    The way his career has gone since the Buglioni loss over a year and a half ago has been disappointing too say the least, he’s fought cans ever since and hasn’t had a fight for 6 months now, has Eddie completely forgotten about him?

    I’ve never really been impressed by Burton personally- I doubt Eddie is either. He sells no tickets, has no personality and couldn’t even beat Buglioni when he was the better fighter and others have dealt with Frank in brutal fashion. Last time, I saw him he was struggling to beat a journeyman who ended up walking Burton down.

    I heard somewhere that Eddie in his desperation with the DAZN stuff was trying to feed him to Bivol- I guess he was trying to get him to sign for him like Beterbiev.

    Maybe the US thing might open up an unexpected opportunity for Hosea- he won’t be good enough but it is what it is.

    Lol fights like that shouldn't even be allowed to be sanctioned. That would rival Eddie chucking in Dave Allen to Luiz Ortiz for 9k.

    Yeah I think he’s British level tbh, would be good for him too get the Buglioni rematch now that Buglioni has taken a loss and there nowhere else either of them can go right now

    Met him in Belfast he is ****ing huge. Seemed a good fellow but his weight ATM where does he go? Everything seems tied up.

    Craig Richards would be a good fight for him to work towards another shot at the British

    Hearn doesn't like promoting travellers. Hence Martin j ward,Hosea and Isaac Lowe

    Tbf, i'm surprised people still go to travellers fights, they ruin everywhere they go, bullying and taking the ****...Probably the only thing I agree with Hearn on

    He should take on the mighty Fournier and gain a WBA ranking.

    Richards looks like he's fighting Jake Ball on the Oct 27th card

    Why doesn't Hearn put him in with Buatsi? Since he's always offering Buatsi to Yarde team.
