Great to see promoters ignoring these youtube clowns with a blatant agenda and bias and instead only going to credible journalists. Hopefully others follow suit and we might get some actual factual journalism rather than 'I love your new t-shirt Eduardihno' But then, for those that like the Misfits 'bantz' , advocate drugs cheats and literally pretend they have 'sources' these youtube interviews are probably at their level of intellect
At what point was he ever announced for the Wolverhampton show? It might exist, but I certainly havnt seen an fight night advert for that show listing Whittaker as on that card
I have tickets for the wolves show as it’s a couple of miles away. Tickets aren’t selling well and I expect it be canned. I was told by a Whittaker relative back in May that there would be a Wolves card in November and it was for him. They need Eggington to save it imo.
He was never announced, but the plan was for him to fight Ricky Summers on that date. The whole point of going there was for Whittaker to have a big step-up there high on the card. I still like the 2 European Title fights but it doesn't look great from a planning perspective that Whittaker will fight on December instead when he hasn't had an injury. I'm not just talking about IFL and Boxing Social. What about Boxing News (ID Boxing) and SecondsOut?
So, never confirmed for the show then, kind of making the tweet of 'will no longer be on the card' completely pointless as he was never listed on the card - more embarrassing 'journalism', just making things up to suit an agenda.
Meant as his homecoming, Summers pulled out of the Yarde fight as he got a better offer to face Whittaker…
It’s almost sold out though. They’ll be fine. They need to add some more fights to the card though. I mean everyone knows the plan was for Ben Whittaker to fight on the card, he even said himself on Twitter that he’d be fighting in November. There was a lot of hype from people when Clarke and Whittaker signed with Boxxer, but it’s slowly falling away.
From what I have been told it is nowhere near sold out. The official boxxer ticket link shows that there is not many tickets left, however fighters have there own links. For example, you can check Azims link out on his twitter bio. I don’t understand what boxxer are doing. There next show is in less than 4 weeks. A card with only 2 fights announced. The reason they went to that town was for Whittaker who doesn’t look like will be featuring. They’re like an amateur outfit but on the biggest platform. Where is Adam smith?
BBC Sport way down the list of websites for breaking sports news and their mainstream news is filtered by the govt along with Sky News.
Yes where is Adam 'Pecker Peeping' Smith these days? Time to get Fat Mick on Sky to replace the boxxer garbage.
Thanks for saying that as if I said it, I’d be hounded by the usual suspects on here. Dylan Cheema and Gully Powar will also be in 6 rounders on the card. Boxxer haven’t even announced their December show yet. It’s amateur hour for them mate. I feel sorry for their fighters being represented by such a joke of a promotional company to be honest. Boxxer have had a terrible year and I doubt Sky are too happy with them.
Yeah Boxxer have really messed it up on Sky. Seemed like a gamble when they signed and it hasn't paid off
They pretty much are an Amateur outfit. Do they have any experienced boxing people on the team or advising?
I keep hearing they should get Hennessy, Saurland or a few other promoters at Sky, they are much better etc, But all that will happen then is the same few people that praise them now will immediately turn on them should they get the sky gig. See the issue with these people (and it's just a few,including 1 absolute sad act who spends his life on here pretending he has sources in the industry) isn't Shalom,its the fact it isn't Matchroom and they strangely have an allegiance to a promoter rather than a sport so therefore they hate by default. For what it's worth I don't think Boxxer have done particularly well, a few good shows but some bad decisions - but should they (or any one else with Sky gig for that matter) get it right and put on a string of good shows which were great for the sport these people wouldn't enjoy it like the rest of us,they would just be seething and bitter it wasn't matchroom. Sky could put Fury vs Usyk & Crawford vs Spence 2 on the same night for free and these people would still moan as it wasn't Matchroom FC innit promoting it.
