    While not confirmed it is expected that Chris Eubank Jr will face Michael Zerafa in the co main of Tim Tszyu vs Errol Spence on July 25th in Gold Coast, Australia.

    Former WBO featherweight world champion Robeisy Ramirez will return to the ring on May 29th in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. He will take on Asror Vokhidov(13-1) of Tajikistan.

    Who’s the unlucky sod they’re putting Itauma in with, do we think?

    Also, if Frank has done this largely to disrupt Zuffa’s pulling potential for the Callum Walsh show, I really respect that.

    I think Hrgovic if he doesn't get cut against Allen.

    Who on earth is paying Eubank his kinda fee to travel firstly and then to fight that quitter?

    How did Zerafa get a high profile fight after his latest "no mas"?

    How could anybody bill Eubank Jr - Zerafa as co-main to Tszyu- Spence with a straight face?

    the skill difference is so lopsided that I’d bet Hrgovic manages to not get cut.

    I’m thinking this was the deal. Hrgovic got some big money two fight deal for one easy fight, and then walking into hell. Probably over 5mm total to get him to do it. The point of the Allen fight is for Hrgovic to look good (which he will), and then feed him to Ituama.

    issue for Ituama is that unlike everybody else, Hrgovic is going to show up to win, and won’t give AF about Ituama’s power. He was walking through Dubois’s best, only cuts from headbutts stopped him. This is a serious fight for Ituama, a true test, a potential banana peel. Be very interested to see what happens when Ituama lands some blistering power combo and Hrgovic doesn’t blink and instead cracks him right back with a right hand to the jaw. Ituama is used to everybody going down when he lands a quick power shot or two. Yeah, that ain’t happening against Hrgovic.

    and we get into a war? Ituama isn’t used to being hit. Hrgovic is the most durable in the division.

    I would have to bet on Ituama, but this is like a 55/45 thing. There's so much more proven about Hrgovic. He’s a legit top 10 HW. Ituama has never faced one of those.

    Totally agree with this, but it's also a possible masterstroke for the casuals, Eubank Jr is a clown, but people know who he is, and the fact he's gonna be fighting in Australia will generate engagement for the fight, even if they are both shite.

    Feels more like powder puff level exhibition territory to me, two old, clapped out and money hungry hype jobs. Now our man Jai fighting The Monster, that is the biggest actual boxing match able to be made in terms of quality; and it will shut up the nobodies putting Jai down for handling whoever they put in front of him.

    Would have thought 100% Zerafa would take much longer time off out of the spotlight after the last outing.

    Eubank by stoppage

    The biggest bullshitter on the planet, Eddie Hearn. Pathological liars have straight faces.

    The interesting heavyweight fights keep coming.

    It's got to be Hrgovic or Gassiev for the WBA regular.
