    I love when promoters make these type of fights. It gets boring waiting for them to happen, and sometimes they never do. Credit to Frank for putting them together, there's big things will happen for the winner and the loser will also gain great exposure if he performs well. No hope of this being PPV, the key here is to draw im a big audience and let the public see the better of two top prospects.

    On the fight itself, if Gorman has a rock solid chin, he can win the fight. That's a big 'IF' though.

    Nice, just saw that it's actually confirmed this morning. Excellent fight and hopefully Joyce is in something competitive too.

    I think Dubois late stoppage. I think. Gorman puts his shots together well and quickly but I rate Dubois' jab. His power seems pretty legit too.

    Shows how much pony we have watched over the past 5 years when we get excited by this fight which should reasonably be the normal yardstick to headline cards.

    Look at the poo Jordan Gill fight tomorrow night on the mismatchroom card -1/50 odds on.

    Well done Frank for sticking this on for the people but if you make it PPV you can stick it up your arris

    Great stuff, fancy Gorman on points but my opinion will probably change 10 times between now and the fight. Fair play to everyone involved need more of these types of fights

    Sky should seek customer feedback then rip up Eh Day's sole promoter deal as he is simply serving up dross month after month.

    The WBSS next week is a card to be excited about and A Dame Smith currently brainstorming a few new lines

    Saunders 1/100
    Joyce 1/33

    Rest of the card is still TBA. Yet you say it’s a great card for the fans. At least nobody tries to defend Hearn’s shite.

    A lot of people giving Frank Warren credit for putting this fight on, but he said himself in an IFL interview today, that he didn't want to make this fight yet, but the BBBoC ordered it after Joyce pulled out, and neither Dubois or Gorman were willing to pull out of the fight, so he had to make it. So it's really the fighters themselves that deserve the credit for making it happen.

    Gorman needs a good game plan here.
    If he looks to outbox Dubois which is what I'd be expecting him to do, he will have to be careful of ddds counters and not getting closed down on the ropes.
    As it stands I'm getting excited for Gorman now. I know ddd has that one punch k.o power but Gorman beats him in just about every other dept but I suppose the one punch is the one that matters the most lol . Ddds defence isnt the best and i think that an accumalation of clean shots from gormans combos will start to take its toll. This is a great fight for us to look forward to. I really like both fighters but Gorman is the more accomplished imo.

    Chisora prices himself out of a Joyce fight apparently demanding over a million for it.

    Joyce in talks to fight Kabayel but first it will be a “top 15 fighter” on July 13th. Any ideas who that will be?

    Gorman looked absolutely class vs Turner but since then he has fought people who just tried to survive and he is a counter puncher and not a huge puncher so didn't look amazing. Triple Deezy will probably open up and give him plenty of counter opportunities. Gorman also can move well for a lump. Very good fight.
