So Warrington's fight someone who got KO'd fighting for the title he vacated, that was a shrewd move walking away from the Selby fight

Aye, very underwhelming.

another year of milking his ill-informed fans

Im not bothered £20 for a vip ringside ticket and free bar.

Nicola Adams makes her debut on the bill too.

£20?

Her debut is in Manchester on 8th April too. Not that I have any interest in watching Adams' pro career

[Twinkle Toes]

This is a poor fight for Josh, and it adds a lot of credibility to what Hearn was saying in that his team want to ride the milk wagon for as long as possible (not that i blame them)

She must have 2 fights scheduled but being a Leeds lass wouldnt surprise me Leeds will be her first outing.

Leeds isn't her first outing. Her debut is on 8th April in Manchester & her second fight is in Leeds on Warringtons undercard

Yes i know that but it does say on the leeds card her debut. The fight in Manc might fall through.

It has to say debut for the Leeds card as she's not had a fight yet.

Yes I understand that. Most likely will be her 2nd fight in Leeds.

Is anyone really surprised by this?

What a pile of manure!

This is just crap. End of. I'd rather it be Wayne McCullough

You look at Josh's career he has generally been matched well from winning the English title to the Amagasa fight which was a really good learning fight and actually ideal preparation for a fight with Selby.

Really this is going back to the level of opposition he was fighting 3-4 years ago. Isaac Lowe ( fighting for the European title soon) has no problems what so ever with McCullough.

Ryan Walsh is fighting the week before against no opponent. He is perfect for Josh now, it would be a good fight which I feel Josh would win.

[Mimmy]

I think hes making money the easy way. He's filling Leeds Arena up every fight. this will be a sell out too with loads of chanting Leeds Utd fans singing Marching On Together, they love it and see no wrong so I guess let it be.

I've got no problem with that - he's mad not to have 2/3 more winnable learning fights for good money before he takes on the big boys.
Even then he probably won't cut it @ elite-level and get the huge-money fights. I'll be glad if he proves me wrong, but can't blame the guy for making some (relatively) safe money b4 risking his whole career on being exposed or KO'd.

Amagasa did appear a goodlearning fight for Warrington. But like you say since then they went back, not forward afterward. Despite the chance of a world title fight in Leeds. Which is very odd. Losing momentum is not smart. He doesn't appear serious about becoming a champion.

I was at the Amagasa fight, apparently his first serious opponent, first time I watched Josh, loved it, bought the t shirt. Since then I couldn't care less anymore.

Safe bit of match making isn't it...

Kiko Martinez in the frame apparently.
Leading to Selby in the summer...

Not sure about this. It could be a good fight but I think Kiko is too shot. Could be a bad beat down for him with Josh's lack of finishing power could pro long a beating for him.

Fair play if it ends up being Kiko Martinez.
