UK boxing news round up.

Never watched Camkiran tbh man. Any good? Or another Erkan Teper?

Worse than Teper, Gjergjaj gave him all he could handle. Kosso takes him out with ease

I think he’s going to Boxxer. I think a lot of Matchroom fighters will follow suit in the near future. Hearn is in the same tough spot Warren was in back in 2011. Superior roster but inferior platform. Warren infamously had DeGale, Groves, Chisora, Cleverly, Bellew, Brook, Gavin, Saunders, Burns, Crolla, Saunders etc when he jumped from Sky to Boxnation, every single one of those guys jumped back to Sky in the next few years.

I’m fully with you on Ryder vs Richards. It’s the obvious fight to make. Surprised Matchroom never pursued it.

Who would Boxxer likely put him in with next? For such a good fighter, his standing with the governing bodies is pretty abject; he's higher ranked with the Ring than he is on any governing body. Doesn't seem an awful lot of obvious fights out there for him. Ryder, as you say, appeared a good fight

They’d have to bring in somebody from abroad. Matchroom have the better options for him tbh. Boxxer don’t have all that many options at 168, I think he just wants to be active and that’s why he’s changing promoters.

Would Eubank Jr jump up to 168 to become a 3x IBO champ? That’s the only big name Boxxer have around his weight class tbh.

Eubank is frustrating. He's fought at 168 before, and he's been calling out Brook, Benn, and Liam Smith? I don't particularly mind the Liam Smith fight, but it's a bit embarrassing calling out career welterweights if you fight at middle. Despite not being massively talented, he's a big name, so I wonder why he can't get a name (Andrade, Lara etc) over to fight him? Zhanibek may be an option but I doubt Eubank takes that fight, even though it's for a legit world title now Andrade's gone/going up.

Richards does need activity. Looking at the super middles, maybe Zak Chelli but I don't know if Boxxer will have other routes for him (probably). He had a split decision with Lennox Clarke - maybe that fight again or if Heffron wins in their British title fight they may look at him? I have no idea to be honest. 168 seems a bit desolate.

I think Liam’s waiting to see what happens with the WBO title at 154. If Charlo’s forced to fight his IBF mando he might vacate which gives Smith a shot at the vacant title vs Tszyu. If Charlo-Tszyu goes ahead I reckon we’ll get Eubank vs Smith later this year.

Fair play. I guess we wait and see then. Don't mind Eubank-Smith as long as it's not PPV (doubt it would be if Sky are doing that Marshall-Shields/Fury-Hunter PPV in September?).

Yeah I don’t think it would be PPV. Sky should hold off on PPV’s IMO. I don’t think they have the roster yet. I really hope they decide to put the September 10th card on Non-PPV but it wouldn’t surprise me if it gets slung behind a pay wall.

Whyte-Parker 2 is another possible PPV for later in the year. Whyte has also been offered the Joyce fight on BT per reports and I’m sure DAZN will offer him something too. He’ll probably just go to the highest bidder.

Wasserman’s July 30th card update:

Josh Kelly vs Lucas Bastida
Harlem Eubank vs Tom Farrell

If Chisora wins against Pulev I can see DAZN offering Whyte the trilogy fight. Hope not. I'm currently in the would pay for Parker-Joyce but won't pay for Parker-Whyte II or Whyte-Joyce camp.

Think there's a heavyweight fight on there between Hosea Stewart and someone else who's 3-0. Something Franklin I think? Seems a reasonable card. I don't know much about Bastida but he's top 50 on Boxrec. The Harlem Eubank fight is alright as well.
