Bonjourno,

I know Paul Smith has moved down to 160lbs after his defeat to Degale. Does anyone know who or when he is fighting next?

I hear big Sam is on the next allegedly card but I don't think any opponent has been announced?!? Correct me if I am wrong.

Is Andre Dirrell going to drag himself away from Twitter and let us know when he is fighting next?

You boys on here seem to know the latest gossip so any pointers for the above discussion topic will be interesting........

Just realised I am talking about an American (Dirrell) in the 'British and Irish' forum! Just wanted to know when he is fighting next

Up against other Brits I hope?! That will be a 9 month gap since Sexton last fought! Nearly as inactive as David Haye! ha-ha

Be good to see Sexton and Smith back in the ring but I hope the boxing world turns their back on Direll 'the Rat'

Dirrell cant fight until the S6 is over.

In their contracts, that if they withdraw, they have to sit it out unless it's showtime sanctioned.

I never thought he would fight Ward for a minute.

paul smith is gonna shed the lard reveal the old six pack & get a shot at somthing big :!:

Sexton and Rogan will no doubt have average wamr ups but its good both are back. i tend to think the big new guys still have to go through these two before they move up......big ask

Is that definitely true?

Very good work by Showtime, if true

Kessler would seem to be ok, as Bute has signed with Showtime and Kessler/Bute looks like being agreed and on the cards. Do you know if the same rules are in place for Kessler? Would Showtime allow Kessler to have a tune-up, not televised by them, before a clash with Bute?

Interesting stuff.
