Degale & Selbys Opponents

[Taansend]

Any news, or even rumours on who their opponents are yet?

Less than four weeks away now and it all seems a bit strange that there's no announcements.

Thanks

In his post event chat with Kugan on Saturday night, Frank said opponents would be announced today.

[Marlo Stanfield]

Ridiculous that Frank said in their press conference the opponents would be announced the following day. Not expecting anything even remotely challenging

[Andrew]

He said on Ifl after the Newcastle show the announcement would be today ......

[wesshaw1985]

I've heard its Caleb Truax for DeGale, Nathaniel May for Selby...

I've seen Degale is fighting TBA and Selby will be fighting TBC.

Caleb Truax is boring, but it's a respectable match up at least.
Nathaniel May is a bit of a joke, 18-1 compiled entirely in Western Australia and he gets a WT shot ?!

[jamamb]

truax isnt really respectable.got stopped in 1 by dirrell.best win probably don george 5 years ago

i know its a 'just get them out there' bill and degale did have tough fight vs top opponent last time, but stll boring as f

[TheGingerBomber]

Neither of them should be the main event.

Truax confirmed for Degale - http://www.boxingnewsonline.net/breakin ... -revealed/

Still waiting for Selby but he Tweeted stating he has known for a few weeks and will be announced today.

What was you expecting at this short notice?

[jamamb]

Eduardo Ramirez (20-0-3) for Selby - did see Selby said he’s known the opponent for 3 weeks.

I can see why Hearn didn’t want to pay for De Gale’s tune up fight now to be fair.

[Andrew]

Poor.

Put when fights are announced with no opponents for the home fights you can't be optimistic.

Just hope for better next year. Selby will get a decent fight next anyway.

Do we have different ABC governing bodies for unannounced opponents now?

Yeah at least we know 2018 should be a good year for Selby, opponents wise. Can't say the same for DeGale though, just got to hope the loser of the Eubank Groves fight is snapped up for the summer & then goes onto fight the winner of it back end of the year (which I doubt will happen tbh)

Unlikely when you have -

FW just sued Eubank.
Groves/De Gale does more £££ On Sky.
Callum Smith - Matchroom

Eubank v De Gale at best would be ITV.

Yep. I think DeGale will have a terrible year if he signs a promotional contract with Warren. Probably end up defending against the likes of Gavril after he loses the rematch with Benavidez

And people on here criticise Hearn
