Didn't it get granted a license to hold boxing about a year ago? Was expecting lots of bouts (or at least a few) but basically nothing has been hosted there - any reason why? IIRC Bruno used to fight a lot there and it looks a cracking venue for boxing...

Though the same a couple of months back what is the point of getting the license if they arent going to use it?

Saunders fought there in 2012, then nothing since, might be expensive to book.

Yeh, I went when it was on there.
Bug was on and I saw some young kid from Luton, he looked a real talent, think he schooled Dean Bryne (forgive my memory) but I've n I've never seen him since then. Was a real pup at the time. With Graham Earl I think.

Terry Holmes, no idea where he's disappeared to, can't find anything on him.

Might be down to ticket sales, not often a kid with 5 fights takes on a fighter like Byrne and there isn't many shows around him, if he's only got a small fanbase at home selling enough tickets down in London will be difficult.
