    So just announced on Frank Warren's twitter they have moved this fight to November 11th, it makes sense as they would get murdered in views and tickets by the AJ fight, but feel bad for people that had already booked train tickets and hotels etc.
    Thoughts?

    Smart decision as it deserves the spotlight. But just another reason why I do not attend boxing events. Especially outside my city. Just far too unreliable, feel sorry for the fans but it makes sense from the fighters' perspective.

    I think it's a disgrace. Both Liam's are not from the area and will be bringing big supports who as a poster said will have booked hotels and travel and have been screwed.

    yeah its bad from Warren, too scared to head to head with hearn as his event would have no one there, they must have known AJ might fight around this time, they should have waited for aj to announce his fight before announcing theirs.

    Exactly, Hearn has said for weeks properly be on 28th in Cardiff. Wonder how many Welsh boxing fans will go and see AJ now instead of going all the way to Newcastle to see Williams. If Hearn had done what Warren's just done twitter would be on meltdown.

    These cants don't care about fans at all and they can stick their tickets and PPVs right up their brown rings.

    Boxing nowadays is 95% shyte fights, far too many postponed fights and FAR TOO MANY AVERAGE fights now PPV.

    GGG v Canelo and BJ v Clit I can understand - BJ v Pudding Pulev and Tug Fury v Parker or Bellew v Haye I simply cannot.

    Jurgen do you have a strong hatred against PPV shows or something? Why you never mention this before?....

    Smiths fans aren't the most respectful either...

    War Williams, he was mullering Smith last time, shame how it ended, this time he'll get his hand raised

    The first fight in Manchester didn't exactly have massive support from the Scousers and Welsh fans so I doubt they've been causing a meltdown on ticket master for a fight in Newcastle which is still about 6 weeks away.

    This is a very wise decision to move otherwise a very good fight/card would be swamped by AJ
