    So the Lara fight is now just a 12 rounder with no belts etc?

    Exactly what we were told over 19 months ago after he got the decision over Galahad. He then boxed Takoucht and Lara is next.

    Not sure why you lot are so buzzed he's got his title shot so do the business and let the Josh fight simmer for 18 months, everybody makes a bit more cash and there is potentially an all British unification grudge match, also in that time we will have forgotten how Galahad stunk out the place during the first fight.

    Actually mentioned in a previous thread about where Warrington goes next, that the fight going to purse was a sign that Warrington and team weren’t keen on the rematch and that it was a win win for kid anyhow

    Warrington has given his belt up so he doesn't have to fight him. Do you think he will even be around in 18 months?

    Obviously it's a bitter pill to swallow for Galahad as it's his money fight but Josh has bigger money to make against high profile fighters, Lara is obviously a stop gap fight to shake of ring rust. I would advise Galahad to use this opportunity to show the public exactly what he is capable off and if he puts in a few good performances the public will call for it. Ball is in his court now.

    If Warrington goes on to have a big fight stateside against Russell jr after Lara then that’s fair enough. If he doesn’t then he will look silly and loss a lot of fans

    Can someone explain why he didn't just fight Galahad instead of this Lara and got his mandatory out of the way?

    Surely he gets to keep the belt and then in a position to set up unification fights.

    He doesn't bring anything to the table now surely?

    Gary Russell is due a mandatory and only fights once a year.

    So looks like they’re pinning all their hopes on Can Xu.

    Also pinning their hopes on whether Santa Cruz vacates.

    it’s a sticky situation for Warrington and MR by the looks of it

    I've had a lot of abuse on these pages and PM's for this, but as I've said, if Warrington was confident of beating Galahad the fight would have happened months ago.
