    I see Sam Eggington is fighting Joe Pigford on the Okolie v Billam Smith undercard. Will be best fight on the night imo. Great piece of matchmaking. Very fan friendly styles. Can only see a war whilst it lasts. What's everyone's thoughts on this match up ?.

    I don't know much about Pigford but 19 KO's in 20 albeit at a lowest level suggests he can crack and Sam has never been the most defensive.
    Pigford for the win?

    Pigford was a big talent once upon a time but 20 fights in 10 years tells me a lot about his dedication and love for the sport. I fancy Pigford to win still but nothing would surprise me.

    If anybody in boxing deserves a big payday it's Eggington. He has literally shortened the quality of his life massively for our entertainment

    Blatently, he must really enjoy trading fists as he has never worked on any real kind of defence

    Love the guy, but he needs a payday to fall back on

    Never ever disappointed watching Sam Egg fighting and a great addition to the card.

    Derek Chisora's legal team will be in touch soon for breaching his WAR trade mark

    Excellent fight, very excited about this one. Makes sense as Pig is from Southampton. Finally somewhat of a step up for Pigford. I can see him getting the win with a late KO.
