He's been fighting no marks since the Tete defeat.

Anyone know his plans? Who is he targeting?

You'd think any UK based BW would make a move for ZZ. FrWa's Tete looks most likely but an avenue Butler should enquire about.

The Mcdonnell fight is close to being made by all accounts. You worry about the size difference. Butler looks small at the weight.
I'd personally favour Mcdonnell if the fight materialises.

Ryan Burnett has been calling him out.

Butler got a complete lesson off Tete. Didn't know what to do with him then got despatched by a brutal knockout. I don't think it's any coincidence he's been threading water (sorry). That fight would've done a hell of a lot of psychological damage.

He's good to watch and a talented little fighter but BN went right over the score bumming him up!

I know he says he struggled to make Super flyweight but I just feel like hes too small to make any sort of impact at Bantam.Most of the champions are bigger than him and its a real disadvantage for him

Haskins would be a good fight. Awkward but winnable. 50/50 fight I reckon.

Even at super fly I'd strongly fancy Gonzalez, Cuadras and Inoue to beat him comfortably. Perhaps even Kal Yafai as well.

Most Tesco Joe fighters are matched carefully so Tesco Joe can boast about his winning run.

Butlers team have offered a good pay day to ZZ for the fight

I can very easily see that fight in the MEN with Hatton involved heavily in the promotion.

Butler is fast and a nice boxer, I fancy ZZ he's powerful and strong and not sure butler could hold him off

I'm sure Eddie said in 1 of his interviews that they've accepted a good offer from frank for the mcdonnell fight.

Then McDonnell got ordered to rematch Solis, so unless there's step-aside money, Butler won't happen next! Unfortunately for Jamie Mac.

Yeah Butler might be a guy that McDonnell could beat and actually deserve the decision against. Unlike 3 of his last 4 fights.

Didn't see the Kameda fights but majority of people thought he won both.

Majority of British people maybe. Kameda beat him twice.

First Kameda fight was 50-50, a point either way, thought he clearly beat Kameda in the rematch, thought Solis beat him though...

Majority of British people had Solis beating him.

Solis decision was a bad one but the kameda wins were deserved particularly the second fight
