    has McGee said why he (or his team) decided not to fight Smith yet?

    Realistically, a 8-4 fighter could be fighting for the Euro title.

    I hate it when the winner gets these types of opportunities, it should be a boost of popularity for them meaning they can get more fights in the future and a nice pay check at the end of the day (Martin Murray), not a British/Euro title shot they don't deserve (Audley).

    The EBU will have to approve the opponent first.

    acceptable opponents for Magee would be;

    Paul Smith (WBO.6, WBC.13)
    Stjepan Bozic (WBA No.7)
    Eduard Gutknecht (WBO No.8.)
    Piotr Wilczewski (WBA No.13)
    Nikola Sjekloca (WBC No.15)

    Didn't wanna sign up with Warren. Fair enough but who is going to be better for his career. If he wins Warren would get him a title fight.

    Drops a Smith fight for the winner of Prizefighter. What a ****ing joke. How does that warrant a shot at a European title?

    If the comeptitors in the prizefighter are good enoughyou can understand it but not with this lineup. It's average at best. For example Rees, when he won the light welter 1 could have had a shot at mccloskey on the back of it but at supermiddle none of these would come close to smith so its outrageous

    agreed. I wonder why Rees has not been given a title shot.

    If Prizefighter winners are going to get title shots then we really need to raise the level of talent that competes in it!

    Magee is and always has been a joke.
