    Yes, but no tv for that one.

    June 8th is turning into a very decent night of boxing, 3 very good cards and now this

    Channel 5 - Degale (+ prospects on undercard)

    Huck Vs Afolabe (+ T Dickinson and Ajisafe on undercard) - Hopefully BN picks this up as it's peak UK time and won't affect Maidana fight

    Boxnation - Maidana Vs Lopez (plus solid undercard)

    Dawson Vs Stevenson (plus solid undercard) - Hopefully Sky picks this up to build Bellew fight.

    Great news. Glad they're staying in boxing.

    Looking forward to seeing more of Galahad & Hughie Fury.

    Hopefully we'll get another crazy interview with the big clown in his snap back telling us how good he is & accusing his rivals of been gay lovers.

    4 future world champions. 5 including Tyson.

    The future is looking bright. British boxings top promoter Mick Hennessy can take it out of the doldrums.

    Mick Hennessey somehow, when no other promoter can get fighters on terrestrial TV! Somehow has made it happen.

    All these boxers moving to MatchRoom are foolish.

    I would stay away from Sky, if i was a professional boxer.

    Supposedly DeGale asked to step in and fight Pascal when Bute pulled out.
     
  8. Dgale should go for Bika, Groves for Steiglitz, big unification down the line

    He has got a knack of getting his product out there for sure. Hennessey is in a pretty good place with his stable and the addition of Hughie Fury means that he now has five (six with Daws) marketable fighters.

    That's true, DeGale confirmed it. The below is taken from a company that sponsors him (I should add, I work with James and for said company):

    So Chris Eubank Jr was in Marbella last weekend steamed up going round asking girls if they wanted photos with him. Haha!

    Don't think he's fighting anyone half decent so he should be ok. The whole card is welcome but very short notice.
