Announcing today for a show at the Wembley Arena. Seems a awful date choice clashing with UFC London. Main event is actually better than it looks I think with Kalajdzic having a split decision loss with Marcus Browne. Have seen people saying he should fight Yarde but would be a huge gamble from Yardes perspective with the WBO position.
All the good domestic light heavies we have means you cant help but be disappointed with this. Why wont they all just fight each other???
Agree, I understand Yarde not taking it with his position, but still a shame. Will have the David Avvenysian vs the random finish lad. So will need something on the card
Meh Frank wont really care about the television figures and more about the gate on this one. BT just been sold to Eurosport so logic would dictate having more Europeans on the card will be good for him
Great Matchmaking.... Cant wait to watch. Why on earth can Frank not match the Johnson and Avaneysan fights properly. How does this build Ava to a bigger fight, Literally everyone says hes high risk low reward and has no profile.... so surely match him to increase his profile. Could we not have had; Johnson vs Gonzalez, Bolotniks or Salamov Avaneysan vs Granados or Formella (let him finish guys Benn couldnt get out of there) Sheeraz going up to middle will fight a taxi driver but could fight Brian Rose or Yildrim
Just a question on the UFC - is it actually going to clash? Or is it going to be one of them stupid ones where even though it’s in the UK it’s a 3/4/5am main event?
Well UFC is on BT right? so i doubt it will clash, i think they meant from a ticket buyers perspective?
Bloody hell, he's out of the fight before the fights been announced. That's got to be some sort of record. I think he should pack it in. He's impossible to promote.
Has there been a more Injury prone boxer than Johnson. He's like the Michael Owen of boxing. What a waste of a career
Callum should just retire tbh. His inactivity and history of pulling out of fights is just miserable. I dont think his heart has ever really been in the sport- maybe it was more his late father's dream than his. Hes 37 soon and he was getting bashed around abit by that journeyman last time. He had a free voluntary shot at Smith Jnr and he managed to catch covid...obviously it's not completely in his control, but most fighters would have been almost OCD and super paranoid, with that fight on the line.
