Smigga get married next weekend so I am not sure they would be over the moon to get shunted to next week

There is nothing on FW's website, anybody got a link of this being confirmed?

Stephen Smith can top the bill and be shown live on SKY TV and record the undercard fights!

His website is still offering tickets to the Excel, but Francis Warren (Franks son?) has confirmed on Twitter that Murray v Mitchell is added to the Liverpool show.

P1ss poor from FWP that 5 days from one of the most anticipated domestic fights of the year, us know nothing fans are deafened by his silence.

Not sure how this is going to make money so I can see it falling apart. Compare the Liverpool card (normal Sky) with the last Warren card (Groves v Degale) that was on SBO....

Murray v Mitchell
Burns v Cook
Bellew v McKenzie II
Gavin v Woodhouse


Degale v Groves
Cleverly v Kuziemski
Gavin v Mutley
Billy-Joe Saunders v Kevin Hammond

sky have just confirmed that this show has been delayed a week on their website, the reason behind it is that Mitchell had a viral infection. is this a new excuse for poor ticket sales!!!!

Hardly Ideal preparation for Mitchell, must be a chance he don't recover fully surely these things can hang around for ages under the surface, hard enough working with them
let alone fighting.

If they try and put this one on box office, they can stick it right up their arses.

This is crap for all those fans that have pre paid for train tickets etc.

This is one of the fights of the year for me, massive Murray fan (probably because i'm a manc and a man city fan) and im a big fan of Mitchell too.
But, if this is PPV, i certainly wont be paying it. Its getting a bit stupid now

My suspicious mind tells me this is due to poor ticket sales. In all honesty this fight was never going to sell out a big venue, like wise neither was the Liverpool Card.

Not the first time this sort of thing has happened with Frank.

It's not going to be PPV Josh, fear not

on the plus side, great night of boxing in Liverpool, looking forward to pretty all those 4 fights

Excited about boxing again after my temporary blip at the weekend lol

It can't be PPV this late in the day but there's surely a significant risk of the card delivered being significantly less attractive than the one currently on offer? It would be a shame as this is a cracking looking card, deeper than anything since Magnificent 7.

Dont think this fight is happening, maybe reschedule for a diferent date but not on the 16th...

must admit i thought when i saw it was only a week it looked a bit dodgy,

I dunno and maybe i'm being hard on him, but i'm not sure if his head (Mitchell) is in the right place at the moment.

We'll see i suppose

anything less than a Mitchell win, i think we can guarantee that after the fight his legal issues/ weightmaking issues/ staph infection/ ingrown toenail/ arguments with his girlfriend/ bad aids will be referred to......

Does anybody know if there are any tickets left for the show in Liverpool?

haha so true, I think Murray's too strong anyway regardless of the list of issues he may have. i do hope it happens though as i think it'll be a good un.
