    Is this down to Liam Smith again? Big blow to boxxer. Was probably stupid handing the reigns to Ben Shalom who has no proven track record anyway but I think big corporations like Sky are probably more worried a promoter has a clean cut image and hasn't posted a tweet 10 years ago that could be perceived as transphobic than someone who's actually up to the job.

    Also think there might be some sabotage with other promoters going on too. Anyway expect Sky to employ a lesbian or something along those lines if things with Ben don't work out.

    I'd say it's good thing, it's a rematch none of us really need to see.

    Eubank should retire and Smith be allowed to focus with moving forward with his career as he doesn't have many fights left in him.

    Would have liked to have seen the rematch, the pair have great chemistry as rivals and I'm interested to see if Smith hurting him was a bit of a fluke or not.

    I don't want to criticise Ben Shalom but they announced the rescheduled date for July 1 on Sky Sports and started selling tickets again, so it's likely he's made a huge error. Surely they would have signed the contract for the new date before announcing it and putting tickets on sale ?

    I'd rather see Eubank against Benn next instead to be honest.

    I presume Heffron Chelli, Jonas and Whittaker stay on the card ?

    Put a speech & Q&A on with Mr Charisma himself, Ben Shalom instead of the main event. They’ll be queuing around the corner,

    Why would anyone want to see Benn fight? He’s a drug cheat ffs.

    I reckon he would be stopped in his tracks by the full stop.

    Shameful isn't, how can anyone who feels this way class themselves as fans of the sport.....they clearly are not.

    Let them keep making the comments, all the while just showing themselves up.

    When Hearn said the fight wasn't happening, that must have been Liam Smith who told him that.
