Seen a few rumours Matchroom are putting on a world title triple header in Monaco on the 12th November, anybody heard who's likely to be on this card?

Looking like
Raushee Warren v Jamie McDonnell WBA Bantamweight title

Jason Sosa v Stephen Smith Paper WBA super feather title

Abraham Murray rematch.

I did hear a rumour that Josh Warrington was out again on 12th of November, but I also got told it was in Munich, so I took it with a pinch of salt.

A card with those three fights would be nice. Each of them are quite competitively matched on paper , and I am particularly interested in Sosa-Smith.

He was meant to be but he's got a christening and a carboot sale that weekend so they've had to postpone

I'm guessing the tickets are exorbetant to make these Monaco shows viable? Surely every other source of income is more or less the same.

Tickets will be pricey but you get free parking for your yacht so swings and roundabouts

Sounds like a good card if those 3 come off, also wouldn't surprise me to see Groves on that card as Kalle Sauerland has said there is a big announcement coming this week for him

Is it PPV ?

Stephen Smith confirmed his fight is on this date in Monte Carlo

€100-€800

I would say tickets are comped mostly and what these punters drop in the casino afterwards is what makes the shows viable

Why Monaco?

Raushee Warren v Jamie Mcdonnell is a fantastic fight for the boxing fanatic.

Hopefully it's on this card. The winner is clear no 2 in the division.

Ortiz-Takam now on the Monaco show, which is looking strong.

Takam was even with peak Povetkin going into the 9th and then gave Parker trouble, so it will be impressive if Ortiz takes him out easily. I do have questions about Ortiz's stamina, and durable Takam is one of the better guys to test it.

Great little show. Close fights but all the Brits have a chance.

I'd make Mcdonnell favourite, Smith will be underdog but I give him a huge chance.

Murray-Abraham is all about how much they've got left in the tank. Personally I still prefer Murray to box at MW.

Very interesting fight.

Ortiz is the dangerman of the heavyweight division.

And just like that Ortiz-Takam is off. Takam will apparently be fighting Duhaupas for the WBC silver title.

Ortiz needs to get moving.

What?! Have they said why?

Garbage. I think Duhaupas is a dark horse in that fight though. He's a big unit and aside from being very durable; He has a pretty good work rate.

I'd rather have seen Ortiz- Takam though.

So there Fuhaupas out of the AJ fight.

He would have been a decent opponent for AJ at this stage.

Be interesting to see who Eddie lines up for him out again on AJ undercard apparently

So now it's

Ortiz-Scott
Murray-Abraham II
J. McDonnell-Solis
Sosa-Smith (my favorite of the bunch)

Pretty nice card there
