We get a channel 5 card this weekend.

It’s Friday too.

To be fair.. did Gorman do much prior to the Dubstep poleaxing?

gorman was hyped up pretty decent and on lots of cards before dubs stopped him. was getting matched better too

tbf, i think he's not actually that bad. he's a chubster, but he's got some good quick hands and body shots. could be in good fights at british and possibly euro level depending who's on the scene at the time

The BBBoC have ordered Wardley-Gorman for the former's English title next. Quite interested to see that. As some have referenced, Gorman is skilled.

Is Joyce still holding the British title hostage? I don’t mind Wardley/Gorman but it should be for the British I think.

Yes, appears Joyce still holds the British. Agreed, it's a fight worthy of that title.

The belt hasn’t been defended for 18 months. The BBBC need to get their belts more active.

Yeh. Joyce is past British level. Never really was.

Good belt to win, but if he ain’t gonna defend it, not that there are any British level boxers for him, then he should vacate it.

So the Brathwaite/Essomba fight is off. This may be the worst televised card of the year on paper.

I miss Meaty Mick’s shows and Jon Pegg’s matchmaking.

Good to see Kelly in a solid test.

TBA?

Even better, a guy who lost to novice Mark Dickinson.

Either (a) Wasserman have no budget or (b) Kelly and team's confidence is in bits.

Actually, probably both now I think about it.

Don’t look! TBA looks like a machine in relative comparison to his actual announced opponent.

Press Release | Josh Kelly Faces Peter Kramer on Wasserman Card in Liverpool

Josh Kelly (10-1-1, 6 KOs) will face Hungarian Peter Kramer (12-5-3, 8 KOs) in Liverpool on Friday June 17 as Wasserman Boxing presents another night of action, live on Channel 5.

Kramer will enter the ring full of confidence off the back of a big win, and will be looking to seize the opportunity of taking a big name like Josh Kelly to push for another title challenge.

The momentum of his last fight will also be married alongside the additional experience of the 32-year-old Hungarian. Kramer has fought in Britain before, and can boast the greater ring experience with eight more fights and over 20 more rounds.

Kelly has previously expressed his readiness to shine having been out of action since February 2021, and Kramer could face the wrath of the rejuvenated “PBK”.

“I can’t wait to give Liverpool, the United Kingdom, and the world the chance to see Josh Kelly at his best again,” said Kelly.

“I’m ready to do whatever, and that starts with a dominant display live on Channel 5 in Liverpool. I can’t wait to give my fans, and all fans of the sport, a masterclass come fight night.”

Live on terrestrial television, Kelly will have the perfect opportunity to get back on track as he continues his pursuit on fulfilling his world title aspirations.

Kalle Sauerland, Head Of Global Boxing at Wasserman said: “Josh’s talent is assured in that ring, and the fighting city of Liverpool gets to host it. With over a million viewers on Channel 5 last time, the country will get the opportunity to witness a refreshed and ready “Pretty Boy” Josh Kelly."

Due to a shoulder injury suffered in training, Marcel Braithwaite has been forced to pull out of the British Super Flyweight Title Eliminator against Thomas Essomba.

Just seen.

It makes Warren’s BT output seem stacked.

Peter Kramer is awful. What are they doing with Kelly’s career? What’s the point of this?

seems like there's no confidence in kel anymore

Kalle Sauerland doesn’t look like a human being.

Is Josh Kelly a light middle these days?
I know it’s a nothing fight but after the last time I thought he might come in at welter to prove a point.
Well he hasn’t… he’s just over 154lbs.

Can’t even make 154

Hard to get too excited about this show.

Worth remembering it's free to watch and the last CH5 show was entertaining, the matches on the card are uninspiring but maybe the fights themselves will deliver. That's it !

100% correct

Isn't Gorman about 6ft 4in ?

Can't see him making 14st 4lbs and still being effective. He just needs to get in better shape and get serious about his career if wants to maximise his boxing future.

I think it's worth realising Gorman is British level, EBU at a stretch depending on the calibre of the opponent.

6'4 270lb, mabey he should move to bantum weight....
