    Press release this morning according to Eddie Hearn on yesterday's ifilm interview. It's presumably about the new upcoming season and about the FOUR International fights they have bought the rights to.

    I'm guessing:

    Stevenson v Cloud
    Wlad v Povetkin
    Bradley v JMM
    and one other

    JMM vs Marquez is the fight of the year imo

    It will be a close one. They are both evenly matched in every department. 50/50 IMO. I would have to go with JMM to beat Marquez by SD

    No Goldenboy in there... looks like Boxnation's deal with them is ok after all.

    Wlad/Povetkin wouldn't surprise me as the winner of that would likely fight the winner of Haye/Fury after Pulev. Especially if Fury or Povetkin pulled out the upset.

    The Boxnation Goldenboy deal is in jeopardy at least gives us a rest from the BT Sport will buy Boxnation story.

    Both of which seem to be internet rumour with no substance.

    I've tweeted Hearn. But he didn't reply. They need to get Manny's next fight on the 23rd after the Froch v Groves fight that's on the 23rd of November.

    Hearn effectively confirmed those will be on Sky in his latest iFilm interview.

    He also stated that Boxnation had been picking up overseas cards "on the cheap".

    Cant see Hearn being interested in either Marquez or Bradley as an opponent for Kell.Theyre both far and away above the level of opposition he's been tackling.I think he's hoping this mooted match with Khan and Alexander comes off,Amir wins and then he can make an all Brit fight.

    Vlad mentioned fighting Wilder, I guess after he beats Povetkin. After Vitali knocks Stiverne out, I would hope he goes ahead and knocks Wilder out before he retires. Vitali will most likely retire in late 2014 or early 2015, this will make the Klitschko haters so happy. However, why is it they do not want Hopkins to retire? He is almost 50!
