    Ahhh, re-signs! I read 'resigns' as in he's quit SBO, now that would've been a story!

    3 years, 2 fights a year, adding up to about £120 in total!

    Anyway, not surprising news although I did wonder if he might just branch out on his own and ditch Hearn at some point, not that it would have been a better or worse move

    Get the feeling he wont. Matchroom taking 20% is nothing to AJ. Why take on the hassle of promoting when he has Matchroom who are very good at it doing all the work and taking a small piece of the pie

    Whatever happened to that $500 million offer from Dana White?


    Anyway, good news for UK boxing fans, AJ will be fighting in the UK and on PPV so we have more bang average cards to look forward too with AJ topping the bill.. YAY

    I can't wait for Benn Vs Peynaud III, could be FOTY again.

    There was no $500 mil offer. UK press ran a BS story

    We can rule out AJ ever fighting Wilder then.

    Always likely he was going to renew his contract with Matchroom. Its a smart move by him.
