    Manchester Arena on 22 December. Their heavyweight contest will feature on the undercard of Josh Warrington's IBF World Featherweight title defence against Carl Frampton.

    https://www.bbc.com/sport/boxing/46350374

    " The bout represents a step up in class for the Briton, who is the cousin of former world champion Tyson Fury.

    "Nathan is just a baby in the game," said Leapai, 39. "I'm coming to burst the bubble of the latest hype job.

    "A lot of these British heavyweights are overhyped without really beating anyone. He looks like a big hairy baby to be honest.

    "I'll be coming over to put this baby to sleep."

    Leapai shared the ring with former world champion Wladimir Klitschko in 2014 and holds a record of 32 wins, four draws and seven defeats.

    Gorman, who is trained by former two-weight world champion Ricky Hatton in Hyde, has 14 wins from 14 fights, 11 via knockout."

    Bit rich of Leapai to call anyone a “big baby” when he looks like a freshly hatched Rugrat himself. The big dosser. Stormin’ Gorman is going to light his ass up.

    Yes he will. Leapai was no more than domestic level in his prime and is well over the hill now. Gorman in 5.

    Gorman has fought 14 nobodies.

    Leapai has had 43 fights and fought 14 men who have fought for world titles.

    Gorman is in deep...

    I like your thinking. However, I don't think a lowly rated fighter like Gorman will propel Leapai into contention for a Wilder fight with AJ waiting in the wings. Gorman is no Boytsov #1 contender that Leapai beat to get a shot at Klit.

    But if anyone could pull that off it would be Leapais trainer/manager Noel Thornberry. History has shown he can get a dog a title fight, in a catfight competition...

    Leapai done, little to offer and will fold once the heat gets turned up. Rounds, name fighter, learning curve etc etc
    Hope to see Gorman get him outta there.

    Sure. Gorman looks to me to be a solid fighter with some drive. I'll happily concede that is utter pish if Leapai does anything other than absorb a methodical beating.
