might find who else is on the bill and who is opponent is.

I heard tommy Jacobs against a washed up mayorga was on the card but I’m not 100% sure one thing for certain is that BIBA boss gianluca di caro will make a few quid out of it lol but having said that you have to respect his marketing ability getting people to pay for licensing and sanctioning fees for what is basically a white collar outfit tbh
Yes Tommy has confirmed Mayorga.

Big spot to hire out for BIBA boxing. There is a female fight also on the bill, someone called Marianne?? Di Caro's wife or girlfriend.

If its sakio Bika then that could be bad move

Bakia might be 40 years old but should still be half lively

It has to be some other previously retired boxer, I cant imagine Benn fighting any of the BIBA light heavies as there isnt a 'name' in the list that could sell a decent amount of tickets to fill Birmingham. Ill piss myself if Steve Collins is named.

If Bika is anywhere near fit, Benn is in serious trouble and will wish very quickly that he didn't come back at such an advanced age and after so long out.

Chief support Frank Bruno vs Danny Williams would be a real pickem fight , Gianluca has no shame do anything for a few quid .

Even if this was on the cards Bruno would stop Williams pretty easily.

Whoever has given Benn a licence to box and put him in with a man 15 years his junior should be ashamed of themselves. Benn risks getting seriously hurt.

Tommy Jacobs was stopped by a 19-16-1 37 year old Nicaraguan last time out, might not be the easy name he is hoping for.

I thought so,very worrying that anyone could want benn to fight again letalone someone like Bika. On paper Bika would destroy Benn.

If it is Bika he's a prick for accepting it, making himself a bit of cash by fighting a middle aged man who hasn't fought for nearly a quarter of a century.

well he's been hardly active himself out of over 2 years - don't understand why Benn would want to fight whilst his son is active

Doesn't Bika seem like an overly tough opponent for someone out that long? I'm defo getting the feeling we won't see him turn up full tilt.

Surely Bruno would be the headliner?
