    Adam targeting a world title shot end of this year .. Hitchins is on the radar..

    I think that's a good route to a world title shot..

    Class fighter, class person. Getting better with every fight. Tough fight next month but he's stepped up every time so far. Would be great if he gets a world title shot this year

    Numpty ain’t even in the top 15. Hitchins got Kambosos then either mando vs Matias/valenzuela or Catterall unification if it comes off Hitchins tied up to 2026 at the earliest

    Adam is in a rush , but when your good enough your old enough .. Shane swore on his life he never seen anything like Adam up close from any of his fighters he trained this week in the presser lol . Apparently Adam looking amazing in training sparring ..

    Well it's refreshing to see a 22 year old wanting and naming a champion to fight this year .. Dalton nearly 30 saying that same thing now lol

    Levels to this game I guess ..

    Is that the same Dalton Smith who's tickets have been given away for free in masses on seat filler sites for his last 5 or 6 headlined events?

    .....another free night out coming up in Nottingham on Jan 25th!

    Ahh yes they have the massive Vegas show on the same day, Not the MGM or T-Mobile arena, the 'Chelsea function room' at the cosmopolitan hotel. How could I forget that!

    You know full well rankings can be altered to suit anyone

    Dont pretend he couldn't end up in the top 15 at any point

    Top 15 won’t cut it if the belt still with Hitchins. He will need to be mandatory. Thats likely 2 years off. Also wasn’t saying numpty that I don’t like him. More that he’s been built incorrectly somewhat as he’s not even in the Top 15 of any governing body. None of the champs will fight him unless it’s a mandatory and due to not even being in said rankings he’s two years minimum away from it. Only option I can see unless he fits someone like Matias or Pitbull this year is to fight someone like Hiraoka this year. But Ben would have to pay through the roof and the Sky deal is ticking

    Talking of world titles after vacating a European title cause a live opponent was put forward to then announce a fight that wasn't signed to then fight a completely different fighter who'd just been stopped in a round or 2.
    His a talented kid but statements like this and the actions that have happened are embarrassing.

    How did Kambosos get in the top 15 then if it’s such a closed shop and rankings can’t be amended to suit? :lol: Kambosos has never fought at 140 and is coming off a KO loss.

    Boxxer haven't done a bad job with him at all

    Definitely could have done better but it's no disaster

    Are you hinting at fighting Dalton Smith would have been the way to go?
