    according to Frank in this interview. Hearn has also said it before I believe.

    Sad to hear but these promoters need to deliver. Fury and DeGale were taking steps backwards.

    In between Chisora and Johnson his opponents got progressively worse each fight.

    Johnson to Cunnigham isn't a step down imo. its a good fight for Fury especially for his US debut.

    **** news if it's true.. I don't think Hennessey would be able to go elsewhere for TV either with BoxNation not having other British promoters on

    If it is true it's awful. I don't know why itv don't air boxing, it always got good ratings when Khan and Calzaghe were on there.

    Even Froch and the repeat of the Taylor fight got good ratings as far as I can remember.


    Why did they pull out?

    cant see why boxnation would not pick up Fury he seems to have a decent following and is getting close to a title shot if offered would be quite funny for Degale though left FW but has to fight on his channel

    What? Chisora was garbage when he fought him and clearly didn't bother his arse to train at all. Rogan proved to be a much tougher foe.
