Fwank has announced it today. No news of the u/c but a tantalising mention of a major "all-british championship clash". Eubank jr vs Billie Joe maybe ?

Eubank Jr vs BJS was my first thought, can't think of another big British clash that Frank can put on tbh.

To be honest I think at this point I would be more interested in Saunders v Eubank despite it being a bit of a mismatch

Fury/Chisora was mediocre back when it was originally scheduled, 3000 years ago. It hasn't become any more interesting since.

If BJS - Eubank is on the undercard
plus some other good fights then I will get behind the card - if not I'm not to bothered but will watch

Eubank is down for the Liverpool bill which if my memory serves me is the 25th October. So that means he fights on this bill 4 week later. Now if his opponent is the usual Latvian suspect then that is feasible otherwise he will have to come through cut free for what would be his biggest fight.

I don't think Eubank - BJS is a mismatch, i would like to see Eubank in with John Ryder, if he did a job on Ryder he would probably beat BJS, close fight with Ryder and BJS fight would be close as well, if Ryder exposed Eubank then BJS fight would never happen.

As for Fury fight, not really interested in it TBH. Think Fury will still win, interesting it's at the excel, maybe Phones wasn't avaible or they didn't think it would sell well.

Be stupid from team Eubank if they did take this fight, the lad needs a step up or 2 1st.

I think Ryder would beat him comfortably. Ryder isn't that far away from Saunders, if at all ( as you alluded to )

Fury/Chisora is just going over old ground for Tyson. He says it like it is, Chisora is a high level gatekeeper, no need for him to fight him again. Fury will go in hugely undercooked for a title fight, especially if its Wlad, if he lands it after this one.
Still yet to see him in with a top level heavy.

Chisora is a top level heavy and a good preparatory fight for Fury.

He's already beaten him though and that was when he was less experienced and in worse shape. Chisora is a gatekeeper as Lily said. He's never beating the likes of Pulev, Haye, Povetkin, etc, so it's a pointless fight IMO.

With the way things has been going for Tyson at the minute , i wouldn't wanna be the man that faces him , an i wouldn't be surprised if big fury doesn't starch dell boy in quick time to

He isn't, he got smashed by two top level heavies.

Gatekeeper.

Only in the HW division can you be in the top 10 and be called a gatekeeper

Fury doesn't have the one shot power to starch Del early, no mater how frustrated he is...

Borin hellfire

Why put the fight on again ?

I look forward to the 25 press conferences and 40 TV specials on this fight.

:zzz

I have absolutely no interest in this anymore,and i wonder how ticket sales will go for the rescheduled show.

Manufactured rankings. I suspect more than ten heavyweights could beat him.

Probably with a lot of help from Buglioni and Keane, plus it's not even half the size of The MEN.

Maybe Walsh-Sykes is more likely what the big tease has in mind?

More than that surely, even though it's been a long drawn out affair they will easily do 10k with a decent undercard.

What was the crowd like there ? I wondered about that, watched it on the TV and thought at times the big venue looked sparsely filled but it can often be like that until the main event.
