    Fair do's, answer in short. NO. Haye vs Ruiz is on the same night i believe, I was hoping they would add B-hop vs RJJ as they both are connected to GoldenBoy. However so far no british tv companies have either sealed a deal to show fight or publicised a show.

    Yeah, to be fair this one hasn't been covered to death so you can be let off without the silly answers:good

    BrummyLad covers it pretty much spot on.

    In truth it's a rubbish fight, that boxing doesn't need and doesn't deserve an ounce of attention.

    I'll probably end up taking a look though, sadly.

    I remember seeing an interview where Dave H says this would be part of his PPV.

    Well neither are hardly mouthwatering.

    I'm patriotic, but there has been far too much leeway given to Haye on here of late.

    I mean, Ruiz, that's just taking the micky.

    Still, don't mean to be too harsh, we'll see where he goes from there.

    But if you talk the talk....

    Mandatory!? = excuse nowadays - ABCD World Champion.

    I guess with the politics of today, it would be near impossible to unify all the HW belts and/or hold onto them for any lengh of time.

    Boxers give up belts ALL the time, to fight someone else, in fact most the time they have to by default - it happens constantly and the greatest of boxers today, at times, don't even fight for belts.

    And before anyone has a go at me, Haye was the man barking on about fighting the Klits years ago now, it's not me asking him to do so.
