    I fancied a bet is all. I don't care for a bet if its Harrison, I doubt that will tempt me!

    All betting sites still have the fight listed. The lack of info only a few days out is startling if its true.

    Wow very interesting. Thanks for alerting me to the latest developments. Cannot say I was aware about McCloskey versus Morrisson being off. I would be absolutely astounded if they want to get in there with us and derail McCloskey's career. Our sights are set on bigger fish like Witter, Devon Alexander etc However the opportunity to go into a world title fight as the combined, Nigerian, African Boxing Union, Commonwealth, British and European champion might be to good an opportunity not to take. I like McCloskey a lot actually and was very impressed with the public service he did against Lynes.

    I think you would be foolish to take a fight with McCloskey! :p

    He would take advantage of Olusegun's wide and wild punching at times with his counterpunching and defence.

    I would never slag McCloskey off. However I think the foolish action would be for McCloskey to take on Ajose especially at this stage of his career. The shame is you mistake Ajose punching variety. Ajose has so many ways to skin a cat. Ajose is not Colin Lynes is all I would say. Like I have already said I like McCloskey a lot actually.

    He's good imo yeah,throws some nice crosses, decent body punches, maybe needs to vary his punches a bit more though, think it maybe a bit of a big task this one though, taking it at only 2 weeks notice like, I hope i'm wrong though, really want the lad to be the first to bring that Lonsdale belt back to Wolverhampton in a long time.

    His only defeat was a close points decision for the English title against Scott Haywood, many people had Dean as winning it, also took that one at late notice.

    Come on Deano!!
