Hide wouldn't be ringside cos 1) he is a Hennessy fighter and warren wouldn't have that
2) because there is a warrent out for his arrest.

Warran could really play on the two olympic medalists thing though that woud make sence from a promotional point of view

How about a gold, silver and bronze medalist - step forward Robin Reid?

Just being greedy again - would be great to see though.

who is promoting reid now is it fight acadamy?

Its says self manager on the boxrec guide.

Also says he's got a fight lined up in NOVEMBER, where have we been?

Its a toughie, Yusef Mack for the USBA title?? Not sure if it is accurate - first I have heard of it.

Not really sure who is promoter is, I don't think he is tied with anyone specifically. He had some connections with Matchroom and Jess Harding.

would be greate wouldn't it
Harrison Williams
Amir vs god knows who
Reid vs Froch
Skelton vs zzzzz

sorry this is turning into a wish list now. Maybe I should add Enzo Haye to it although of the SN fighters Enzo hasn't been on ITV yet as far as I remember

Is Takaloo vs Magee still on the undercard, says it is on Boxrec - hope ITV show this one.

There's an awful lot to fit on ITV, especially if they spend most of the show talking. Maybe they can show some of the undercard on ITV2/4?

The piece and pictures will be here

Good piece.

This is gonna be a great bill, with two unbeaten British Heavyweights fighting against two blokes who have knocked out Tyson.

A title for Williams Vs Harrison would be nice, but I think that bragging rights will be enough. Slightly surprising but Boxrec have Sherman Williams Vs Friday Ahunanya for the vacant Commonwealth heavy, so it looks like the Brits are missing out for a change.

I thought Bob Mivrovic was involved in the Commonwealth mix somewhere - wasn't he mandatory or something.

I'm not sure how the Commonwealth work it with the vacant titles? It looks like they just name a top ten, and the first two to arrange a match contest the title.

Nice piece Kevin,

It answered the questions I wanted to know.

Its odd to think Warren doesn't have options on Harrison. Either very confident of a Danny win, or doesn't really mind what happens to him.

Harrison could really be Warren's nemisis.

What were your vibes from the press conference Kev, it seemed like Audley and Jim McDonnell dominated the microphone - do you think Danny looked intimidated? Do you think Audley was being brash cause he is cacking it?

Warren said he only wanted options because of Skelton's title, he said he doesn't need options on this as he has confidence in Danny.

Audley dominated the microphone, he knows how to talk and says all the right things, McDonnell couldn't help but to wind him up and you could tell Audley didn't like it. How much a spar more than five years is going to affect the fight though.

Danny is just quiet he said what he had to say and that was it, he did plenty of interviews before the conference, but said he had to leave early so not sure how much he really cares about these type of things.

As I said before Audley is his own PR machine with his united jack hat the prodigal son returned.

Who wins, big ask for Danny who along with Jim are great blokes, but I have the feeling Audley is right about the Klitschko fight

I don't think its neccesseraly just the klitschko fight that will cause Harrison to win I think he is just a more skilled fighter. One thing that harrison does well and Williams doesn't is dictate the pace of the fight and in my view that will be telling because audley will be able to keep danny at the end of his jab and land 5 or 6 big shots a round then in the later rounds you will see bigger combinations

so anyone know how many fights will be on itv? assume the 2 heavyweight fights and amir khan would be live but it'd be good to see some of the others. anyone actually going to it?

It looks a good bill I just hope ITV allocate enough time to show the Eamonn Magee v Takaloo fight.

nice one

Wayne Alexander should get some big exposure on this show. How about a big KO to get things going?

Skelton V McBride delayed (because it aint gonna be great to watch - what happens if it turns into a bore? Remember Calzaghe V Starie before Tyson V Francis in 2000?)

Harrison V Williams live!!

How did Klitschko take a lot out of Danny? Danny's hardly been in wars.

Williams Vs Harrison should be the main event! Screw Skelton and Mc Bride, that should be the undercard with Khan.

Wonder what Skelton's thinking knowing that Danny's just got himself a bigger fight and a guy with a higher ranking than Mc Love Handles.

If there was any justice in the world magee takaloo would be the main event! Skelton vs Mcbride has the potential to be the worst boxing match ever. Reckon we will get limited highlights at best of by far the best fight on the card while we are forced to watch khan hammer some bum then be priviliged enough to see two pub brawlers fight at the top of the bill. Have to admit though audley and williams should be a bit of a belter.

I think you may very well be right but the 'powers that be' almost always but the Heavyweights as top of the bill. Rightly or wrongly I suppose they think it brings in the punters.

Overall it should be a good night.

So I guessed. What I was saying is that he should be. It would be a great showcase for him.

Things must be getting desperate in the Warren house. He's gotta pull out all the stops here to keep this ITV deal afloat.

But hey I aint complaining, an alleged congratulations for allegedly for such an awesome (and for once competetive) bill!!
