How is Hearn buying him a European title? Purdy still has to beat Bundu in the ring.

Purdy getting a world title shot seemed to be more acceptable to people than him getting a European title shot.

There was a fair amount of puzzlement about the world title opportunity but I think most imagine that Lee would have given it his best go; he didn't seem to do that in fairness and though he showed his toughness he didn't really seem to the best in Europe. Boxing is a funny sport though and he may do well v Bundu if his heart is in it.
