    Problem boxxer has now is they have to get frazer meaningful fights now having turned this down and looking by who they have lined up for him to fight in June they don’t lol.

    every opponent they pick will be derided and compared to wardley.

    The bigger issue is Shalom has no idea what he is doing. Yes he can run an event but he Is in with seriously experienced operators and has no plan. Hearn managed to get by back in the day a he had less competitors in the UK and had his dad to lean on.

    If Queensbury were going to promote George Warren the way they have. Sky should have given him the deal. They could have also split the deal between Wasserman and Boxxer. But he needs some support ASAP as the money must be running out fast.

    Boxxer are quickly being derailed here and exposed as amateurs.
    Threw a load of money at it to sign fighters that don't sell , and the ones that might are pulled out of decent fights. shocking.

    Shalom's main support and backing coming into the sport was built off people wanting to to see someone come in and stick to to Matchroom/Queensberry rather than anything else. It could have been anyone brought in by Sky and it would have been the same.

    Poor cards and rubbish like this will soon see that support dwindle pretty quickly if it hasn't already.

    I've heard that there are real issues behind the scenes at Boxxer. The people that really make the decisions have picked the wrong front man.

    Sure he's a nice guy but he makes Keir Starmer look charismatic.

    Mate Ben has John Wishausen in his team, possibly the most respected man in British boxing and the man who made Matchroom what they are today

    What are Shalom's plans with Bakole ? I heard he could fight Takam on the Riakporhe Goulamirian card in France.

    Fully understand the have Johnny Wish. However he by no means made Matchroom what they are. They are close to a billion dollar company and most of that value was generated when Wish left. But the constant state of the Boxxer/Sky cards and the money that has been wasted giving Joseph Parker deep six figures to fight Jack Massey.

    Many fighters have said the shitshow that is going on at Boxxer and its common knowledge.

    Get Martin to right his wrongs against Hunter as that will put him in good stead and create a headline for him rather than fighter pretend Olympians i

    Clarke needs to start having some meaningful fights,he's 31 and an accomplished amateur,he doesn't need to be in 4,6 or 8 rounders,he needs to start challenging for some titles,british commonwealth etc

    Hearn for months without being specific has mentioned the way some promotions are behaving they won't be in business for long.

    Assume he was talking about Boxxer?

    Awful look for Boxxer. Their product is terrible at the moment. Weak cards and boring main events.

    Would welcome Bakole in a main event soon for sure. The Hunter rematch or someone else of that calibre.

    Why the fcuk did they make an offer to Wardley if they didn't really want the fight.

    Laughable and Shalom has no way out of this.

    Because they offered him a 3 fight deal with the 3rd fighting being against Fraser. So they wanted to build up Fraser a bit more before feeding Wardley to him. Why on earth would Wardley do that.

    Heard a rumour today that Fraser was so angry yesterday he has put it to his team if there is a way he can leave his contract

    Ben should start listening to Johnny if he's got that knowledge in his team.

    I hope your fighter is suing Dillian btw after those appalling comments
