Supposed to be coming together with some sort of promotional deal/partnership. Good news for Saunders hopefully.
That would be decent. I always felt that Golovkin should have tried to link up with Matchroom after the Brook fight and actively fight out of the UK because our fans would 100% have adopted him as one of our own. He could have been huge here because of his style and personality. Usyk is another one who I think is tailor made to fight out of the UK.
I went to Usyk v Bellew and was supporting Usyk as were plenty other English fans, barring Evertonians of course.
Not sure what Hearn is doing with Smith tbh, are they waiting for Canelo or something? All that momentum from the Super 6 and now nothing
I heard Smith can only make weight once or twice a year ...He needs to move up and test himself with men his own size imo
He had a kid and took time out. Apparently they will fight Ryder in September and then a tick over before trying to to unify early next year.
I don’t get this, there is no the point in fighting Ryder- nobody wants to see it. I don’t give a monkeys about any mandatory nonsense. It’s the WBA, they won’t push anything. Meanwhile, Eddie will probably have Saunders propping up a DAZN card against a recycled, mediocre fighter like Rosado or Sulecki & more than likely stinking the place out. Hearn should have pulled the trigger on Smith V Saunders straight away- British fans would support the fight as a PPV.
I've noticed that when a fighter switches promotions, their first fight is almost always against an absolute can. I fully expect the same here for Saunders. They probably need someone they can pay peanuts to make up for the rest of the contract.
They'll support the fight as a PPV anyway. No reason for doing the fight straight away whatsoever. Neither Joe G nor MTK would want it now either, not really Eddie's decision.
i was also there and no way were there plenty of english supporting usyk. there were a couple of ukranian flags and that was it
