Yes - he has a piece of Fury but he was unable to get a U.K. fight sorted for him in December and last night’s show will be his only one up to the end of March.

MTK had a good show last week with McComb vs Gwynne and have others lined up including the Frampton world title fight.

The Fury partnership is going to be worth so much for him. If the two fighters are going to be sharing £100mill as is being rumoured then even if Frank has nothing out of the promotional side then he’s still going to be making a percentage of Fury’s £50 million. Most promoters it’s 20% I think if you fight on another persons show, given Fury has Arum as well it may not be 20% but even if it’s just 10% that’s 5 million quid.

I’d go as far as to say it may be the only thing keeping the old fella going.

Look, we do what we do best, that's bringing young talent through to winning titles. We don't rely on big names to fill our shows just good quality match ups '

I haven't seen his latest interview but I guarantee it'll be something like this that won't be challenged by IFL or anyone else. The worse show ever televised, quality wise. If BT's budget for this show was anything more than a couple of hundred quid, they're the biggest mugs of all. This makes next weeks Matchroom show look like the Thriller in Manilla. It's not just about the fighters getting a payday, it's supposed to be entertainment. The viewing figures must have been tiny. An average MTK show with no UK TV is way better than this whatever the motivation behind it.

On BT Sport? No wonder they’re matching him with bums. I didn’t realise he was such a huge name

As a Stokie myself, am I being biased in thinking Heaney might get a English Title? Probably not British though

Tyson Fury believed it and even tweeted about it today

Suffice to say the numbers weren't high.

Yeah I think he can do English. Just needs to tighten his defence up. And tuck his chin in !
