UK boxing news round up.

Hope these Catterall-Linares rumours are bogus. Linares is f***ing washed.

Hearn keeps inserting him as a potential opponent for his fighters though, does he owe him a fight or something?

I know what you mean - Maxi, Cully ... I'd have preferred either of those fights than Catterall though.

It must be a combination of (a) the Crolla and Mitchell fights, particularly the two Crolla in Manchester and (b) him badly wobbling Haney. Casuals will not care that he's not won since.

Weird one isn’t it. He has some name value over here but him vs Catterall doesn’t do many tickets as a headliner.

I’m wondering whether MR owes Linares a fight.

Barely been checking the news recently but just seen the most recent circular.

Really like the Cartwright vs Antwi for the vacant British title.

Bentley and Sheeraz have a deal in place but unsure if the fight actually happens.

Wardley vs Adeleye and Heffron vs Cullen both been ordered too. Purse bids August 9th.

Really hope Bentley-Sheeraz happens, but Frank will probably make sure they both get the Janibek shot before he risks them against one another. Did you hear Hearn say Cash was approached for a Janibek fight.

Cartwright-Antwi is an intriguing fight but 154 domestically must be pretty barren if that's for the British.

I didn’t no. I was thinking Cash-Ammo would be rescheduled for AJ-Whyte 2. Wouldn’t be a bad opponent for Janibek tbf.

Think it’s on the Arthur-Suarez undercard in Bolton.

Quite possibly.

It's very left-field but if they can make Prograis-Catterall I'd be a bit intrigued by Dalton-Linares. It seems like the antithesis of trying to build through the belts but if they can't get Petitjean next it's a name value fight.

The MR inactivity at 140 is a bit frustrating. Love, Paro, Hitchens, Catterall - I know there've been injuries but they've not been in a good fight between them this year.

It is, per Boxrec. Who do you favour in that one? Antwi coming up from welter of course.

Cash split from Sims to go to Mark Tibbs I believe - from what I've heard in the interviews he won't be on the AJ card and there's doubts if it'll even be Ammo next. I think they want to stop wasting time with the Cash fight for Ammo now and move towards an eliminator. I think he's ranked pretty highly with the WBA from memory?

The Commonwealth Silver really is ridiculous. I don't hate Clarke-Allen as a way to boost Frazer's profile a bit, I think Allen is a decent name any of the Clarke/Adeleye/Wardley-Dacres kind of group should be looking to get on the resume. Would hope he'll be game but really shouldn't give Frazer too many issues, it's just whether he stops him.

Clarke is an Olympic medallist he shouldn't need to fight Allen to build his profile. Clarke should be fighting to aid his development in the ring not out of it, he's he's 32 in a few weeks he doesn't have time to waste.

The thing is most people don't know who he is. He fought in the Tokyo Olympics - because of the timezone & COVID probably the least notable Olympics in recent memory. He's not really a known name.

After the Wardley debacle I'd say he's pretty well known. I think it'd be a waste of time blasting out Allen in 2 rounds, after the Wach fight it's clear he has work to do in the ring

Dalton Smith is a more competitive matchup but I think Linares is too small for 140, his chin ain’t gonna stand up either.

I really wanna see Jorge retire tbh. Was one of my favourite fighters back in the day but he’s completely cooked. I hope he’s just continuing because he loves to fight rather than being broke.

If he is gonna continue maybe fight Gavin Gwynne or someone like that.
