That's nonsense. Many small hall shows around the country can put on competitive fights, we dont need to world title eliminators against a top...
Exactly. If the will is there it can be made. If this doesnt get made now, it will never happen.
61,000 viewing figures for Saturday night boxing isnt working too well either. Its not rocket science good competitive match making should be the...
