Harrison out due to Benn’s unprofessional team!
Any reason why?

9 times out of 10 it's to do with money.

I wonder how tickets sales are going. Looking on Eventim it looks about half sold out, but as boxers on the card will have handfuls of tickets to sell thats not a real reflection on how sales are going.

I had to laugh on Twitter as Harrison put out a tweet saying he was off the card due to Benn's team and the replies where full of guys saying stuff like "Sorry mate, you just cannot get a break" and "You are on a run of bad luck".
Pretty sure his bad luck is self inflicted and thus not in fact bad luck but poor lifestyle choices and being a right effing thug in the crisp aisle

Benn’s team refused crisps on his rider.

I saw him in lydl once. He was play fighting with a little girl. It didn't register who he was a first but I immediately recognised ridiculous reflexes. He saw me watching and we both felt a bit awkwardliamlion wrote: ↑15 Oct 2019, 17:37Iain Weaver had his BBBoC licence taken away (indefinitely suspended) before his first pro fight several years ago, owing to an arachnoid cyst showing up on a brain scan. He has never fought with a BBBoC licence despite having tried for years to regain his licence. He was basically born with the cyst and despite having hundreds of fights with the cyst the BBBoC won’t return his licence.
Very talented fighter is Weaver. Traveller background.
It is confirmed that he has signed to fight Harrison on the Benn-Bika undercard.
Ps You can fight in America without a BBBoC licence.
It wasn't til I was getting bread thrown at my head at the ludicrously busy till, that it clicked who he was.

On the Costello and Bunce podcast they said that the fight is in 12oz gloves.

I’ll be surprised if Benn sees the 3rd round

William Joppy pasting Roberto Duran springs to mind.

Like the mess that Harrison once made of a crisp aisle?

Age is just a number. You can believe it if you try hard enough.

Can Bika carry him for 10 or 12 rounds without it not looking like a pantomime performance, like Mickey Rourke’s Russian fiasco in 2014?
Re: Nigel Benn V Sakio Bika

Is that on the undercard?
Re: Nigel Benn V Sakio Bika

I can't see this going ahead. Surely Benn will not be willing to fight for peanuts this is likely to generate. There's clearly next to no interest beyond this mainly negative forum thread.

It must be in his head. I know the guys behind the show, I know how much Benn gets for personal appearances. It doesn’t make sense. Certainly not money sense. He must genuinely believe he’s still got it.

Razor Ruddock had a go at the Canadian title at 51 years old and looked absolutely awful getting pulped in 3 rounds. Benn is going to get into that ring and is going to look like some slow motion ghost.

Are they trying to charge online for this pish? Who's licensed it?

Might've known they dodgy bastards would be involved. They'd probably licence the drummer from Def Leppard if he applied
