Eddie on IFL referring to Don King as “a man of principles” quite how he maintained a straight face I’m not sure...
"Gentlemen, these are my principles, and if you don't like them, I have others."

Realisticly ,, does anyone care , i mean really , what you missing out on , a guy who mostly can't be bothered training , is only bang average at best even when he does train ,, and can't be trusted anyway going by the results and inquiry into his fight not long ago , fighting a gimmee fight against a guy who's trainer sat shaking his head , has he was telling him HOW to hit the heavy bag ..... C'mon , theres hundreds of guys out there who are in condition and will jump at the chance for the exposure , and give a 6 rnd war , for a fraction of the cost s
I care because I want my absolute guaranteed bet on Allen stoppage to come in

fight is off, im sure there could be a replacement found. There must be loads of boxers that are in training just to keep themselves sane.

Why is the fight off?
Lovejoy has a promotional contract with Don King that he didn't tell anyone about and DK blocked the fight. Hearn tried to strike a deal with him but evidently couldn't.

Super bill now. 1 decent fight, 3 bitch fights and a mismatch
I really want to see the Chisora/Usyk fight but even as a PPV mug, I'm struggling to find justification to pay for this show.
I've no idea who was at fault for the Allen/Lovejoy cancellation but if it's because of Don King that would be tragic. He shouldn't have any influence over this sport anymore, he's yesterday's dinosaur.

Lovejoys fault. If he declared it at start it wouldnt be an issue

Yup ,boxing is bollix some times .
Mark Bennett took the fight as late replacement but his medical couldnt get sorted out. Thats a crying shame, Mark said his bag was packed ready.

Bet there's a few that would have taken it , I suppose it's stuff like medicals that simply can't be sorted at such short notice .

Its a bummer really, I'm not sure Bennett after a long layoff could have beaten Allen as hes got a decent chin but its a decent payday for the likes of these guys who are struggling to get ring time.

Shame, in normal times I guess Mark Bennett would have a had a BBBC valid medical and would have been given his shot, But as he hasn’t been in the bubble and had the covid tests he can’t fight.
