    Have no idea how good this Yesimovich is so can't really comment on whether he should take the fight or not....away in Ukraine though it might be best to wait a bit...

    Can't see Burns-Mitchell happening either unfortunately, would be a nice little scrap. Maybe Ricky Burns-Nicky Cook

    john simpson has been at the forgewood ABC gym here in motherwell, for a couple of sparring sessions with barry morrison, 6 rounds 1st session and 8 rounds in the 2nd session just last week, barry says he's very strong for a featherweight, and looked sharp and fit.

    barry also is back to enjoying training once again and is happy with the way his diet is going, at the doctors orders ofcourse, working on strength and fitness mostly, and he has set his sights on an undercard slot on the olusegun vs daws show, as matchroom have won the purse bids, and also promises no more high profile pullouts due to dietry related virus's and infections.

    FORMER WBO super-featherweight boxing champion Alex Arthur has received both good and bad news from his manager Frank Warren about his fighting future.
    Arthur, who made an emphatic ring comeback at lightweight by stopping French opponent Mohamed Benbiou in just 92 seconds in Glasgow two weeks ago, said.The bad news is that my next fight, which was scheduled for July, is off and Frank has told me I won't now fight until around September 12.
    "However, the good news is that Frank aims to have me fight three times in the remainder of 2009 – aimed at getting me a world lightweight title fight. So, in the meantime, I'm going back to the Lochend gym to train hard under my coach Terry McCormack."
    Arthur will be rubbing shoulders with famous company at Lochend as former world lightweight champion Ken Buchanan is back in training at the gym. The pair have agreed to box a single round in a special sponsorship sparring session against English boxer Nathan Taylor in the Lochend gym on Monday, 27 July. McCormack said: "It is to raise funds for American middleweight Gerard McClellan, who was paralysed and blinded in a title clash with Nigel Benn back in 1995. Taylor is boxing well-known ring stars past and present one round each all over Britain."
    The fight will be open to the public with final details being worked on.
