    I know there’s been some absolute shockers in the last year or two (from Hearn especially), but this has got to be up there in terms of worst British fight cards from a major promoter in recent memory.

    Maybe Shalom should have pulled the entire card like Warren the other week and left the whole undercard out of pocket.

    Oh don’t sleep on Francesca mate, she’s only going up against Teo vs Shakur and Josh Kelly on an Ethan Hunt type mission. Maybe Hennessy upstages the lot and restores a bit of family pride.

    Either way, Franny will probably pull the highest viewing figures – especially on the woke network, but then again with Shalom’s luck of late, who knows? No wonder Bosh Jnr is contemplating the TKV fight; it might just be in the stars. Sky’s the limit.

    About 10% of the 300 DAZN UK subscribers will be watching the US Card while Dancing Fran is watched by thousands.

    The boxing world has gone mad and the promoters don't care at all what the boxing fans think.

    Well, win or lose, Dancing Fran looks a cert for Strictly next season, not seen moves like that since Uzzy Ahmed. Hopefully she is making enough to cover this month's interest on the hock Mick got himself into trying to buy Hughie a title.

    And I think it’s just me and @Astro holding the fort as 2 of the 300 Spartan Ultimate subscribers, so I guess we should be grateful they didn’t make the Tom Little comeback one of the remaining 11 PPVs.

    Hopefully happy in retirement and healthier than his hero.

    YouTube did him dirty as well, overlaying the Edwards entrance with the Sexton knockout. He was actually a good little fighter when he wasn’t giving away a load of weight.

    I can see Fran being the first British women's boxer to cross over into the public eye. She's not the best but there's something about her that's going to appeal and we might not like it but boxing needs casual support.

    I can see it now mate, at home with the Hennessy’s… Mick would be reality TV gold.

    This Saturdays card being shown on DAZN. Didn't see that coming. Won't add much to the views but I guess it brings in more revenue for Boxxer & the fighters

    That’ll be his PPV distributor he was on about the other week then I bet. Adam Azim PPVs in your Ultimate sub coming soon!

    The funniest thing is hearing youtubers talk about how this was a lucky move for Ben Shalom and Boxxer since they only have a tv deal with the BBC for 4 events. WTF ? They don't know what they're talking about !

    Ben Shalom's decent Amateur Heavyweight signing, gets beaten on debut.
