    I’ve heard Adam Smith has cancer.

    Benn should never be allowed to fight again.

    Anyway hope Shalom gets the finger out and makes a few signing , he’s making a dogs dinner of it so far.

    He needs to stand up to Hearn

    He's built up a good stable in my opinion. As long as he keeps most the current crop over the next 2 years he can do big things.

    Surely Callum Smith wants to be on Sky full time. Even though he's signed to DAZN his last 2 have been on Sky and is next one is also. He'll have seen the publicity Liam's fight with Eubank got and realised DAZN can't match that.

    That’s a decent shout. I don’t think there are many available though tbh.

    Callum wants the big fights and realises the money for him and the fights are with DAZN. If he wins he has the undisputed fight with Bivol sitting there for him. He aint getting that on Sky. You last point is also invalid as you will see what Liam thinks by where he fights post his Sky deal expiring. He is not happy that the contract he has with Eubank has left him in limbo for six months. He is now fit and ready to go into camp and but waiting on his promoter to sort something out for him. If he doesnt fight Eubank and has been made to give up the Zhanibek fight he is left with not many options on Sky.

    Outside of Canelo when Smith had about 4 weeks notice and had to contend with his promoter running round in Canelo pyjamas what have DAZN done for Smith? Set up a fight with Pawel Stepien which absolutely nobody would have watched? His last 2 have been on Sky and his next is with Top Rank.

    Smith wanted an easy-touch before Beterbiev which is why he fought Stepien. He was paid a huge amount of money to fight John Ryder after the WBSS, and was also chief support to Joshua-Ruiz at MSG against a Middleweight Hassan N'Dam. Smith is pretty much set for life. If Beterbiev knocks him out, Smith will likely retire and raise his children.

    Smith did have short-notice for Canelo but he did know he was on a shortlist for the potential opponents. I don't think there was a rehydration clause either.

    I know who’s he fought mate and I was at the N’Dam fight. You’ve just proved my point that he’s more than capable of earning money outside of DAZN :lol:

    In both instances Matchroom were paying and promoting Smith I meant. If Smith beats Beterbiev, then Smith Bivol is easy to make on DAZN as both are promoted by Matchroom. I think he'll retire if he loses.

    Headlining on Saturday. A shame that Heffron Chelli got pulled, but Chelli is still on the card against unbeaten 15-0 Mark Jeffers. Natasha Jonas is aiming to become a 2-weight world champion. Callum Simpson is in a good fight against Boris Crighton. Ben Whittaker is also on the card.
