    As the thread title says.

    Glowaki has tested positive for covid. Okolie will still be on the bill. Probably against some numpty now though.

    Cards a shocker for £25. I’ll be joining Jurgen at his angling club meeting

    Will the fight against the numpty still be for the vacant WBO belt?. Assume it will be.

    Was about to ask the same. Assume that’s why Hearn was asking for a top 10 opponent, think that’s the criteria for the belt being on the line.

    If I was any of them I’d jump at the chance, nobody expects you to win so literally nothing to lose - worked for Andy Ruiz.

    Sort of a shame. Yeah I know he’s terrible but I’d predicted this was a night he made a huge statement.

    Supposedly offered it to Cieslak as he is scheduled to fight tomorrow and trying to make it for interim WBO belt hence why they are looking for Top 10 guys.

    not the same name value as Glowacki so hopefully they stick another heavyweight tear up to make up for it.

    If he gets pulled entirely from the bill it will actually be an upgrade tbf

    You'd have to be an A1 clown to take Makubu on 7 days notice.

    The Okolipus is always on the prowl for someone to play grab ass and stinkfinger with.

    Sadly for him, most professional boxers don't fancy the idea of being digitally probed.

    I can’t see them getting someone else in the top 10 to step in in such short notice. I reckon it’ll just be a staying busy opponent. They need to bulk up the show for it to be a worthwhile ppv show now though

    Lets face it Okolie's fight will most likely need to be pulled.

    No one high enough ranked is going to take the fight against him as the away figher on such late notice.
