I wonder how that impacts Avanesyan?!

What if he isn't registered by them? or unregisters?

He's based in the UK isn't he?

I’ve no idea who he’s registered and whether he’d be able to move to being licensed by the BBBC or someone else.

Would seem pointless making a rule and then letting people bypass it although I don’t think it’d be fair for Avanesyan given he trains/spends a lot of time in the U.K.

You'd think he's already registered with the BBBC seeing as he regularly fights here.

You're right though. Would be unfair.

Fights in nine days..

Next weekend basically.

Hopefully Frank can tell us more on his usual weekly hour chats with Koogs.

Koogs isn’t allowed near him. Frank only lets Umar ask him questions.

Umar it is.. I'll take that..

Wonder when their next therapy session is due..

Koogs is all matchroom anyway isn't he.

Good news.

Fight confirmed.

Ava situation explained

EBU welterweight champ David Avanesyan is a Russian citizen but will still be able to defend the title on March 19 in London against Finn Oskari Metz.

How can that be?

Well, Boxing Scene has learned that Avanesyan is based in the UK, fights with a Serbian license and is of Armenian origin - and the fight was scheduled before the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Right or wrong, the fight is on.

Fight Week!!

5th straight euro title defense for ava, anyone know the most consecutive defenses?

Sheeraz - Smith should be a good scrap for 2-3 rounds before Hamza takes him out. No issue with this fight.

Lynn - Beech is a good fight TBF

Noakes opponent is reasonable.

McCans opponent is not acceptable.

Strange card

The Lynn/Beech fight is off the show now. Shame as that was the most competitive fight on the show for me.

It’s strange how little publicity this show is getting. I’m not seeing much even on social/YouTube for it.

Awful card.

Ava has been feasting on low level competition since the Kelly fight. He seems like he's waiting for the Benn fight but it ain't going to happen so why not move on? He must be 33/34 now so he doesn't have time to waste. Crawford doesn't have a fight lined up so why not make a statement and beat someone like Kavaliauskas?

Frank said Metz is the best opponent they could get. I’m sure it is when you’re likely not offering much for potential opponents and Ava on his own doesn’t draw much financially.

Then he's a fool for signing Ava just to spite Eddie. I would rather he spend the money he's paying Ava on domestic level fighters and put them in 50-50's.

I agree. Every interview him or Neil Marsh discussing Avanesyan they mention Conor Benn. They should forget about it and make some meaningful fights.

Frank has done great for Parker (another one of Marsh’s fighters) but just because he did a good job for him doesn’t mean he can make the big fights needed in a much more competitive division - particularly with someone who struggles with English and in a division where FW doesn’t have many top fighters (just Essuman who isn’t ready for it).

Strange signing for both really.

maybe ava enjoys being an a side euro champ in the uk rather than getting beat in the usa again. kava wrecked him and peterson beat him clearly

i wonder what type of money he's getting for his euro title fights though?

This will be BT Sports 3..

Stiff competition from the UFC London.
