just saw this tweet from fast car eddie..any ideas?

Eddie Hearn ‏@EddieHearn 33m
We will announce a major new signing on Tuesday 12.30pm at the Intercontinental Hotel on Park Lane. Big times for British boxing @SkySports

Completely speculating here - Luke Campbell?

Other speculation - Scott Quigg?

Not sure if there is another fighter who have been on the shelf for a bit that I would consider major (e.g. Kevin Mitchell).

What about some sort of deal with David Haye? to get him back on Sky?

What is happening with Anthony Joshua? He hangs around with Booth and Haye quite a bit and it is based in the Intercontinental Hotel which they are associated with.

Kevin Mitchell hasn't been announced yet it's probably him


I wonder who Franks 2 big signings are getting announced in the next 2 weeks

If i had to guess it would be Haye on a George Groves type deal or big Josh just because eddies stable lacks a Heavy weight...

Luke Campbell

He tweeted the other day about this major new signing keeping him up negioating his contract till gone midnight.

Doubt Mitchell fits the bill as 'major', got to be an olympian or Quigg imo.

Fred Evans

Chris Hoy.

Richard The Secret Williams

Matchroom really do need a top Heavyweight to add to their stable of fighters - not many of them about though

Joshua would be ideal but I don't think he'll turn pro yet

Personally I think with Channel 5 saying they may no longer be showing boxing on terrestial TV - Tyson Fury should be looking at jumping ship and signing with Matchroom - stranger things have happened and it would certainly be good for Matchroom , Sky and Fury with regular exposure and bigger fights on the horizon - please note these are my thoughts are not anything i've heard "on the grapevine" lol

anything is better than sky

I know they are showing the fight tomorrow. With Fury moving towards a world title shot and Matchroom needing a top heavy (backed up with the monopoly Sky deal) it could be a win-win for all expect Hennessy of course.

What happens after tomorrow is anyone's guess but maybe it will largely depend on viewing figures. Obvioulsy I'm talking hypothetically :)

Will Hennessy struggle to get another TV deal if Channel 5 pull the plug - Would Fury stick around (personally I can't see it)

I'm guessing Luke Campbell, Luke tweeted something about making a big decision so I'm putting 2 and 2 together...

Del boy's been griping about his current paymaster and is only on a fight-to-fight deal as it stands so maybe Finchleys greatest heavy since the halcyon days of Roman Greenberg could be jumping ship?

It will be Mr D Chisora

I know Eddie would be keen on a Harrison Chisora bout and he needs a heavyweight.

We'll see. Think Cambell will go with Goldenboy but could be wrong either way I blame George Groves.

Luke campbell or scott quigg is my guess.

Quigg is too good of a talent to be sitting around, he needs to get something sorted soon

& also, this.

I'd be more impressed if Matchroom secured more dates on Sky as their boxing output is about one show every full moon.

Have you met Chris Hoy when he was stood in a 1ft 2inch deep hole without realising he was stood in a hole or something?
