    He meant he had a limp and was called Ian

    Sky again showing another card on Sky Showcase. Only Buatsi Stepien and not the rest of the card will be shown on Sky Sports Main Event.

    Boxxer also failed to make Tasha Jonas against Brakehaus or has chosen to fight Terri Harper instead.

    Great news, means even more sports fans can watch the sport. Giving its fighters much more exposure can only be a good thing

    Maybe they are announcing his World Title fight in France ?

    Shocking if they are sending him to France on the budget they have.

    It was just an announcement that Riakporhe extended his contract with Boxxer. Ben Shalom did mention in Poland that they were planning on another show in France with a World Title fight, so I presumed it would be Riakporhe against Goulamirian.

    @Trafford Seems like it's true that it'll happen in France as I said last month on here.

    Surely Sky need to get an experienced figure in to help Ben Shalom and Savage Dan. They are doing a great job promoting Adam Azim but some of their signings and management of fighters has been bizarre. Why is Frazer Clarke fighting a guy who lost to Jeamie TKV last time out ? Makes no sense for his 7th fight, especially since he won't be fighting Wardley next.

    Ben Shalom does not have a clue. He didn't wanna sign elite amateurs Mccormack or McGrail - probably the best two prospects in the country. . Instead he pushes the Azims and female boxers and other bums. Lol Strange.

    When your top talents are Lawrence Okolie and Hughie Fury, you know you are in deep trouble.

    Fight Disciples saying Sky pulled the plug on the purse bids for Frazer as the valuation of the fight didn't match what Shalom wanted to offer at purse bids

    That sounds plausible enough. Have to wonder why DAZN would invest in it either though.

    And what does that legitimately have to do with Sky.
    If Sky pay Ben £200k for the fight and he offers £400k it’s his money. Sky are quids in.

    that sounds like fight disciples covering and buttering up as in the know
