The schedule says Coyle is contesting the vacant English Lightweight title. If he's moving upto 10st maybe he can fight a certain Mr Woodhouse. Some good looking fights lined up for VIP boxing.

whos josh warrington fighting and for title over 10 rounds steve

Michael Rambulatsa the tough south african who just stopped ross burkinshaw

What's the script with Gooding?? Not a lot of 17-0 guys get released from contract. Does he not sell a lot of tickets or what? Av only saw him 3 or 4 times but he looked very decent.

XRGCX ,

Just not enougth dates to keep him working , also if he got into a title position would struggle to get him on a show as Maloney only got 5 dates and everyone has to be David Price topping.

Best that he was released so we can get him work with other promoters and hopefully a new promotional deal when he becomes a champion.

PS - Sign of the times this mate , going to see a lot of decent boxers disapointed - at least with VIP we can keep him busy waiting for an opportunity

Good on you mate. Does he know what weight he's going to stay at? He showed a little bit more power at Light Middle so that maybe could be his weight. Get him in with Kris Carslaw for a celtic or masters title. Am sure both would fancy their chances. Maxwell and Matty Hall also good fights for him

that ship has sailed with tommy, not really got any interest in it, but if he moves up a weight and theres something decent worth doing never say never

Looking forward to the Flannigan - James fight, hoping he can bring the title back to Cov

i wished the TERRY FLANNIGAN v troy james english title fight was on tv, saw troy a few times and looks a good kid and ive read alot of positive things flannigan. very even fight id like to hav seen
