Joshua Buatsi vs Paweł Stępień, Tyler Denny vs Macaulay McGowan & Sean McComb vs Kaisee Benjamin RBR

It's a travesty.

 

Ben Whittaker. He really is marmite.

 

Apparantly he loves a holiday according to Eggie Hearn. It makes sense. He's there boxing to fund his travelling free spirit bollox lifestyle not because he's desperate to go and achieve something. Such a dull dull person in and out of the ring

 

I think there's a common theme with men's and women's boxing.

Amateurs with high pedigree, who have come through pseudo-professional systems designed to win medals, are getting a big promotional push while their names are in still in memory. Both male and female.

Except those medal factories are producing mostly boring fighters. The guy Matchroom signed might be different, but they're the exception. It's far more pronounced in the female ranks as they make up most of the 'attractions' at the moment where the men's game still has amateur rejects, people coming up through the gyms, etc - but the likes of Buatsi and Okolie stand out as good examples nonetheless.

 

If only he was in a jar....
