She probably does more tickets in the north east than most other fighters do anywhere. I don't think she's even boxing on that show.

Surely both Psychologically and physically he cannot be right though for the 11th.

Who knows.

The fact that the fight is 16 days away now isn’t good at all and it was first reported almost a week ago about the supposed injury. I can understand taking a couple of days to get their stuff together on a replacement fight(s) but there’s no way it should be taking this long as they’re still selling tickets for a fight that may not happen and people will be spending money on transport/hotels etc.

Not everyone’s on social media.

I know a couple of people that are going who I spoke to at the weekend who didn’t have a clue there were rumours the fight was off.

The vibe I'm thinking is something like the Whyte vs Wallin stuff (taking that at face value and not the conspiracy theories) and Willians must have some injury but they truly dont know if it will be recovered in time.

Hard to lay the finger on sky, in this day of mass social media.....surely Williams can say if the fight is off or his social media. My feeling a bit like matchroom/Dazn and Whyte who went quiet for days, I think no one knows the extent of the injury quite yet

Matchroom/DAZN were quiet for around 24 hours. This is approaching a week. Sky/Boxxer/Williams need to take some responsibility. Either come out and say the fight’s on or explain the situation - having it in limbo does no one any favours.

Yes, but why Sky perhaps they are in the dark as us? Surely Williams can say if the fight is off. Perhaps he is in limbo also, it was rumoured that he only had a scan about 24 hours ago. Perhaps hes awaiting the results on the scan before coming to a final decision.

He may be thinking if I can't fight anyway, why not stick it to Eubank Jr in the process? Surely they can't draft in a credible opponent at this point, especially in Cardif.

Boxxer have had a terrible start as it is, mainly due to bad luck but it's terrible form not making any comment at all.

He supposedly had the scan on Monday. Not sure why it takes that long to get it sorted considering it was Friday when the issue was found and they should have had the results straight away. It’s not like they’ll be waiting on the NHS to hear back.

The fact Sky have actively stopped promoting the fight means they must know something is going on. Adam Smith is normally interviewed post show by the likes of IFL etc. but there was no sign of that after the Riakporhe show. Ultimately they’re the ones paying for the fight so should demand clarity.

The whole world knows something is going on. Buncey cancelled a discussion on the fight in his podcast as "the fight is off". Warren told Eubank to fight Zack Parker instead. However, my gut is that whether this is an injury or some legal wrangling I think camp Williams is assessing to see if it can be resolved by fight time.

Cant imagine Sky are happy that they cannot promote the big show as they would like. I cant imagine Eubank is happy knowing if he will fight or not. Yes we need answers but at the same time if there is hope the fight can survive, you cant blame Williams for keeping a low profile. You dont really want his opponent knowing all the details on what is happening, whether that is injury or legal.

It's a mess, but at the same time I cant blame anyone staying silent if there is hope it can be resolved in time
