Sam Eggington-Mohamed Mimoune (he holds the EBU-EU belt, for what that's worth) And Robbie Barrett defends his British title against Lewis Ritson Eggington tends to be in entertaining fights, which is something
Not the most exciting bill - Burns v Crolla is a good match but doesn't mean much other than the end for the loser.
Ritson has platform to shine at last expect him to win and win in style. Can't understand with Matchroom stable being far stronger than Queensberrys they don't sign people like Galahad Ritson Brophy and many more British or better level fighters
Eddie came out a few months ago after dropping a couple of fighters and said that he was now only interested in boxers that he could see becoming world champions. Completely arrogant and not in the fans best interests but there you go...
I know he did think it was bravado to give a few a kick up the arse. You can't just have world champs not viable financially as they all want big money and can't all be top of hill. To bleed top prospects you need great British/Euro level scraps to make bills quality. Most of the best fights I see are ones for British titles, not technically the best but action wise, heart determination pride etc the best.
how is it arrogant? why sign fighters that have no potential and eddie has loads of non world title fighters and signs a lot as well. The only fighter he has dropped is warington as he didn't want to fight Selby.
I thought Burns was being lined up for a Josh Taylor fight, what happens to that idea? To be fair, If I was Burns I wouldn't fancy any of that either.
Cross promotion is the taylor fight. This fight in house for matchroom winner will possibly get one last world title fighter. £££££.
Take what Billy says with a huge dose of salt. He is notorious for overestimating his (ex)fighters capabilities. They are undefeated in fantasy match-ups, after all.
