    ‘This is the last time I’ll ever post on the British forum!’ :lol: :lol: :lol:

    On a serious note I can’t recall you ranting when Bosh Fisher was chief support on a Matchroom show last month?

    I don't post here much now apart from the odd post. It isn't for you to tell me when I can and can't post.

    Well you are banned now, but Yarde is 32 and a 2 time world title challenger, and still fighting terrible opposition. Ricky Summers is shot to pieces and not even British level right now. I can't remember which show Fisher was co-main event to but I did criticise that decision. Likewise with Moses Itauma being co-main for Joyce Zhang I.

    "It isn't for you to tell me when I can and can't post" . He didn't need to - you told us that with your own words. Something else that has turned out to be incorrect

    I know this isn't really the thing to say but in every single picture I've ever seen of Ricky Summers he looks like he's mentally handicapped, the expression on his face, he looks challenged at all times in whatever he's doing.

    Massive chance and probable payday for Ricky but once again, Frank doing his fighters no favours.

    It's akin to North End having a warm up v Skem United a week before Man City away.

    Edit - To clarify, by chance, he has practically no chance but he does have the chance of national primetime TV exposure that he wouldn't have been expecting.

    Mikaeka Meyer was chief support, not Moses Itauma.

    If he is fighting Summers, he really needs to be back out again in December against better opposition

    It’s been confirmed. It’s the co-main event. And I doubt he fights again this year. He should be targeting the winner of Buatsi Azeez, but I doubt Warren and Shalom will make the fight.
    Okay I got confused between Joyce Zhang I and Beterbiev Yarde.

    Beterbiev - Yarde also had Dalakihan defending his IBF world title on that card. Anyway, no reasonable person would have an issue with that undercard after QP brought over an elite, world champion in a great action fight on standard BT

    I wasn’t talking about the entire undercard though. From memory, the two fights before the main event were Moses Itauma and Tommy Fletcher in 4 and 6 rounders. The World Title fight was on at 8pm for some reason.

    So what exactly is your point? I think before the main event they had the Jack Paul - Tommy in ring announcement, so they obviously structured the card/show to cater for that also

    Joe Smith Jr is apparently fighting Gilberto Ramirez on DAZN on October 7 next. This clearly proves Frank Warren was lying. October looks like a great month from what I have heard.

    I agree, but it shows the agenda of the British Forum. If Hearn did this, we wouldn't hear the end of it. How can you go from Joe Smith Jr to Ricky Summers who isn't even British level.
