    Fantastic fight but unlikely. If it does Chisora's swan song?

    Yep but too good to be true maybe?

    The 154 Charlo is moving up to fight Canelo. Never saw that coming. Everyone presumed it would be the 160 Charlo.

    I think he’ll have to vacate the WBO and Kelly is #2 with the WBO.

    No one is interested in the Jermell Charlo fight to be honest. Ryder would beat him easily at 168. I don’t even think a UK broadcaster will pick up the fight.

    Kelly would lose to Tszyu but I guess can’t say no to the fight if it’s ordered.

    Hang on you think John Ryder would easily beat Charlo, even at 168lbs?

    I think that’s enough internet for you today.

    Yes, Charlo is a career 154 fighter. Ryder would beat a lot of the big names at 168. Very underrated fighter.

    Not really. Ryder went from (possibly) underrated to now overrated in a very short span of time.

    Yes I know in which division Charlo boxes at pure maths. Even coming up 2 weights I would still fancy him to outbox Ryder easily enough. Be far too quick for him.

    Decent card on Friday for Wasserman. Not sure why Harlem Eubank is facing such poor opposition still though.

    They also have a show in Bolton on Friday September 1 headlined by Lyndon Arthur challenging for the vacant IBO World Title and a British Title clash between Samuel Antwi and Mason Cartwright. Arthur's opponent only has 1 defeat and 17 KOs in his 18 wins. Very good card.

    Any idea how many will be on Dazn? Or is it a case of C5 get first refusal?

    Wasserman's deal in 2023 was to show at least 6 shows on Channel 5 I believe. They would have done 4 up to the September show so I presume they'll have 2 more at the back end of the year. They recently won the purse bids for Chloe Watson's European Title shot which will be on one of those cards. I can also see a step-up for Harlem Eubank.

    Wasserman can stage the rest of their shows on any other platform as long as they meet the minimum requirement for Channel 5. I don't think they'll do anymore on DAZN this year unless Josh Kelly fights again in 2023 which I think is unlikely.

    Best fight for Ryder is a rematch with Callum Smith after he loses to Beterbiev. Good UK grudge rematch that should make them both a few quid. Ryder would be giving up a bit of weight but should back himself anyway.

    Lyndon is not defending the IBO title. He's not the champion and has never fought for it. It is a vacant title.

    Another day, another previously banned poster reviving themselves as a sad alt shouting before being banned
