Why, has Bellew mentioned that or something...?!

Haven't heard anything... just assumed

I think U/B moving up to heavyweight would be interesting. I always hoped Haye would be the light/small HW who really made things difficult for the big guys but it just didn't happen.

I sometimes wonder why not, when he had the skill. Can't help but think he's been injured worse/ more often than any of us knew and he didn't want to lose his pay day each time. His body just doesn't seem to like being as big as it is. Or he doesn't listen to it when it's creaking.

Still... not long until Groves Vs. Jnr as well! Should be a cracker!

Busy weekend ladies....

Looking forward to Okolie vs Chamberlain. Love a good grudge match

[tuscaneer]

Nice article this week about Chamberlain out sparring usyk again and putting some of usyk' s stuff into his game....i think he will win

[Yiliterate]

There’s also WSB boxing on tv tonight too British lion hearts v France on BoxNation about 7 I think.

And as for Price v Povetkin you have to fear for Price in this fight.

Very sad news!

On a lighter note, there is the youtuber fight today ksi vs joe weller, it will be a farce but im gonna watch as it will be free and have a mild interest.

[pincher]

Please tell me all those people at the Copper Box aren’t just there to see a couple of YouTube numpties have a scrap?

Edit - did I just see Derek Chisora?

Watching this now. There's nearly 850k live viewers watching this toffee! Broadcasters need to take notice of this sort of thing. If this was scheduled at the same time as Okolie v Chamberlain, Sky would get slaughtered! Sure this is a bum fight but the casual appeal is massive.

[RumbleOfThunder]

Oh and if there's 8k there that'll be a bigger gate than Okolie v Chamberlain at the O2. These nerds are generating some serious income tonight. Has Frank ever actually sold out the CB??

[pincher]

Can’t believe I’m actually watching it

I’m blaming my son

[RumbleOfThunder]

Both looked as bad as expected but it was quite fun . 1.5m viewers between both channels. Bonkers.

[Mojooo]

Those Youtubers did a football match and sold out something like 20,000 tickets so there is certainly a big following.

[RumbleOfThunder]

I think Jones will turn Cheeseman over. He's one rugged double hard bd and always underrated. He deffo beat Margarito too.

[RumbleOfThunder]

fking scrap! Cheeseman letting Jones make it his type of fight.

[RumbleOfThunder]

Impressive by Cheeseman. That's some engine he's got.

[FredClogs]

Buatsi looking good, great shot selection. No matter the level of opponent you can see he has a great boxing brain.

[RumbleOfThunder]

Gassiev v Dorticos shaping up nicely into the 3rd. Nightmare scheduling.
