He is scheduled to be fighting Marc Callaghan at the begining of next year for the British title. But it seems to be quite tentatively set with not much publicity yet.

Well if Pickering didnt let Hunter off the hook in the first two rounds it would have been a better result than Molitors win and anyhow ive seen fighters in lesser trouble than what hunter was and get stopped. There would have been no argument if it had been stopped

I believe he was asked to step in for Scott Harrison but (wisely) turned it down.

Pickering is determined to get his career back on track, I think there's a gulf between Dunne, Pickering and Hunter to the rest of the Super-Bantamweights in the country, but only time will tell.

Don't start this again, I know Dunne is Irish but he fights against British fighters, I was just saying there was a Gulf between Dunne, Hunter, Pickering and most of the other fighters in Britain if not Europe.

There certainly isnt a big gulf between Hunter and Callaghan. They drew their first fight where opinions was divided and their second fight was a war, one of the fights of the year in 2004 for the British title with Callaghans corner throwing the towel in in the 10th. It was toe to toe all the way. You wouldnt have a draw and one of fights of year between two boxers if there is a gulf between them. Hunter v Callaghan II wasnt televised which is a shame. Anyone know where or how I could get a copy? Fight took place at Hartlepool Borough Hall on 18/11/04, was joint top of bill with Kevin Bennett v Dean Phillips British lightweight title fight. Dave Garside promoted
