So, Herbie Hide is coming back and it looks like Bellew and Cleverley may not be fighting anytime soon as Bellew has a defence of his title lined up for September.
I don't see why not. Fighters don't box anywhere near often enough these days, apart from the journeymen. The crack is that he was supposed to be fighting Morales in Vegas. That got pulled but a lot of his family and friends had booked non-refundable trips out there so they're trying to get him on the undercard and make the best of it. Hope he doesn't get a bad cut or something though.
Tony Bellew vs Paul David was one I was surprised to see. And who is managing / promoting Herbie Hide these days?
Theyve been making that fight between Hide and Norton for months but nobody puts any bids up for it. Matthew Hall v Jamie Cox is a good fight that will go under the radar.
I thought it was Morales. A journeyman to knock over in front of his family would be best. He deserves a supersoft opponent if hes got a title fight the month after.
