Very good line up so far so well done Hearn. Johnson is a Top 20 Heavyweight and Sosnowski and Meehan are decent fringe contenders. Dallas is a bit of a filler but i'd rather see him in it then other Brits like Skelton and Sprott who have already taken part in Prizefighter...i just hope they can add Larry O to it too.

I would urge Hearn to try and add Travis Walker to the line up and maybe other guys like Fres Oquendo, Derric Rossy, Alex Leapai, John McDermott and Siarhei Liakhovich.

McDermott , Rogan also offered aswell as Deontay Wilder who seems well up for it by looks of it.

of those you just suggested id say Leapai is a good shout , think the format would be a good fit for him .

UK against the rest of the world could be good format. McDermott, Rogan, Dallas and Dylian Whyte agisnt Sosnowski, Meehan, Johnson and either Wilder or Leapai.

Saw Wilder comment on twitter , cant see him being in it despite what he said , but id be very interested if he does , wont believe until hes on the plane though

Think white wouldnt be going in with that level of opposition just yet

I think the only thing we can be certain of with a international prizefighter title is the 8 in the promotional shots will be different from the 8 who are in the ring before the first fight.

Yep and replaced by people like Lucian Bot , Konstantin Airich and Evgeny Orlov

Airich has gone on to big things since then, he has managed to get a decent ranking. He is fighting Solis this weekend for some tinpot title i think. Apparently they didnt even check all the fighters would be allowed in the country before they announced the line up.

I'm a huge Deontay supporter and know he has a great team behind him, even though i'd be shocked they'd allow him to take part it would be awesome to have the 'future world champ' take part in it.

Deontay Wilder ‏@BronzeBomber

Airich isnt great , watch him fight , ive seen hes climbed the rankings but ill guess hes beat substandard opponents , i think he would be a good opponent for the likes of price and fury due to his ranking as either would beat him with ease .

I agree it would be pretty cool if he entered , ive never seen him box live , only on youtube clips , i think from what ive seen this could be a tough challenge for him but if he loses in any of the fights he can always brush it off and say well it was only a 3 rounder so not a big deal , hes not fought anyone too great so the likes of sosnowski would be tests for him , we would know a bit more about his level .

Like to see David Tua in the 3x3 format,I think he would be a beast.

Pajkic Maybe
I'd give Rogan a shot to

Was gonna say "2gunz" Barrett but he's getting $200,000 to fight shane cameron.


Shot in the dark in Oliver McCall maybe?

The board won't licence anyone over 40 mate.

They would but take it on a case by case basis, just not McCall due to his failed MOR scan.

But then got knocked out by Michael Grant in his last fight back home in a fight which he was winning until Grant landed a Hail Mary knowing he was badly behind on the cards.... As for the first four who have been announced for the International
Sosnosweski: Former European Heavyweight Champion got a win over Danny Williams, knocked out by Vitali K. Looking to rebuild after being held to a draw by Zack Page.

Johnson former World title challenger did not get knocked out by Vitali K
Meehan former World title challenger lost to Ruslan Chagaev, former Commonwealth champion (I think) got knocked out by Danny Williams.
Dallas. Looking to rebuild and get an eliminator shot at the British title after getting bombed out by David Price.

It looks very interesting when you look at it.

dont book your ticket for this lineup just yet.

as before this is just to boost sales early

johnson will almost certainly not be in it

remember these wise words !!!!!

and for Dallas read Belshaw

Page is worth a shout, no? He's beaten and drew against two of the entrants.

P.S I think I've worded that like a spaff.
