New Prizefighter Heavyweight

[Mimmy]

I hope they announce Audley and Price as the last two Britains

Surely Harrison has to be on it, hes the champion last year, makes sense him defend a title he won no?

[Gordon KOs]

Hopefully they announce some names soon. Maybe they're waiting for Richard Towers to lose to BDB

[Horse]

I think I'll give this one a miss.

[crusader]

Is this the worst lineup yet in terms of quality?

yes very poor so far. The irony is there are a lot of decent British heavies around so a good all british version could have been put on with much greater potential for fan interest too and a chance to boost the division in the UK.

[funso banjo baby]

Brian Minto is excellent for this tournament.... quite shocked to see his name in the schedules.
hes past his best but always gives his utmost.

as for little and legg (sounds like a double act) utterly crap offerings

what happened to sexton ?

Audley is Prizefighter Emeritus.

[WelshJack]

They only have 9 days to announce the other competitors.

[the truth]

Crap line up tbh

[rm1]

heard Sprott is in and lewison reserve as Mcdermott has pulled out of their English title fight two fights a year obviously too much for him.

I want to see Lewison in this, don't we all?

[Freedom2013]

Sexton and Sherman Williams are out.

Sprott is in, Lewison is in as a spare.

This line up is awful. Never thought I would say it about heavyweight prizefighter but I think its done.

[Benelio]

C'mon. It's not too bad.... it's just Prizefighter. One thing it has going for it is that It's still tricky to pick a winner (especially when the lineup keeps changing!!). Toney is a shadow of his former self, and I wouldn't put it past a relative (and often clumsy) novice like Olubamiwo to outwork him over 3 rounds, for example.

It's still better than the majority of undercard heavyweight bouts - and I'm sure we'll see at least 2/3 good scraps out of the 7 fights throughout the night.

[Pipette]

EVERY boxer who steps into a ring deserves respect no matter what level they reach.

That said however .... Matt Legg is absolutely sh*te.

[mason123]

Joshua is headlining we will see him stop another victim i guess

[DavidPayne]

No chance of a McDermott this soon?

[rm1]

Mcdermott is injured hence why he has pulled out of the lewison fight which is a shame as he fights so rarely anyway.

[Horse]

Why hasn't Joshua's opponent been named yet?

If he's fighting an opponent who is a step down from Butlin then there's no point in watching this show at all.

Do we think he will still fight, they seem to have confirmed Darch for the later fight, bit strange doing that really, wondering whether he will actually fight on this one?

Answer my own question, someone has just told me he is fighting the Croatian that Hughie Fury fought and went the distance with, Kisicek or something like that.

Could be wrong but the fighter with the potential is the reserve, seems a bit crazy to be honest and presumably been done for a reason but I am struggling to see what that
is at present, think Lewison would win it personally

[rm1]

A fit Lewison would be hard to beat in this he is a reserve as he was due to fight John Mcdermott who has pulled out of his english title defence. The English contingent looks really weak James Toney willl have his opinion of english fighters confirmed.

How do you justify putting legg and little ahead of lewison?? Crazy decsion.
