So where on earth does Enzo go from here?? BJ Flores has a bout listed for Jan 23rd against TBA, but otherwise who??

If, IF the Khan/MAB fight happens then surely Enzo will be fighting a bum for chump change right?

What a complete and utter load of bollocks. Banks was made with Enzo via a purse offer. He has signed for the fight. Where do you get your bullshit info from? He's not confirmed to fight Adamek either? Again where did you hear this was confirmed, it wasn't from Banks or his people that's for sure? Has Enzo ever earned chump change? If he had, how would you know? Why don't you stick to what you know instead of making up what you clearly don't?- FOOL!

Word is that newly crowned IBF cruiserweight champion Tomas Adamek (36-1, 24 KOs) of Poland will make the first defense of his title against world ranked challenger Jonathan Banks (20-0, 14 KOs). The bout would take place February 27th at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey and be aired live on a special edition of SHOWTIME’s acclaimed ShoBox series. Adamek won the title at the same venue on December 11th, dethroning champion Steve Cunningham in front of a large Polish crowd. Banks was to fight Enzo Maccarinelli for the vacant WBO belt in December, but had to pull out with an ankle injury.



Mmmmmmm!

Maccarinelli to face Cunningham?

It looks increasingly like Enzo Maccarinelli will meet Steve “USS” Cunningham at the MEN Arena on March 14 for the vacant WBO Cruiserweight title.

Maccarinelli was looking to a bout with Jonathan Banks but Banks withdrew from a December date for the contest and he now looks set to face new IBF champion Tomasz Adamek in Adamek’s first defence of the title he won from Cunningham in one of the fights of 2008.

Although nothing is signed for a fight between the two yet, sources close to the Cunningham camp have said that a deal would be easy to do as both allegedly and Don King are already working together on the event which sees Amir Khan face Marco Antonio Barrera in the main event.


Maccarinelli lost the WBO title last March when he was blown away by David Haye in a unification bout but he is now looking to reclaim his belt.

The appointment of Cunningham as opponent would probably be welcomed by Sports Network as they will most probably look to put the card on pay per view in the UK and a big fight between two of the top cruiserweights in the world would add selling power to the card.

I'd be amazed if Warren makes this fight. It would be a great one.

Macca v Cunningham

Sounds like a great bill, but will it happen!!

We'll hear plenty of rumours in the coming weeks about Cunningham, Banks, Flores etc, but Warren will make the easiest and cheapest fight, that's a fact. If this one falls through i'm sure we'll see some unknown European make a meteoric rise in the WBO rankings overnight just in time for March 14th.

MK: How is the case with the Jonathon Banks fight? Is the contract signed already?

Tomas Adamek: The formalities aren't done yet, you don't sign a contract in a day, there's procedures to be followed, but everything has been ironed out and as for today I can state that I will meet Banks in the ring. He agreed to the fight, I did too. The official contract will be signed next week, most probably.

Never believed a word of the talk of Enzo v Cunningham.
