Shame, but family is first for sure.

Let's hope Mike Tyson when doing the draw tonight announces he's the stand in. :TU:

Very sad for Sprotty and his family. Obviously his first concerns have to be with his family but with that on his mind he wouldnt be able to give 100% anyway. I am beginning to think AH has a chance after all, especially if Williams is overweight and hasnt got enough heart. We all know how Williams can be sometimes.

Its a Shame for Sprott considering the circumstances...hopefully he can still fight JOHN RUIZ in November as that's a far more important Fight that if he wins can lead to a Fight with David Haye for the WBA Heavyweight Title.

I reckon if John McDermott loses tonite without getting Knocked out or cut he may throw in his Hat as there's pretty much no way back left for him

Apart from that, there isn't any other Heavyweight left in Britain who would be available and be as competitive which leads to looking to America.

Being REALISTIC....here are a couple of guys who are not well known but would probably be willing to take part at such short notice

Demetrice King http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?hu ... &cat=boxer

Joey Abell http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?hu ... &cat=boxer

Chisora, Burton - would be acceptable. I wonder if Sexton thinks he could do this and fight Rogan in november.
