UK boxing news round up.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Is there a way of finding out the winning promoter & the value of the purse bid for each of the fights the BBBoC ordered - most of the purse bids are today at noon I believe - or do we just have to wait for that info to come out?

You usually have to wait for the BBBofC’s next circular I think. Azeez-Pitters and Essuman-Antwi are the two fights I’m really hoping get made.

Seems Joyce has done the right thing and vacated. Wonder if there was informal pressure off the BBBofC that he may have to defend it that's persuaded him to do so, but hopefully they can elevate Wardley-Gorman to being for the vacant. Reckon Channel 5/DAZN will let their fighter fight on a different platform?

Saw a rumour about Makabu-Merhy being agreed, and Opetaia's management keen to defend against the CBS/Chamberlain winner. Who does that leave for Riakporhe?

Yeah great news that, hopefully Matchroom and Wasserman can work out a deal.

Riakporhe’s world title ambitions will probably have to wait until 2023. Jack Massey rematch for the IBO strap maybe?

Wouldn't mind that, it's a decent fight. Don't think I saw Riakporhe-Massey, good fight? Were the cards about right?

Saw on here that Conway is lined up to fight Ammo Williams on the Canelo-GGG card. Am presuming he'll stay on the Sheffield card but it'll just be a tuneup fight kind of like Metcalf had on a card (can't remember which) before the Lejarraga fight?

I’d have to go back and rewatch it to be sure but I remember having it close and Riakporhe scoring a knockdown late in the fight which gave him the edge on my card. Both have improved since too.

I must’ve missed that, thanks for the heads up. It’s a tough ask but a great opportunity for Conway. Probably just a tune up I reckon.

I thought the 115-113 was about right. I think the flash KD in the 10th was the difference. It has been a while since I saw it but it was an entertaining fight. Richard won early rounds and Jack won the later ones (with the exception of the 10th when he was dropped). I was impressed with Massey being able to handle, for the most part, Richard's power. Massey busted up Riakporhe and hurt him with several body shots.

[Mammoth]

Conway is going to get stopped by Ammo Williams.

Conway is going to get stopped by Ammo Williams.

I agree tbh. Conway’s a natural 154 lb’er too.

Essuman-Antwi and Wardley-Gorman both looking likely.

Essuman-Antwi and Wardley-Gorman both looking likely.

Any idea why JJ Metcalf withdrew from the Williamson fight? Absolutely fuming, that would've been a fun 55/45 scrap too. Same for the Crocker v Kongo fight, I felt like Crocker would've won without much issues.
