Ben Shalom is an absolute laughing stock His big prospect who he claimed was the 'future of british boxing' and 'best prospect in world boxing' Ben Whittaker got completely exposed as a feather fisted hypejob. His other big hope Frazer Clarke got brutally anihilated in 1 round Jack Massey took an L, Tyler Denny lost in 2 rounds the other week, before that Richard Riakporhe ( who he wanted to win over Billam-Smith), Dan Azeez, Isaac Chamberlain, Chris Kongo, Zak Chelli, Florian Marku and so on His stable is weak, his choice of signings have been absolutely terrible from day one, ticket sales are poor. He's single handedly destroyed Sky Sports Boxing and them irrelevant in boxing. He wasted loads of money on who he claimed was going to be the ''face of sky sports boxing'' Lawrence Okolie only for him to lose and then leave Boxxer And who does he sign recently, two mid 30s' guys who aren't good enough for the top level in Chris Eubank Jr and Anthony Yarde He has no one good coming through, Adam Azim is completely overrated like Whitaker, he's bang average, in too tough a division, and I wouldn't even be surprised if he lost soon too. And nobody cares about female boxing, yet he's hilariously made that one of his main priorities. Surely Sky will not renew his contract when it runs out next year.
Makes sense. As for Boxxer. I've been saying it since they got the Sky contract. The man is out of his depth. "Hearn and Warren are bullying poor Ben" His stable is rubbish and his cards are crap, pull the plug.
Bit harsh imo, me personally I quite like Ben, its obvious him having the Sky contract has annoyed Eddie especially as I think he thought Sky would collapse without him giving them content. Its early for Ben and his company to get the Sky contract for sure but I think we should give him more of a chance instead of constantly putting him down when he's finding his feet amongst the big boys... who in fact are trying to stop his progression by constantly trying to make him fail/ look bad. Lets see how things go over the next couple of years imo before judgement
Since this thread in October 2024 just 14 months ago. Joshua Buatsi, Martin Bakole (KO'd in 2 rounds), Dan Azeez, Chris Billam-Smith, Natasha Jonas, Michael Mckinson, Dan Azeez., Scott Forrest (KO'd in 1 round), Lee Cutler. Chloe Watson, Natasha Jonas, Mark Jeffers, Rhys Edwards ALL HAD LOSSES In June 2025, Ben Shoalom lost his Sky Deal, with Sky choosing not to renew it. He single-handedly destroyed the machine that was Sky Sports Boxing. Ben Whittaker, Caroline Dubois, Joshua Buatsi, Viddal Riley all leave Boxxer Chris Eubank Jr lost on his first BBC Show in November, Frazer Clarke loses in the main event (in front of hardly any spectators) on his 2nd BBC show tonight, Callum Simpson gets knocked out in the main event (on a show where on the whole bill there's only 2 Boxxer fighters) Very Bleak times for Ben Shalom/BoxxerI mean does this clown really doesn't have a clue what he's he's doing. All his fighters are losing (or leaving). Worst promoter ever.
