    He's only had 13 fights. It's hardly a disaster.

    no its not a disaster,but for a title defence you should have them in place at least a week and half before it is due to go ahead.at this rate your going to get below par opponent

    They should be in place six weeks prior to the fight.

    Warren would want to sell more tickets, surely?

    Does Warren actually give the fighters the notice (and tell them to keep quiet) - because they ought to have sufficient time to prepare.......

    I expect him to face a couple of Africans in his next coupla fights anyway. He's in no rush.

    I was under the impression that Commonwealth title fights were subject to purse bids and as such opponents would be matched months in advance

    No doubt they will find someone from Buckham in Accra, Ghana.

    One day I'm going to go over there to find out if the place exists as my suspicion is that when someone comes to the ring billed as being from there it is simply to enable the commentators to have something to say about an opponent that no-one has ever heard of when they are actually from Stoke Newington
