    Wayne McCullough had pulled out of Prizefighter. Choi's managment told me yesterday that he could make the Bantamweight limit. They were told last week that he would be considered if McCullough failed his medical, which he passed, however he has not withdrawn with a hand injury.

    This is a campaign to get Choi into Prizefighter.

    Few people to email

    email all 3 telling them that the only man to replace McCullough is Choi.

    Lets get him in. I confirm I have been told by Choi's team that he can make the weight limit of the Prizefighter competition.

    Great news that Wayne is out. I hope we can get Choi in, but I think it will fall on deaf ears - sort of like people trying to get El Maachi in the light-middle one before.

    He's already been replaced by Willie Casey. They're talking about it in the Irish boxing thread.

    lets not let that stop us. Matchroom are a forward thinking company. If they see a demand for a fighter, Choi will get his chance. you just need to right a small email it will take 2 minutes.

    just copy and paste this to the 3 emails

    Hi,

    I am a big boxing fan and a fan of prize-fighter. I think the last few have not been particularly great, and the latest line up for the Super Bantamweights is the worse yet.

    No that McCullough has pulled out, the show is lacking some star names. There is only one man that the fans would want to replace him, and that is Choi Tseveenpurev.

    He has the perfect style for Prizefighter and the fans really love him. In his comeback fight last year 1000 tickets were sold in London.

    Get Choi in!!!

    Kind Regards,

    So what's Barry gonna do? Ring up willie and go "Wotcha willie, I know we've said your in Prizefighter and everything, but a few geeks on an internet forum have emailed saying they'd rather see some mongolian dude instead, so we've given him the gig. On yer bike sonny."

    Nah, can't see it.:patsch

    You think an extremly smart business man like Hearn would give a **** about Willie if there was enough pressure. and the chances are theres another pull out.

    Thanks for the campaign Rob. It is frustrating. I did pester Johnny Wish (who I've got a lot of time for personally) about having Choi on Prizefighter. In the end they decided against it.

    As a promoter myself I don't understand it. People have criticised some recent Prizefighters and can you think of a more exciting fighter to be in it than Choi?

    You can see Choi on June 4 at the York Hall. He's fighting Mickey Coveney - a replacement for Harry Ramogaudi. He'd love to have your support (add him on Facebook as well, he'll give you a free boxing lesson if you buy a ticket off him).

    I'm doing everything now to get him a big name opponent for when he's next out in September/October.
