Strange one but this fight is listed on Matchrooms website for the undercard of Scott Quigg v Nehomar Cermeno ??

I was looking up for info of Proksa only the other day, wondering what he was doing.

I know he signed an agreement with Matchroom and I think he is based in Essex as well and wondered if that had ran it's course, but it seems he is still featuring.

He looked sensational and then lost his way big time, then took the GGG fight at perhaps his lowest ebb. I assume the money must have been very good.

I think he can still be European champ and be a match for many when he's at his best.

Hall must need the money, he said he was retiring after Saunders and if he does have to come back, then he should not in any circumstance be fighting at Middleweight.

This sounds like a good style match up.

To be fair though, his record was very padded up until he fought Hope. I doubt the GGG money was that great either. He probably doesnt make that much with matchroom as it is as I doubt he sells that many tickets so he took the GGG shot for the opportunity for a world title more than anything.

If he doesn't sell many tickets he's not being promoted properly, there's huge Polish communities across the country, if they promoted him right, he could sell well with them.

True. Has he ever headlined a big show to your knowledge though?

He hasn't and probably never will, but he should be shifting a good number of tickets on the undercard.

I was there in Sheffield when he beat Hope in the rematch safe to say he does sell tickets, just saying.

He definitely looked sensational defeating Sylvester Sebastian .

I agree, it was a spectacular win. He is a very talented boxer. But he has a big mental problem, he tries to blast through everyone in front of him. If he kept boxing with GGG rather then trading, he might have won that fight.
