Assuming your talking about Jacob's boxrec record? Hes down as 1 and 0 as boxrec recognised that bout which was a Malta boxing commission sanctioned show, since the MBC restructured as BIBA ,boxrec wont/dont recognise the bouts now.
That's the one i looked at on boxrec,the more i look into who's on this show,the more shocked i am at the cost of the tickets :oo
It’s one thing putting high prices on tickets it’s another thing selling them

Yeah the prices were set for benn being on the card, 8500 apparently sold and event website states no refund so no sure what will happen for sure.

A decent amateur who had a long stretch in jail and can't get a license until his sentence is spent. Therefore he is doing the white collar thing
Whether you agree wi it or not it's not white collar, tommy will get an IBF ranking if he wins

He may get a ranking but the IBF will not sanction a fight on a BIBA show in the UK only on a BBB of C show .

Nothing confirmed as of yet, but im not surprised as BIBA cant fill an arena with no names on the show and ringside at over £500. It was a dream too far.

BIBA had a show last night in Lincoln and Gian hasnt posted anything to suggest the show has yet been pulled.

Was it Tommy who broke into a house and stuck a hatchet in a guy's head?

Tommy is still top of bill but in the video that I put up he tells you the situation. This is his views but they are going to be correct.

No reason to think that he was getting that though really is there?
Perhaps he was, perhaps he wasn't.
