    Would be an absolute cracker this one if it gets made. Sounds positive if the 2 promotors are working together this is exactly what we need more of

    Boxxer and Queensberry should work together more whilst Hearn is messing about in school halls in Florida or Japan or whatever it is this week. Work out a series of fights where it’s Boxxer v Queensberry and they’re shown alternatively on Sky and BT.

    So Jeamie TKV lost on Saturday at York Hall to a short-notice replacement. I think even Johnny Fisher would beat him.

    Ben Shalom also did no interviews on Youtube. Is that because of his slip-up about Buatsi vs Yarde?

    Buatsi hasn’t even beaten Azeez yet so he should be less vocal about it.

    Could be because he isn’t desperate for the cameras like Eggie Hearn.

    Anyone know what happened to the world title shot Riakporhe was supposed to have after withdrawing from the purse bids for Jai Opetaia?

    Boxxer still haven’t got anything announced after their show on November 18 in Wolverhampton. Surely Ben Whittaker will be on that card (against Ricky Summers?)

    Seems like they’re struggling to put the money up for the Billam-Smith vs Okolie rematch.

    Seemed to go well last time infront of a big crowd in Bournemouth.

    Problem is that they can’t go to the Vitality Stadium this time so unless the broadcaster or promoter takes a hit they won’t be able to make the rematch, hence the delay and why Shalom was desperate for Okolie to move up to heavyweight.

    What happened to Rhiakpirhe's guaranteed World Title shot that Ben Shalom was planning for Paris? Terrible news for Boxxer and what a mess for them in the cruiserweight division that they did have a good hold of.

    Same person bumping this thread every time. Alone in desperately hoping that Sky are going to give up on boxing

    Be careful mate - I defended another users comment which challenged his point of view last week and I received abusive private messages, in amongst the obscenities was a demand that a delete my post supporting another user!!

    You'll probably get hammered for daring to type that!

    Absolutely desperate for anyone other than Matchroom to fail

    The plan was for CBS to lose to Okolie and then have Okolie vs Riak on PPV but CBS put paid to that and left them in a hole
