Apparently he has a hand injury and Cleverly will now headline the card. Opponent hasn't been named but I assume it will be an Afrobum. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/8027479.stm
Yep. Cleverly will fight an afrobum. The guy must be the worst title holder in British history opponent wise...although Broadhurst would run him close.
Shame really was looking forward to this fight a lot. Now they've both pulled out. I suspect that if Mutley hadn't have pulled out then neither would Brook have. Crolla's gonna win though saw him last week schooling Glen McCrory's Cuban hope. Looks superb
Ha Ha was hoping so, was thinking then '**** whats ishy on about, does he know something we dont'. I genuinely feel if he fights like he can do and doesn't get nervous then he'll win comfortably. Are you going ?
Icemax - Just noticed your from Yorkshire are you having this too due to that fact or do you genuinely rate sykes. I really rate Crolla. Agreed though but you cant ask for more than this, whoever wins is next in line for a lonsdale so at least they are stepping upto the plate
I can't really comment on Crolla, but I do like the look of Sykes. I've seen him twice at Barnsley and once at Donny on the Gomez - Johanneson card and think that he's a tidy little fighter...lacks a bit of power but is quite assured. The real measure of course is when he fights someone with a winning record, i.e. Crolla (that goes for Crolla as well).
