Gethin has sustained an ear injury. This PPV under card is looking shaky now unless they can pull summat out that hat.

Thats a massive loss to this undercard, I hope something can be done to make up for it though we are very late in the day.

Scott Harrison?

& there was me thinking that only allegedly lost fights at late notice.


On a serious note thats quite a big fight to fall over!

McDonnell and Swifty Smith confirmed

Would like to see who they are being matched with. I thought swiftly has his licence pulled?

Eddie confirmed them both on twitter in the last hour so I guess he is allowed to fight. Can't see them being matched against anyone decent at this stage.

Carl Froch vs George Groves
Scott Quigg vs Diego Oscar Silva
Rocky Fielding vs Lennox Allen
Anthony Joshua vs Hector Alfredo Avila
Martin Murray vs TBA
Jamie McDonnell vs TBA
Anthony Crolla vs TBA
Stephen Smith vs TBA
Callum Smith vs TBA
Luke Campbell vs TBA
Khalid Yafai vs TBA
Scott Cardle vs TBA


What's the point of all of the name fighter vs TBA/journeyman fights? Awful PPV undercard.

Great card of was just Sky very poor PPV.. Groves v Froch isn't PPV on their own.. Will pay it but not too happy about it.

Brilliant card but poo ppv imo

I'd go with that.

Yes totally agree, and remember the top of the bill is really a BRITISH SUPER MIDDLE title fight between the world's number 2 and somebody scraping in to the top ten - maybe.

Looks like 3 hours of very one sided contests. Nothing to even get inspired about. Laughable compared to US ppv cards. We aren't getting value.

'They' think we are because they don't cost the same as a US PPV, same night though Manny v Rios is on allegedly and that is a bout

It was the most/only competitive fight on the bill

McDonnell still has to go before the board on Monday and they ruled that Smith's contract is still valid, so it may be a bit premature to confirm them. There only in 8 rounders anyway.

glad im going

no way would i have bought that

i will only watch main event live as im going with loads of lads who would have no interest in the other fights

There's a good/balanced write up in Boxing News - though I feel for the boxers who are not happy/active enough I do agree with Mr Warren who says something along the lines of, 'A Leyton Orient player can't just get up and say that they are now a Brentwood player'.

A Leyton Orient player gets paid every week.

Callum Smith is off the card also.

Didn't Paul Smith draw a salary (paid monthly) instead of paid by fight?

Right. But Paul Smith isn't leaving due to that is he - he is leaving because of the issues he has with FW regarding his brother.

That means he can't legally leave then, because there's been no breach of contract.

Didn't mention anything legally at all, especially about Paul Smith. I was pointing out to Palooka, and allegedly apparently, that being a boxer is different to being a footballer.

He ought to try and picket Warrens offices with a donkey jacket and a burning bin, he may get further; a judge won't let him walk out because he's miffed about how Warren treated his brother (or his nan ); Paul may not be arsed about continuing his career in any case, he may have had enough.

He seemed to still retain some aspirations after his last fight. Again I didn't say Paul had the right to leave, I was stating how his case was a little more unique and not the norm.
