Maybe sparring? I recall gervais fighting with frank Maloney in his corner

Have to say I would have absolutely zero interest in seeing it.

It will be with head guards and 16 ouncer's probably.

Depending who was in it I'm sure they could make it interesting enough to be worth a watch.

Id like to think the prize money would be for charity after all 'Celebrity's' already have 'job's'

Can see this have some of the TOWIE people in it and Joey Barton. haha

The point is no Bbbc promoter are allowed to have any think to do un licensed boxing ,May be frank Maloney can answer as i believe the board want happy when he done it,If it is allowed i can see other promoters doing it .

Didn't realise the rules regarding promoters etc, makes sense i suppose.
If it was for Charity and made good ££'s then as far as I'm concerned, Make it happen.

If its to try and fill the pockets of 10th rate celebrity's then get it to fornicate!

Eddie doesnt have a promoters licence at the moment though does he. At least he didnt a short while ago.

Originally was mark wright v Barton on boxing ring for charity! Don't see harm in that think it get good viewing figures. Think celeb prizefighter just an idea!

interesting. dont you need "another" BBBoC licence for three years before you can one of their promoters licence?

I was going to apply but went for a BUI (Irish) one this week instead because of this.

After 1 year you can apply to hold a promoters Licence

You are right Slap, Buncey is a giant of a man.

I like Kerr v Smith - that would be a good fight.

How about Steve Lillis v Mick Hennessy?

Ed Robinson (ex-fighter too) v Ben Shephard (who was pretty decent in the last celebrity fight I saw him in - he gave yer man Lemar a right pasting and nearly stopped him) - good fight!

I like it, but Lillis has the footwork to nullify! Kevin Francis v Big Mick?

But what about the uberclassic - Wazza v Bazza!

I reckon Mick would be feisty enough, him and Lillis could be a good matchup I think.

Wazza v Bazza - no chance of that happening!

You need a licence in another catogory for 3 years for a managers licence for a promoters licence no i know two guys personally who have got promoters licences as there first one

or even Wazza Jnr v Bazza Jnr. Or Wazza Jnrs (tag team) v Bazza Jnr!

I really hope this doesn't happen...not a massive fan of Prizefighter at the best of times but this 'celebrity' nonsense would just cheapen the whole thing.
A bunch of nobodies from Hollyoaks and that Only Way is Essex rubbish? No thanks.

I just don't think boxing needs this right now.

Amen brother.

Would maybe open up prizefighter to a wider audience, if people watch and enjoy it with their favourite dodgy celebs in it then id imagine they would be more likely to watch again in the future.

I cant say id be looking forward to this happening but also cant deny that id sky plus it and watch it at least 'x2' speed.
