******’s next promotion is scheduled for 22 September, when Dagenham’s Kevin Mitchell challenges Ricky Burns for the World Boxing Organisation’s lightweight title, and though both fighters remain fully licensed by the BBBofC, the promoter admits that the FLB may yet sanction their showdown in a move that would further undermine the BBBofC’s authority. “I’m actually debating it,” said ******. “I’m actually thinking about where to go with [Mitchell versus Burns]. “We did save money [using the FLB]. Their sanctioning fees are nowhere near [the same as the BBBofC’s], and it opened my eyes. I thought ‘wow, I’ve never thought about this side of it’. And the boxers also saved money as far as sanctioning fees are concerned, so it makes you wonder.” http://www.cityam.com/sport/boxing-faces-shake-******-considers-licensing-breakaway
Lol brilliant if he never uses the bbboc again, could additionally help stop the soft stoppages Ian John Lewis and British refs in general, are notorious for, if he gets to pick/use European referees instead of British ones. The bbboc could have really shot themselves in the foot here.
i agree , **** the bbboc .. good move frank. i am sure the boxers will like it too with more money for them,
The Daily Mail this morning says: "Indeed, Sportsmail understands plans are well underway for the LBF to stage a smaller event in Newport, south Wales in September".
It wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that two of his ex-boxers are pushing the board to take his license then?
