The original rumour was gambling addiction but there’s a few whispers of late that he’s got cancer. Obviously I hope he doesn’t but surely if it was gambling he’d have needed help there and then rather than working a few more months with a planned break been spoke about.
Thought Azeez was nailed on to join Matchroom last week according to you. Now he's fighting Buatsi? Which one is it?
Hearn and Frank Smith said that they spoke to Azeez regarding a fight with Bivol as he was a free agent. Azeez chose to fight Buatsi instead.
Whilst everything you say above is true, it kind of shows that money talks. Those fighters on the road didn't have enough backing to bring champions to them; AJ did. Boxing is rotten but those are facts.
I do love these matter of fact posts like your in the know only to see you back peddle if a fight doesn't come off You clearly are just scouring twitter /newz sites for as much rumor and gossip as possible and dressit up with "from what I've been told" DM's from everything boxing do not count
For someone that's 'in the know' he doesn't half get a lot of stuff wrong. Amount of times he's shown himself up you would of thought he would get a new 'source' as his current one is stitching him up left,right & center!
I look forward to the inevitable day soon when Ben Shalom gets sacked by Sky. He's done a terrible job.
