    Makes no sense it being in New York. Matchroom failure!

    Agree, one would think they might want to exploit the Aussie-England angle with a world title on the line.

    Doubt too many in America will care for this?

    I hope all goes well for him, I like Darren, a real classy guy but it's a shame the fight is in the states. Undoubtedly going to get a lot of stick after tonight though which is uncalled for IMO.

    Why announce this now ? I think it's because they knew Purdy would lose and wanted to end the night with positive news.

    HBO money trumps everything, Geale is trying to make a name flr himself in the US, and Shaw obviously didn't want to come to the UK.

    Would you rather Barker fights Geale in the US or Prozska at Ally Pally?

    England is not the only country in the world. The fight was announced in Australia and Hearn announced it at the same time.

    Seriously are you guys boxing fans? This is a great fight you should be hyped!
