A kid called Aaron Lovell from Brum, he's signed to MTK. His first fight I posted on here a few months back, check my history you'll find it. His 2nd is on the Matchroom bill in Brum next month. Very mature kid, and has been training with, and helping coach UFC, and other high level MMA fighters since about 15, as well as boxing AM. Plus his old man was a 20+ fight pro boxer in the 80/90s so knows his stuff. He went the MMA route for a bit, but his boxing would be wasted there.

He had a fight scheduled that I was looking forward to, but got cancelled with Kennedy/Simmons, think he was fighting a fellow prospect from somewhere abroad. Remember his name?

Both Glasgow boys (Gorbals and Govan). Ham seems to be cracking on with his career but I don't know whatever happened to Brown. Watched him spar and he was very good. He turned pro but I think he only fought once or twice. Could've definitely seen them two pick up British titles. If anyone knows what the script is with Brown give us a shout. I actually just text my mate right there to see if he knows anything. Apparently Hearn was sniffing about trying to sign him when he was still in the ams.
I live in Greenock now and there's a young guy Sam Ball from over here that's supposed to be a bit of a prospect. Not had a chance to see him yet but heard only good things about him. One of my mates is a physio and has treated him a few times. Saw him fight as well and said he's shìt hot.
As far as I know mate Aston brown is with Anthony farnell in Manchester now and will be back in the ring soon

Out real soon guys and looking very well
Cheers Arnie. I'll keep my eye out for him. Always thought he'd go places when I saw him as an amateur
Undefeated welterweight, 1 draw on his record due to an accidental clash of heads which ended the bout early.
Good shout. I hadn't seen him until the Warren card the other week. I liked his venom.
Mark Jeffers another I've just thought of. Similar reasoning.
Mark fights out of our gym in Chorley and at 19 is still developing.
Scott Fitzgerald is another very talented lad at the gym who could go all the way.
I also like the look of jack Cullen,from Bolton

Gutted to hear about Leak, he looked decent

Malik Zinbad or something I think?
Yeah, drop the 'b'....was looking forward to two prospects going head to head.

I've seen him a couple of times. There's something there with Mark. I like him.

Do you know why Walsh took time out mate
I think he just had enough of it, but no doubt the success his brothers have had got him the bug back..
He's saying he wants one warm up fight, then wants Robbie Turkey for the Commonwealth

Nathan Gorman is billed as Nantwich fighter....I have not seen Nathan in Aldi just yet, but if he wants a coffee and a chat then I am happy to buy and sell my story to Boxing News

I know I didn't do too bad off the top of my head haha, He is now fighting Jermaine Asare on the Kennedy vs Askins card. No news on Morgan Jones on that bill. Disappointing as Asare was rumoured to be fighting Nathan Thorley on April 22nd
