When will Cleverly, Mitchell, DeGale, Gavin and Saunders return?

No free Sky date until November 12th unless Fwank puts them on a Friday night which I cannot see.

Not ideal.

 

Boxnation? (Far fetched?)

 

Very.

Pretty sure Sky's deal will be an exclusive to.

 

is september 17th with degale deffo off then. :huh

 

Not soon enough, as always.

 

Could go 29th of October, or add one of them to the Bellew date. I can see one or two going to boxnation

 

17th is Bellew/David, im guessing Fwank wanted to change the original bill after he heard Channel 5 were showing a fight the same night, wudnt look good if Channel 5 got some more bumper figures the same night as some of his bigger named fighters were fighting.

 

29th is Groves return. probably Anderson.

 

Never at this bloody rate

Last time I spoke with Arnie on Twitter his lads were supposed to be back out again in September. That's seemingly out of the window, DeGale should have fought again already and Cleverly should at least have something concrete in place for the Autumn.

Allegedly has lost it - he either needs to get these lads fighting more often, if need be on other promoters shows, release some of them or cash a few in.

Look at Brook, from fighting bums on the early shift to an excellent win over Ndou (albeit an old man) and a fight lined up already before Christmas against a good opponent.

If TV is such a problem why not stage some small hall shows with a main event over ten rounds and a few undercard fights..... I'm sure most of the lads would rather fight than just be on the shelf waiting.

 

to be fair he is planning this. but with Cleverly, Mitchell and DeGale he cannot do the same.

Also if Burns doesn't go to US next he will need a date.

 

Allowing his men to fight abroad would help him somewhat, but he's not got particularly good relationships with anybody, other than Arum..... who's got fighters and opponents coming out of his ears.

Even though I'm not a Hayemaker fan (or GBP for that matter) whenever Groves has needed a stay busy he's just been sent on a plane for an 8 rounder.

I'm sure DeGale, Gavin and Saunders would have welcomed the chance to showcase their skills against some tough American circuit fighters, whilst they aren't up to much technically they're generally hard *******s who won't just fall over..... in between their domestic outings of course.

Arnie admitted that it's a frustrating position for them not being out so much, all this ''Gavin saved the York Hall show'' stuff is bollocks.... Frankie was begging for the chance to get on the bill against anyone with a pulse regardless of who else was going to be there!

I think Burns will go to America, there'll be decent money on offer. The chance to get on HBO should be too good to turn down. To raise his profile he needs a marquee victory, even if the opponent isn't marquee. Turning over an unbeaten American with a high KO % on HBO is just that. If he loses, get back on the horse and try again at 135.

 

Just like Rob said before, even if he loses a good fight with Mitchell is still there... which I'm sure the WBO would like.

 

It's certainly a problem. Is the Degale fight off then? He needs something more than the rest IMO. Who knows how much the groves fight has effected him mentally, and all he has done over the last 3 months is stu about it.

Clevery also needs a test soon, his last two have been disappointing, both performance wise and opponent wise.

Mitchell is still on cloud 9 I assume, so he isn't much of a big deal yet, even tho id like to see him out soon.

With no TV dates set tho, we are left to wonder. I wouldn't be overly surprised if a few jumped ship to Matchroom if Frank isn't delivering.

 

How about if Burns vs Broner gets on HBO Fwank trys to do a deal to get Cleverly or Mitchell on the card.

They may be unknown but they are quality to watch.

 

degale should get on the barker - martinez undercard. boardwalk hall or the mtegwa card no?
