Didn't Hearn admit to IFL that Warren offered the Buglioni vs Yarde fight and Hearn turned it down saying 6 figures wasn't enough for Buglioni (ha!). I agree that I want to see Yarde step it up now, but Sky and Matchroom making out as if Buatsi is some sort of beast who'll fight anyone is laughable - especially when he's signed to the same promotional team as Ball, Burton, Buglioni and Johnson yet he hasn't dared yet call out those names. Like I said on the Yarde thread, put your money where your mouth is Josh. And don't give me the "Buatsi is only into his 7th fight" line, he's vastly more experienced than Yarde when you take Buatsi's amateur background into account.
I knew this was one of those you're a casual if you rate a Matchroom fighter let's hate in Eddie Hearn kind of threads.
No Yarde turned down a final eliminator for the British title against Burton because he was levels above that level then chased a Hungarian cabbie round the ring in his very next fight
No he was absolutely correct, Hearn turned down a Warren offer for Yarde-Buglioni insisting that 100k wasn’t enough for Buglioni which is laughable. Don’t comment if you are not informed.
That was previously. Yes that was a duck from Warren and Yarde. More recently Warren offered Hearn £100k for Buglioni. Hearn is on IFL scoffing at this offer claiming Buglioni needs more money.
Sorry to hijack, but what’s going on with Burton? He’s fighting another journeyman tomorrow, taken about 3steps backwards since the Buglioni loss
