Derry Mathews IBO World Title Fight!

:deal

But as long as the opponent is decent and they don't try to pass it off as a genuine world title fight I'm not fussed.

 

Oh dear.......

Maybe he could fight Lee McAlister in a mega world unification fight.

 

few people in here are fickle so what if its the ibo hes getting his career back on track best of luck to him i know hes gonna win on the 22nd jan

i know the oppoent by the way!

 

but they will.

 

You're a right bitter ******* at times!

 

when's your next fight Rob?

 

if he simply fights a credible opponent, comes in shape and comes to fight. that is more than enough.

 

If Derry can use this to get his career back on track and move him towards a Commonwealth or British title shot then fair play.

 

He doesn't need to be a fighter to have an opinion.

If this is true it is pathetic imo. Matthews got stopped by

in his last scheduled 12 rounder. Now, he's fighting for this 'world' title? I know it is not a proper world title but they will try and pass it off as one.

 

I'm up for fighting for one of the vacant WBF titles if anyone's interested? Imagine being able to say you hold the same belt as Evander Holyfield

 

Hopefully its a good opponent and a big fight for Derry, I don't really see a problem for him fighting for the IBO belt as its a great opportunity for him to get himself right in the mix again.

It should be Derry v Choi III for the belt, but I can handle Choi has a first defence for Derry as well. :yep

Best of luck to him.

 

since he fought lawton hes moved gyms learning new things and i reckon hes a better fighter for it and is looking very sharp that was then this is now im backing derry!!!

 

i got stopped by scott lawton cos my head wasnt right for that fight , am a diffrent figher now and will prove the dobters wrong

 

guys what ever use want to call the title am goin into this fight to rebuild my career , its a 12 round fight that i beleive i need to bring the best out of me , its about making my fans in liverpool happy and me not taking a title fight in liverpool on my own doorstep would be very stupid of me , maybe one day il get a shot a the british title cos its the belt i want the most

 

Good for you.

I get pissed off by the alphabets as much as the next man - especially the plethora that exist below even the big four. But I, as with most everyone else on here, amn't trying to make a living from prize fighting so should probably learn to a be a little more empathetic to those who are and yet aren't amongst the privileged few at the glitz and glamour end.

Good luck.
