Sounds like okolie is free. he will wanna get a contract locked in befor his purse bids happen for david light. Be grim to try negotate after that stinker of a mandatory has a 27 dollar purse bid.

Okolie says he’s free. Eddie says he isn’t. I’m pretty sure 258, his old management team, said he had a fight left too.

If he was free, then surely he’d just sign with someone else?

There’s a $300k minimum purse bid I think for the Light fight. Will be interesting to see what happens. Given who Boxxer have, it’d make sense for them to try and get it.

Has Eddie put all his eggs in the Conor Benn basket or is Dalton Smith his next superstar?

This thread is wild. Yes EH can do your head in at times but you should surely always want more world champs from the country? Absolutely made up for Wood anyway.

It was the cereal originally.. but then LSC finally vacated the super, so Wood became the sole WBA holder.

So is wba going to make another ref champ? Or are they getting rid of champs finally like they have been promising for years…

They’ve pretty much got rid of all of the super champs/interim champs now. The ABC in the US threatened to stop sanctioning their bouts until they sorted things out which was the catalyst needed. There’s only a few divisions that still need to be sorted for them.

Eddie’s last man standing, Joe Cordina, says he will move up in weight after the Cacace fight.

Think frank only has fury…. And sky only has billium smith… Very grim uk champ scene given how many belts exist.

Arguably could be 1 uk world champs by mid may… and only cause billam smith ducked Jai…

Genuinely think the top promoters in the uk at too preoccupied by Saudi money and getting that international profile to worry too much about grassroots boxing.

Maybe not his fault but when Eddie does a Raw ifl video, most of the content is about Heavyweights and international fighters. Very little about domestic fighters who Saudis will not be interested about. Same with Warren.
