It's now officially off.
That's the end of this topic.

Yeah, show officially cancelled...
Rio confirmed that the high level of ticket refunds following Benn's withdrawal made the show virtually impossible to save.
Shame for the undercard fighters

Anyone involved in a card where a 55 year old coming back from a 20 year lay off was scheduled to fight deserves nowt else. I know it’s hard to say no to a pay day and everyone is trying to get their break but we’ve all got a bit of moral responsibility for steering clear of events that could seriously damage the sport.
Glad it’s cancelled and no sympathy for anyone involved as hard as that sounds

Same here,adding Harrison to the bill as some kind of major replacement for Benn showed us just about the levels where BIBA are.
