gone out and they still have Ivan listed on the picture so who knows really. Toying with the idea of getting a ticket. Will absolutely go if they confirm Ivan but Burns...I just don't care for it
Yeah im a bit in limbo too. I dont want to buy a ticket pay for hotels, travel etc just to see tayor fight Burns even if Inue is there too
Its ridiculous this is still up in the air regarding baranchyk..Surely they wouldn't have released the tickets if They Hadn't been assured ivan is fighting?Fingers crossed anyway
They have sold tickets today with the original planned fights clearly stated on their website and twitter with absolute zero reference to Skippy Burns. After weeks of delaying the ticket sales, I am confident Skippy Burns is thankfully off the WBSS menu.
That's good news m8 but i wont be buying a ticket until i see a statement from baranchyk or his team.
Burns definitely not fighting Taylor but most probably on the undercard. Coyle and Zlaticanin 2 both mentioned but will most likely be a gimmy and then Coyle in July
Sad days when a Burns fight is the best time to pop out for a couple of pints before the main action commences
I don't think it's far fetched that Burns was being lined up to be a replacement if Baranchyk withdrew. His manager actually stated not once but twice that they were pulling out. So of course they would've been out sourcing a replacement in case Baranchyk was out. I don't doubt Burns was in the frame.
They are fighting but think it's June on the Joshua Miller undercard. I could be wrong, but it would tie in the UK vs USA thing they're doing that night.
Why do you feel the need to change everyone's name? Has to be one of the most unfunniest and boring things to do.
