Itauma v Huni Buatsi v Smith 2 Yarde v Whittaker Joyce v Allen White v Fisher Bentley v Liddard O'Doherty v Visioli Looks OK
Its on the Pro Boxing Fans page. Don't think it's official but apparently Hearn says it's there or there abouts. Certainly looks plausible
Don’t really care for the concept or gimmick to be honest. Just want to see good fights, not bothered about who promotes who and which side gets more wins.
I'd be very surprised if Whittaker does fight Yarde. Looks a good card though, if it all comes off. Makes me all misty eyed for the old days, when cards like that weren't as rare as rocking horse ****.
Can only see Whittaker getting matched with someone like Chelli out of Warren's fighters at that weight, as Fast Car has too much invested in him and the others in his stable. I mean, if Whittaker, Bosh, Allen and Liddard all lose, that's Matchroom not only taking an absolute pasting, but facing a ball-breaking rebuild afterwards. Although maybe Eddie's gone full AJ v Dubois and decided to roll the dice.
I think they might, Yarde is 36 next year, has lost everytime he's stepped up to the top level. What's his best win? Arthur a few years ago maybe. This is straight out of the Matchroom playbook, find a shot to peices aging fighter who has a name that casuals will recognise then declare their fighter a world beater when he wins......all the while avoiding the genuine challenges. But overall looks a good card and we have been starved of those recently so hopefully it happens
That would be a really fun card but I can see the official lineup being significantly less impressive.
