    Part of the game is building up your profile which in turn brings with it a fan base.

    Can't blame him for pushing it to be on a platform which will have more eyes watching it.

    Exactly that

    He is also promoting his platform


    I'm sure Wardly would say it should be on DAZN

    Ben Shalom clearly doesn't want that fight.

    Clarke hasn’t been impressive at all as a pro so far. I’d pick Wardley by stoppage.

    Despite his amateur career this would be a step up. Ive never thought they wanted this fight next.

    not even young AJ got the red carpet treatment from Sky like “Big Fraze”, it’s like he’s replaced Adam Smith

    Joe Joyce and his ‘Olympian’ pedigree (the world’s 3rd best heavyweight according to rennaisance man Fraze’s article) should be a wake up call to everybody

    I think the thing is mate hes more articulate and comes across more easy going and a somewhat nicer guy. As a boxer his amateur achievements aren't as good and he looks to be going slower as a pro despite turning over later than AJ. Can't say as I blame him but you're bang right about the red carpet.

    Ben Shalom has said Fabio Wardley is a free agent, wonder if there is any truth in thar

    He is. He is part of the same team as Whyte and Babic who aren;t signed with Matchroom. They operate on a fight-by-fight basis. If anything, it makes Shalom look worse if he can't get a deal over the line without going to purse bids if Wardley is a free agent.

    Not really

    All three are loyal to the pound of Matchroom, and understandably so as the company has made their manager a millionaire

    Babic was annoyed when Hearn didn't back him so they all see themselves as Matchroom fighters but with short term contracts

    Agree. With Whyte's recent statement re Bakole, Hearn may look back on the non contract relationship with Dillian as a blessing.

    Facts but I reckon it would be a good scrap and Clarke really needs it since the rubbish opponents he’s been having.

    This would be the type of fight that would be an ideal fit for Channel 5 if Wasserman cared.
