I’ve seen on the BBBodC circular that the fight is scheduled to take place in Scotland. Seems strange because Warren doesn’t have many Scottish fighters. I can only think of Hutchinson that Frank has, unless I’m forgetting somebody.
Willy H fighting on the 28th, so what 8 weeks? Not sure I would plan a card around him? Is a really odd one. Could be miles out, Lee McGregor was with Probellum. So Lee headlines his first show for QP?
So far something like this for British promoters (not including Matchroom's US fights). A lot of rumors for various events obviously, but right now this is very weak. Too many TBA's. JAN 21 Eubank Jr - Smith (Boxxer) PPV JAN 28 Beterbiev - Yarde (QB) FEB 4 FEB 10 McGoldrick - Allan (Eaton) FEB 11 Azim - Reyes (Boxxer) FEB 17 Adeleye - Bezus (QB) FEB 18 Wood - Lara (MR) FEB 24 Dilmaghani - Dillon (Eaton) FEB 25 Ritson - Davies (Probellum) MAR 4 MAR 10 Frank - Harris (Eaton) MAR 11 Okolie - Light (Boxxer), TBA.

Pointless. Surely if they want to give Adeleye some exposure then get him on the undercard of Yarde Beterbiev.
complete garbage across all platforms because nobody will work with each other (apart from Frank feeding his no-hopers to Arum) promoter wars must end
Ryan Garner who was meant to fight Muhammed Ali last year. The reason the fight was killed, Ryan Garner when going to sparring in the morning had a lorry crash into them on the M25 and smashed them into the central reservation. This was the last sparring session before the fight. As genuine reasons to pull out of a fight go.
Looks like Joshua Franklin will take place on April 15. That means Joyce's date will have to be moved I guess.
Queensbury shaping up nicely; Cain vs Baluta, Joyce vs Zhang, Paul vs Fury, all really interesting fights. Apparently Sam Noakes and Dennis McCain are on the Joyce undercard. Matchroom announce their schedule next week, and Boxxer also announce theirs I believe. A good start to 2023 in comparison to 2022
