    It is completely hopeless.

    What will be next ? Disabled people sitting in wheelchairs hitting each other ?

    Strong rumours that Rio Heavyweight Olympic silver medalist Justis Huni will be signing to Matchroom. That would be a big coup. He is only 23 and strengthens Matchroom's Australian stable.

    Justis Huni did not win an Olympic medal ever.

    Sorry, he was injured for the Olympics. He did win Silver at the qualifying event and won bronze at the World Championships. He has moved pretty quickly as a professional so far. Excited to see him progress.

    Yeah he's a decentish prospect. He gives me Joseph Parker vibes with where I see his career going.

    Apparently he has a glass chin and was knocked out in sparring by a cruiserweight. He has moved pretty quickly so far but I think they'll protect him from any big punchers.

    I suspect the tag team boxing idea will be one on one with short rounds and limited tag outs.

    No way the board sanctions four men in the ring at once with one referee.

    Matchroom now lose a purse bid to some small time Polish promotional company.

    So Babic has to go to Poland, will probably get beat and another Matchroom hype job/novelty act is derailed without Hearn even being able to cash out in the process.

    I can honestly see DAZN cutting ties with Hearn and just using the UK platform for these youtuber boxing events.

    VIA Play have the Nascar rights for 2023, they stepped up their coverage from Premier meaning every single race is being shown from all three divisions.

    So for £12 a month you'll get over 100 races. Still a much better sub than DAZN

    I wouldn't say a $425,000 purse bid is just some small bid. although babic is fun to watch i doubt he brings in the kind of numbers to warrant even that kind of money top a card in the uk

    Yes he did (Ricky Esilva was the man). Would still like to see him fast tracked though as I don't think he needs to be bought along too slowly like McKean has.
