Harper is decent to watch and comes across well so no problem with that fight last night.

Archie Sharp should have his licence revoked for that display. Doing the Ali shuffle and celebrating at the end of rounds after running for three minutes was a disgrace.

How does a 42 year old without beating a boxer with a winning record and her opponents combined records are 52-153 get a world title shot?
It was like watching a club amateur fight without the screaming mums

It's not. That wouldn't pass as a match. Harper would be elite.

That's a fight I'd look forward to. Both seem to want it.

hope it happens. Dubois win for me but Harper is a good egg and I hope she gets paid well. Dubois I admire for being so strong despite effectively being excommunicated by her family.

Harper says she is no longer with Matchroom.

Sure does, she’s got strength to escape all that.

Harper is a free agent now

“I believe I’m a free agent,” Harper said in an interview with Boxing King Media. “I’ll have a little break away and speak with my team. We have an offer in for Dubois, but nothing’s confirmed. I gave so much to this sport over the years, and I want to see what the best offers are for me and what’s going to financially do the best for my career as well.”

She needs to spin that as her choosing to leave MR (which may well be the case) rather than being let go. Otherwise it's not a good bargaining position for free agency.
