    I think the loser should be interviewed first and let him go early.

    It's effectively a home-fight for Joshua (lives just outside London) and Matchroom and Sky want to build him into a superstar.

    Selby couldn't sell out a phone booth and being a Welshman you couldn't possibly make him the main event on a London card.

    Fair play to Boylan, he must be gutted but I like that when a fighter credits his opponent after a defeat and makes no excuses or starts claiming he was robbed.

    ...but, surely the 'stache alone gives him that elusive crossover superstar quality??

    ...and Selby's been over Stateside to spar @ Mayweather's club! (as he'll be first to let you know :yep)

    I could've sworn Lee had a wee bit of a fan base, maybe I was mistaken. :conf

    He did turn in a few stinker performances after his initial build of hype, so maybe he squandered his flash of popularity.

    I like Selby, but he has absolutely zero personality.

    The whole 'Welsh Mayweather' stick was embarrassing.

    Believe me, if Hearn could get Selby to sell-out venues in Wales he'd have him fighting there.

    In a lot of ways Hearn is hoping Selby beats Brunker and then Gradovich as he can create a huge fight in Leeds vs Warrington.

    Look at Selby putting his hands down in the promo like he thinks he's Prince Naseem Hamed.

    I do not know that much about Brunker if I'm honest, I'm sure I've seen him a couple of times before.

    Anybody know much about him? Is this going to be hard work for Selby?

    Not really true. Plenty of tickets available earlier this week.

    Part of the problem is that London really isn't a huge boxing city anymore. Granted they had the Wembley fight, but that was such a one-off.

    What was Boylan doing at times with some of that showboating, trainer should of slapped him at the end of the round, show boat when your winning and in control and concentrate on your boxing
