    Is he ever going to get a bit of exposure? British, Commonwealth and IBF European champion, 18-0 with some decent wins on his record. I know he's not a knockout machine but still, at 33 years old and almost 6 years as an undefeated pro you'd like to think that he'll get a payday before it's too late.

    Well he is in the right division. I remember there was some talk about him and Benn last year. Think he was on BT Sports this year too on a card I watched.

    Hopefully he gets a bit more exposure, record is padded but there are a couple of decent wins on there

    Ekow was chief support on Fury- Whyte and one of the main fights on Joyce -Parker…exposure isn’t the problem.

    Queensbury do need to create a payday/big fight for him soon though as he is getting on.

    Perhaps, they could try to build on the recent good relations with Eddie and see if he would be interested in booking him for Benn’s comeback opponent.

    That would be great fight for DAZN and seems to make sense all around.

    You should bare in mind that Warren had to pull that fight with Tetley forward at the last minute onto the Fury card. Both probably had to crash the weight abit/change preparation so it’s understandable why that wasn’t the best fight.

    Ekow’s fights with Peynaud, Jenkins and Ball were not boring. Antwi was also a decent scrap, despite Samuel being on the run abit.

    Benn v Essuman pls

    You ask and you shall get. He's been added too the Eubank v Smith ppv card. He takes on Chris Kongo, not a bad fight I think.

    It's a great 50/50 fight but I think it'll be a borefest. which is why Parker Massey will probably be chief support. I think Essuman will beat Kongo who struggled against Formella.
    Exactly. I think Wasserman will be doing the same this year again because Brad Pauls Tyler Denny will be on a Boxxer show. I'd like to see Essuman step up now though rather than fight these domestic contenders. Hopefully Warren can get him a big fight if he beats Kongo.

    Essuman has had a lot of British Title fights. I hope he wins but I don't give him a chance.

    What happened to that planned Queensberry card in Derby? It was supposed to be headlined by Zach Parker vs Leronne Richards, with Essuman on the undercard.

    Essuman can beat Crowley. Either way they need to get a move on as he is getting up there in age. I hope QP can engineer him a payday.

    I haven’t really asked anybody, but I believe they will be announcing a card shortly. I would guess they are going back to Telford with something like;

    Liam Davies v TBA
    Essuman V Scarff
    Nathan Heaney
    Eithan James

    I presume Essuman vs Scarff will not happen right? Good to see Liam Davies back out again. Hopefully they get a proper opponent for him. James got a good win over Moorcroft last time out, so hopefully another domestic opponent.

    Have you heard anything about Wardley vs Adeleye? Seems like things have gone quiet on that front.

    I like Davies v TJ Doheny or Paul Butler.
    I think Essuman - Scarff is still on, but I don’t know for sure. It’s been a while since the purse bid, so I’m surprised Scarff hasn’t kicked off yet about the delay.

    Somebody mentioned Wardley - Adeleye was looking like it’s on for BT around November, but that was about 2 or 3 weeks
