    I would put my money on it being a certain Olympian who needs to make a big debut on 'DAVE'.....and if I am correct Billy, I would be backing your guy as I think he has a fantastic chance.

    Great shout, I suggested this Is a fight they could try and make in an earlier thread. Huge risk as if you lose to a debutant your ****ed though I would take gamble as I would think Martin has a great chance, though if this is the fight I wouldn't be surprised if Joyce team chsnge their minds !

    No it's not haymakers heavyweight either, you will need to wait and see but if you thought those guys were good opponents your going to be well pleased with who he's got, assuming he doesn't pull out of coarse

    Martin fully believes in himself and any other the names mentioned are potential opponents and ones we'd be confident of beating over championship rounds

    I rate Lewison higher than Allan, Allen is were is is because he's on twitter certainly not through his boxing exploits

    Kamil Sokolowski? That is a tad disappointing Billy, thought you were aiming higher than that.

    When so many refuse to fight him it is very difficult, Kamil is a tough guy but I fully expect Martin to dispatch him.
    Word has spread how good Martin is from sparring the very best in uk

    The amount of British Heavyweights managers that have said "no thanks" is remarkable, Kanin is a tough man, Martin will train hard and to what he does

    Sokolowski is a decent test for any prospect he's been robbed of a few decisions and suffered imo a soft stoppage against Gorman it will definitely show what level Martins at.
