Lewis Ritson vs. Hank Lundy | Sky Sports - 16 October 2021 (OFF)

[Offthehook]

Could be a simple win for Ritson.

Agree, “could” all depends on lundy, not really ritson

[peter barlow]

Ritson pulled out fight cancelled supposedly? How many fight cancellations is that already for Boxxer/Sky

Nearly all tickets sold for the Ritson fight too, shambles.

[peter barlow]

Boxxer = circus



2nd show and 4 cancelled fights. Coincidentally the biggest ticket seller on this one's. I hope fans get refunded. Probably the only decent fight on the card once again.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Boxxer??

More like Bolloxx..

apart from Ritson, who is from Newcastle, we have Marshall who is from Hartlepool..

Most probably bought tix for Ritson.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Was Ritson at the presser?

Yep, I doubt Hughie or Eubank done many either

What are the 4 cancelled fights?

This was the fight I was most looking forward to as it was well matched. Crazy to let him know via hand written scribbles - looks amateur.

Press Release | Lewis Riston out with illness, Hank Lundy clash off Newcastle bill

The North East’s brightest new boxing talents Steve Robinson, Michael Webster, April Hunter, Georgia O’Connor and Mark Dickinson are ready to represent their region this Saturday night.

Headlining this Saturday’s action-packed BOXXER event at the Utilita Arena, live and exclusive on Sky Sports, Hartlepool star Savannah Marshall is making the second defence of her WBO World Middleweight title against the undefeated challenger Lolita Muzeya; World heavyweight title contender Hughie Fury faces hard German Christian Hammer and British star Chris Eubank Jr. tackles dangerous German Wanik Awdijan.

Lewis Ritson was scheduled to face American Hank Lundy on the show in his first fight back following his loss to Jeremias Ponce in June this year, but has today been forced to withdraw from the card due to illness.

For heavyweight sensation Steve Robinson, this is a great opportunity for him to showcase that he can be the next big prospect to rise up in the talent packed and competitive division. The Ivan Drago lookalike who is undefeated in three fights, two by KO, goes by the nickname USSR and will face Manchester’s Reece Barlow over four rounds.

A talented footballer at Newcastle United’s Centre of Excellence until a knee injury ended her career, April Hunter has found more success with her fists after switching to boxing. Newcastle’s first female professional boxer in 30 years, welterweight Hunter is undefeated in four fights and faces Pensnett’s Kirstie Bavington.

Making her professional debut will be the multi-decorated Team GB member Georgia O’Connor who will compete in the super-welterweight division. O’Conner won gold at the 2017 Commonwealth Youth Games and silver at the World Youth Games in the same year.

Also making his entry in the pro-ranks will be the eight-time National Champion, Gold medallist at the Youth Commonwealth Games and the European Youth Championships and Team GB member, Mark Dickinson.

Finally, the undercard features a highly anticipated trade fight in the domestic middleweight division between Manchester starlet Brad Rea and Harrow Weald’s battle-hardened Jez Smith.

Is this ethical from Sky/Boxxer? Shady selling tickets under false pretence and not informing paying fans

[peter barlow]

Supposedly they didn't offer refunds on the last Eubank show and won't here. Despite it being nearly all Ritson fans buying tickets.

Seems like a con job no?

Ritson will have the ticket money from his followers I think?

[KiwiRider]

He’s obviously past his best, but that best was better than Ritson’s.

You seem to think this is easy for Ritson ?

No not easy, I just think Ritson has way more in the tank and will be outworking Hank.

Lol he’s come off of a lot of bad fights. Let’s look recently….wide loss to patera….wide loss but gift to Vasquez….wide loss and stoppage to ponce….. he’s essentially finished but I like him. Lundy is American n fought the harder opposition. The guys Lundy lost to would beat ritson. All depends on how Lundy travels and his desire at 38

Hmm, have a look at Hank's recent record. He loses to the guy on the up, then has a couple of fights with sure wins to keep is record looking good. And Ritson (if you ask his promoter) is on the up...

Hopefully they do get it, the Eubank show didn't offer refunds.

They also haven't even announced its off or informed fans, presumably to trick a few more into getting tickets?

Why not announce immediately what they waiting for

On the up? He’s lost his last 2 fights regardless of the dodgy points win. Lundy is certainly at the end of his career but I feel Ritson isn’t too far behind him.

Ritson record suggests he isn’t on the up, seems those promoter Jedi mind tricks on uninformed fans still working well. Like I said Lundy has lost to guys that would all beat ritson. Ritson is basic and since moving to 140 has been pretty much losing every fight (easily) bar a debated close points decision to rdj. lol need to separate ur bias from fights, I like ritson too but he’s shopworn

Sorry, it didn't come across that well in text.
I said in brackets "if you ask his promotor" he is on the up

It’s ok mate. I get what u mean

That’s disappointing, I had Lundy @10/3 outstanding value.

Eubank won't personally know anyone who has bought to see him. Ritson will probably have the cash after dropping off all week. His phone will be going mad.

I was gonna stick a few quid on him too. It is a decent price.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Apparently.. Boxxer posted a letter under Hank’s hotel room door.

That’s how they told them it’s off.

Just hours after they landed.

No wonder he is pissed, that's a pussy move . No word on what ails Ritson?
