Has everyone caught their breath again after the weekend of channel hopping! After a nice little busy period , the upcoming UK schedule looking a little thin, any upcoming shows likely to be announced soon?
A few Brits on their travels in the next few months. Josh Taylor to America (v Lopez) Callum Smith to Canada (v Beterbiev) Maxi Hughes to America (v Kambosos) Daniel Dubois to Poland (v Usyk)* *still a bit sceptical over that one.
Queensberry have a show on June 6 at York Hall. For Queensberry they have one show headlined by Yarde, one in Derby with Parker Richards and Essuman Scarff, and another potentially featuring Sheeraz and Bentley. Matchroom have a show on June 10 at the O2. I know Matchroom have a show on July 29 in London which Wardley will headline against Dave Allen or Solomon Dacres. Conway Udofia will be on the undercard and maybe Cash Williams too. This clashes with Warren’s show in Telford. Matchroom are also planning on Joshua Whyte on August 12 but I am unsure on that. Joshua is in camp now. Cordina Barrett should get made for October I would presume, Wood Warrington / Kholmatov could be at the City Ground at the end of August / September. They also want to make Catterall Prograis in Manchester in the Autumn. Cameron Taylor II in Ireland could also happen in September. Wasserman have a show on June 24 in Newcastle. Boxxer want to reschedule Smith Eubank II. They have Clarke Wach and Adam Azim at York Hall on June 16. Riakporhe against the French Cruiserweight Champion in France is what Ben Shalom wants to make.
New Boxxer show on August 5 in London apparently featuring Florian Marku and Lawal Chamberlain which has been rescheduled. This content is protected This content is protected
Moran has an 18 and 1 record but only fought 3 with winning records. And got stopped by someone with a losing record. They're definitely not rushing Marku. Marku is another gimmick who is popular with Albanians in the UK. He'll need handling well as he's not very good. A bit Allen Babic with less power.
I like the Chamberlain fight though. I think Chamberlain could have achieved a lot if he'd have fought regular. Let's hope he does from now on
I remember Sky were trying to hype up Kongo Marku before. Apparently on this card there will be a different headline to those two bouts. I think Lawal Chamberlain is a decent headline to be honest but not complaining if someone else is headlining instead.
Terrible fight for Jack Catterall, he has little chance in that one. If Wardley boxes Dave Allen that will be a very underwhelming first defence, he deserves better than that.
