I like this fight to be honest, Preston vs Blackpool, should make for a great atmosphere. Providing Fitzy wins looks like he will face Cheeseman in September.
Tough one. Probably Liam Smith, but a wildcard guess would be Maurice Hooker vs Jack Catterall. Maurice wanted a warm up then Catterall, but if Hearn has an eye on signing Jack he might pull this one out of the bag.
Hopefully Fitz takes it seriously. Rose has the ability to really upset the apple cart in probably his last fight. Especially the Preston vs Blackpool angle which will be used to sell tickets. Looking forward to Cheeseman Fitz, that’s in September according to Hearn. Hearn ruled out Quigg, and it’s a Saturday fight night. Maybe Brook, but doubt it. Won’t be Liam Smith as he’s headlining a Liverpool show in the summer.
Glad that Fitzgerald is fighting rose. A wildcard guess is Khan and brook fighting in separate fights building up for a ppv at the end of the year. Can't think of a sensible pick.

READ MORE: Brian Rose calls out Scott Fitzgerald once again after making successful return to the ring The Lancashire rivals have both been inundated with messages from boxing fans on social media telling them to get it on following Fitzgerald’s impressive win against Anthony Fowler in March. The 27-year-old upset the odds to inflict the first professional defeat of Fowler’s career in a thrilling bout in Liverpool, taking his record to 13 win from 13 fights. Rose, meanwhile, returned to action last month with a dominant points win against James Hagenimana having recorded a first-round knockdown. The 34-year-old, who is the far more experienced campaigner, has won 31 of his 37 fights to date and has previously challenged for a world title. Eddie Hearn, promoter of Matchroom Boxing, has told boxing YouTube channel IFL TV the fight will take place at Manchester Arena on July 6. Should Fitzgerald come through the fight, he will take on Ted Cheeseman in September for the British super-welterweight title.
Would have preferred Fitz straight in with Cheeseman but I suppose a local wear against a very seasoned Rose won’t do him any harm.
