    Won the commonwealth title in April, very entertaining fight. Good style to watch but could well get beat when he steps up. Seems very fit though. Any news on him ? Who trains him? Nothing scheduled on boxrec

    I'm sure something will be announced soon. The Hatton's think very highly of him, and like you say his last fight was very entertaining. I'm guessing he is having quite a long rest after that fight! :yep

    They have a decent mix of fighters. Don't they only put on 8 shows a year (for Sky) as well?

    I don't think it's too bad and It's coming along nicely. Martin Murray, Craig Watson, Matthew Hatton, Scott Quigg, Stephen Foster Jr, Anthony Crolla, Richard Towers, Rhys Roberts, Mark Thompson, Denton Vassell, Matty Askin, Joe Murray (what's happened to him?), Ryan Rhodes?

    I would say that is pretty decent. Better then Mick and I would say not far behind FTM, but I personally find Hatton shows more entertaining.
     
  10. Hopefully Denton should be featuring on the Main Event radio show soon, so he can fill in the gaps for you! I'll keep you posted.

    The Main Event every Monday 12-1pm on 96.9fM in Manchester or listen online www.allfm.org

    I think his next opponent could be this dude, Phillip Kotey.

    WW from Ghana, and is fighting in the UK for the first time in early september for some international masters title, set to be broadcast on Hattons website. I like Vassell alot, entertaining little fighter although I reckon domestic honours could be his limit. But hes still young, I'm looking forward to seeing him progress.

    Could be the plan. Although that Bogere could throw a spanner in the works. Apparently he was unfortunate not to get the decision against Mutley last time out (admittedly a shopworn Mutley).

    Domestic level apart from Rhodes who only has a couple of years left.
