Looks like it might not even be on.

I saw it's now in doubt

What's happening

Doubt very mush itr was even on ,, All the bullshit about waiting for the bodies to sort it out is that just bullshit ,
Lets have it right if they did'nt sanction this one, who they going to sanction Haye versus Briggs , and even if they did this fight does'nt need belts , but theres no way would the bodies want to miss out on a sanction fee

Don't know, allegedly the WBA won't give them their super belt for it (why should they?) and Hearn claims Wlad won't fight without it.

Sounds like it was all just bullshit to me.

Well Haye vs Briggs is not happening at all because Briggs wants PPV, and nobody will show that fight on PPV.

Klitchko wants his belts back, which I completely understand. Possibly the only fighter who would fight for belts over money. The WBA won't sanction the fight because they have legal obligations under the circumstances to let the number 1 and number 2 contenders fight for the vacant belt. Klitchko could fight for the IBF, but for some reason he wants the WBA. This fight was always doomed from the very start.

Be good to have a thread like the betting one where people can post tickets for sale at face value or put details of boxers they know selling tickets for events or for boxers them selves to come on to put tickets on

Thats a good idea, a respected member or boxer thats been here a while and is trustworthy. a upcoming boxer who has a handfull to sell would surely sell them easily enough here.

I would be than happy to donate 50 quid on top to any boxers favourite charity who wanted to do so.

Cheers. I listened to half the IFL thing just now before the dodgy sound did me in.

I obviously don't know the ins & outs but I always thought it was a big risk from Wlad to come to the UK to fight AJ when he probably could fight someone a lot easier at home for decent money. And Wlad has not really shown a love of risk in the last few years.

Klitschko vs Brown/Ortiz for the WBA strap I reckon. Joshua vs Price for a defence of his IBF strap

Do you think Klitschko could beat both Browne & Ortiz at the same time

Yes.

Ortiz would dismantle him outside of Germany.

Tag team boxing. It's a new venture Klitschko is trying out to try and attract more viewers.

I think he'd have a good chance of knocking him out in Germany let alone outside of the country.

Now Briggs just tweeted that he has some good news to share

Well with the WBA I guess anything could happen but Browne is supposed to be fighting Oquendo for the WBA title.

I wish Oquendo would piss off. No offence to him.

Yeah I'm just concerned Wlad will be able to hold excessively and wear him down in Germany. But anywhere else it's lights out.

Yeah very true. I forgot about that aspect of Klitschko's game momentarily.

Yup; I watched recordings of a boxing card I was out of the country for, and the last UFC card that was on BT sport, and the UFC card, as usual, absolutely knocked spots of it. The Bisping fight was sensational, I was falling asleep during the boxing card.

I can honestly say I can't recall the last time I watched a really exciting boxing card.

I was watching Barrera Morales the other night, when was the last time a big fight lived up to that kind of hype?

The UFC 205 card is immense aswell.
