30 days to promote at a c.10,000 seat arena. Given how close it is I’d be surprised if they actually have an announcement press conference.

There’s been talk of Wood on this date for weeks now - I wonder why Matchroom are seemingly struggling to get shows locked down and announced.

DAZN.

I wonder what they have they’ve got to gain though from not wanting to announce early. People are more inclined to cancel when there’s nothing confirmed coming up.

For all their ills Matchoom are a very professional outfit. The current shambles of scheduling and uncertainty over fight dates and plans for fighters has to be linked to DAZNs troubles and their pivot to trying to make quick profit and PPV.

There is a lot going on behind the scenes.

that seems to be the case. to me it has the ring of a desperate outfit (DAZN) lurching from short term crisis/decision to the next short term crisis/decision.

Knowing what Hearn is like I would’ve expected an easy defence & then a Warrington fight in the spring.

It’s a cracking card but it’s annoying that Hearn keeps doing this. They can put shows on whenever on Dazn. They don’t have to work round football or any other sport & he’s just doing it to be a pudendum. There’s no reason at all for this to be on the same night as Joyce - Parker. Whenever there’s clashes it’s always him announcing his show 2nd. It’s got to be deliberate.

I think they’ve had the Nottingham Arena booked for about 6 weeks. It’s just taken ages to announce it. I can understand more clashes given the accumulation of shows (music, sports, comedy) making open venue dates in certain cities difficult but I still find it weird how long it’s taken to lock down and announce.

If Wood gets him past 3 then he can box him well if he can keep him long.
If.

Lara KO1 for me.

also he looked vulnerable to the body, and Wood bangs the body hard
