Sky Sports and Gareth A Davies both reporting contracts are signed. Rumours of a press conference Wednesday and April 23rd at Wembley.
I’m glad it’s April. Would’ve been annoying if they’d dragged it out until May/June. Hopefully Usyk vs Joshua 2 is within 4 weeks or so and an undisputed fight can be made for the Autumn.
Will be interesting to see if Whyte has negotiated a few of his ‘stable’ on the card. Wardley and Babic could feature in that case. Imagine Babic vs Dubois!
None of his stable are on the card. Already confirmed the card is going to be fairly weak as they need to save to break even. you will have Jared Anderson plus a couple additional top rank fighters on the card likely to be Richard Torrez and Keyshawn Davis. Plus Frank is likely to put Tommy Fury, Dennis McCann on the card. will all be in tickovers with one semi decent fight as the chief support.
Yeah, you can't expect anything resembling a decent undercard after that pursebid. Certainly not Babic vs Dubois, which with current (low) standards could be a PPV headliner on its own.
Read this morning there’s a few more things to iron out concerning tax - I assume that’ll get sorted and everything confirmed officially by teatime?
A few of the Top Rank fighters appearing in Glasgow at the weekend will likely be on. Paddy Donovan (trained by Andy Lee is a certainty), Kurt Walker & Kieran Molloy. I'm surprised Top Rank haven't signed a few UK fighters as well to build on the Taylor and Fury undercards.
