    More importantly what weight class would this fight take place ?? , I'm assuming Heffron can make 147

    when is this fight scheduled to take place then?

    IMO Heffron is a good prospect but needs to move camp to progress to a higher level.
    I actually think Bellew has shown real progress since he changed trainers - or rather starting showing skills that he had demonstrated earlier in his career.

    Also FWITW I cant imagine ****** suggesting this fight...what happened to Heffron v Smith...thought that was being rescheduled?

    Gavin should be aiming higher than this.

    I love it when the Liverpudlian comes out of you. Please ensure this happens in your next press conference. Very entertaining stuff.

    This is the truth of it. What possible good can come out of it. Imagine the harm that could be done. I hope this falls through

    For **** sake they are competing against each other in a sporting contest, not going to war with each other. What is the big deal? "My boxer Dad and Uncle fought ten years ago in a ring-OMG I'm traumatised..."

    They get paid (boxing is their job) and a chance to progress their career.

    You only answered what good can come out of it. Not the what harm can come out of it. We all know boxing is dangerous and accidents can happen. It's easy to say you won't apportion blame. It's all opinions, but with all the Welters in the world why fight an in law ? It's not as if it's for a world title and unavoidable .

    As an outsider looking in it's an interesting fight.

    Hell I know plenty of girls families and their exes having a ruck. I just hope the touch paper doesnt get lit at a press conference. I can just hear someone with a dig to spice up the fight & sell it.

    Ideally the fight happens & progresses both careers with no lingering feuds.

    Dangling wages in front of their noses to get them to agree to box on a bill they shouldn't box on.

    I agree with Bellew it is a pointless fight at this stage in careers.

    It will sell though...

    It's a good fight Frankie. I hope you and Farnell will still be friends afterwards. Business is business and all.
