Steve Wood got him a deal with Matchroom, he was going to headline a card in Manchester against Selby. Then at the last moment he decided against it, dropped Steve Wood and signed with MTK. The Manchester card got scrapped altogether, it was the one where Buatsi stepped in and got injured again. I a...

Very unlikely, his whole setup is Matchroom, gym, Tony Sims etc

I'm guessing Cash as chief support, Wardley, maybe Lerrone Richards?

Madrimov vs Soro 2 is supposed to be chief support, Tony Sims been talking about Szeremeta as the fight they wanted for Cash

Soro's promoter says on Instagram the rematch is July 9th in London https://www.instagram.com/y12_boxing/

I think it's more of a group effort, all be it a bit of a blurry one. The promoter has budgets for a card, negotiates purses within the budget. The promoter will negotiate a purse with the "A-side" boxers manager then calculate the funds available for an opponent. Then the matchmaker finds...

its for some wba regional / intercontinental title, not the euro. did kerm vacate the euro then? Think he vacated for a world title eliminator which this will very likely become once Charlo/Castano has happened. The WBA trinket will push him up the rankings to fight the Madrimov/Soro rematch winner...

We’re 10 days or so away from the fight and still nothing announced re: TV deal. Probellum announced a while back that a TV announcement was imminent. Perhaps they were going after the channel 5 dates similar to Wasserman. Probellum and Discovery very recently swapped follows on twitter, thats prob...

Eddie said today on his instagram that an announcement will be made on Monday. He also said that the team would consist of the best lead commentator in the sport? Who is that? Darke has been out of the sport for so long that he surely cannot be considered the current best? I'd say Costello but he s...

Tony Sims says Hearn is getting him a spot on the Canelo/Smith undercard. Then Hearn says Canelo/Smith will free up the WBA Regular and he expects the WBA to order Ryder/Chudinov for the vacant early next year.

I think they literally are televised sparring sessions. Hearn only said about a fortnight ago how his US boxers were only just allowed to resume sparring. PBC, Matchroom and GBP are waiting til end of July so their guys are properly prepared. Arum's sacrificed his guys being ready to go first, TV ra...

Apparently a deal is close for a Warrington vs Xu unification when boxing comes back. Xu will be made full WBA champion when Tank vs Santa Cruz gets made Worth watching what Russell Jr does now that Tank vs Santa Cruz is going to happen, previously hes said he'll move to 135 if he doesnt get a big ...

Simple? Which other featherweight champion does Hearn promote? Yeah, simple probably isn’t accurate but Shakur Stevenson is with Top Rank and Eddie does do good, regular business with Arum. Perhaps Eddie does line up Warrington-Galahad 2 but I think Eddie knows it would be a tough sell as a headlin...

Hearn's done an ifl interview today, says the Bournemouth NXTGEN will be in June. Doncaster NXTGEN April 24th

Theres a few Matchroom cards announced now

7/3 Manchester
28/3 02
4/4 Newcastle
2/5 Manchester
9/5 Cardiff

Terri Harper says shes next out end of April, so i assume another card will be coming then. Usyk/Chisora rumoured for 23/5

Yeah, hes supposed to be on that card, Capparello fights gone quiet though, same with Johnson vs Mikhalkin. I wouldnt be surprised it Buatsi is now fighting Mikhalkin on March 28th, and Bivol vs Johnson is now happening, maybe on Whyte/Povetkin Buatsi v Capparello - Summer now - suspect AJ undercar...

Thats more Buatsi himself, hes really cautious. Pulled out of 2 cards, at least, last year for not being 100%. Yeah Buatsi is perfectionist - some guys would go in 85-90% - he’ll pull out as you say twice last year. I expect we might see him on 28th March card v Capparello ? Yeah, hes supposed to b...

Thats more Buatsi himself, hes really cautious. Pulled out of 2 cards, at least, last year for not being 100%. I didn't realise that about him. If that's the case maybe Hearn is fed up with him? He probably would be if he wasnt so good, also having the golden boy as his manager will give Buatsi a l...

His manager says hes headlining a card end of May. No opponent rumours yet. Id imagine if not a title fight maybe a Ryder or Lemieux final eliminator kind of fight.

He has no selling power. He also posted on Twitter that the rumours of him vacating to avoid a rematch with Julio Cesar Martinez were false. The very next day he vacates to avoid Julio Cesar Martinez. So the little fans he had he's lost. Throwing away a world title never goes down well with anyone....

I think OPI are moving into Spain. Sandor Martin vs Joe Hughes on the card Interesting. Any others announced for that event. Strange they'd have choosen an Italian company to operate in their Spanish region. Interesting choice, is that definately correct. https://twitter.com/EddieHearn/status/11916...
