Not according to FW's website; there's still tickets left for that one. Good to see that an English title fight has sold out York Hall. It's a proper title in my opinion.

There will be loads for sale outside wont there? Most of the boxers on the bill get a discounted allocation which usualy end up being sold outside by their mates - if you don't turn up too early the prices will be about standard too.

Good to see the Heavyweight division is back on the agenda with fans after a lean time over here of late. While British Heavies are not exactly setting the world on fire overseas they are generating a bit of interest back home which is good news. We just need to see Audley Harrison headlining some more BBC bills and get the interest rolling again in a match between him and one of the other fellas.

Will be interesting to see what condition they both come in as they have had plenty of time to train. I hope Francis comes in good condition he hasn't been at his best in his last few fights and although he is old he should be in better condition than he has been. I think if Skelton wins by KO he can feel hard done by if he isn't the next guy facing the British champ. While Audley I believe is a better boxer than Skelton a SkeltonvWilliams/Sprott would be easier to make as all 3 are promoted by Sport Network. Can anyone tell me if Sprott will have to vacate his Southern Area title if he wins the British title off Williams.

James - yes, board regulations say you have to give up your area crown if you win the British title.

Actually Bennie, do you know where I can get hold of a copy of the BBBC Regs?

Cheers man. I think now all Audley fans will be rooting for Sprott as then I think a Harrison vs Hide fight for the Southern Area title would look good. Harrison would then be in a position to bring top fighters to defend against and also would be up there to challenge for English and British titles. Is Williams vs Sprott for the British and Commonwealth titles or just the British title.
