It’s a great card with 4 domestic fights. I don’t think Adam Azim should be headlining, they should have went for the Cruiserweights instead.
That's an odd one. Richards vs Chelli. Richards left MR saying that the fight they were wanting him to take was a step down and now he's dropped the IBO belt and fighting Chelli who is English champ. I don't get it.
Was called in to a nothing fight as mando and had no promoter to put it on. the guy had the chance to fight on a Canelo card in vegas against a world ranked fighter and ended up top 5 with both WBA and IBF and has ended up in a British level fight third down on the bill for a 6-0 prospect. Whoever has advised him has had a stinker and I would not be happy at all if I was him
It's truly mind-boggling and afaik this is a 1 fight deal, which if the unthinkable was to happen and Chelli got the win he won't be getting an extension on his contract. Whilst we would all side with Richards here, chelli is defo a live dog. Chelli afaik still has the English to fall back on should it not go his way.
There are some pretty decent fights on this Boxxer/Sky Sports card but I would have preferred Sunday evening instead of Sunday lunchtime.
Yeah bizarre they are doing it in the afternoon. They have done boxing on Sunday evening though before (Buatsi Calic), and maybe they think with no Premier League games they’ll pull in more viewers doing it in the afternoon. I don’t think I’ll be able to watch it live but I’ll definitely catch up on it. 4 great domestic fights.
I love this fight think it could be a real classic. Chelli will make Richards fight at a quicker pace than normal. It's a good bill.
