Looks like Hennessey has won the purse bid http://www.livefight.com/news.php?news_ ... =2013&m=07 . Don't know if it's been covered or missed with all the Haye v Fury excitement.

From Galahads Twitter:
"Barry Awad ‏@KidGalahad90 7h
@CraigBeats fighting jazza for British title in September.
Details "


Hope its actually going to take place this time. Its a fight I've been wanting to happen for a while between two exciting young british super bantamweights.

I expect a close fight but I honestly think Galahad will be too slick for Jazza. My only worry would be that Galahad isn't averse to getting a little slack and when he does he tends to cop a shot or two, and whilst I am not entirely sure Dickens can stop him, I do think he is more than capable of dropping him.

How do people see this fight going? Also I don't know how the promotion split is working, etc but do you see any chance this gets on the Haye undercard? Probably no chance, just wishful thinking.

With Burns and Brook also looking at decent fights in September, its shaping to be a nice start to the year.

If he does put it on the Haye undercard that'll probably be curtains for the Ch5 deal....

I film interview indicated a 50/50 undercard split with match room and Hennessey fighters so it looks promising! As has been said, a proper fight for an undercard.

I noticed SKY Sports added this piece about Kid Galahad to their website the other day:

Maybe trying to raise his profile a bit more before adding him to the undercard?

It's a weekly series we're doing on prospects. Callum Smith was the week before. Also featured Simmons, Etches and Buglioni. More to come too.
