Any news, or even rumours on who their opponents are yet?
Less than four weeks away now and it all seems a bit strange that there's no announcements.
Thanks

In his post event chat with Kugan on Saturday night, Frank said opponents would be announced today.

Ridiculous that Frank said in their press conference the opponents would be announced the following day. Not expecting anything even remotely challenging

I've seen Degale is fighting TBA and Selby will be fighting TBC.

Caleb Truax is boring, but it's a respectable match up at least.
Nathaniel May is a bit of a joke, 18-1 compiled entirely in Western Australia and he gets a WT shot ?!

Neither of them should be the main event.

Still waiting for Selby but he Tweeted stating he has known for a few weeks and will be announced today.

Eduardo Ramirez (20-0-3) for Selby - did see Selby said he’s known the opponent for 3 weeks.

I can see why Hearn didn’t want to pay for De Gale’s tune up fight now to be fair.

Poor.
Put when fights are announced with no opponents for the home fights you can't be optimistic.
Just hope for better next year. Selby will get a decent fight next anyway.

Do we have different ABC governing bodies for unannounced opponents now?

Yeah at least we know 2018 should be a good year for Selby, opponents wise. Can't say the same for DeGale though, just got to hope the loser of the Eubank Groves fight is snapped up for the summer & then goes onto fight the winner of it back end of the year (which I doubt will happen tbh)

Unlikely when you have -
FW just sued Eubank.
Groves/De Gale does more £££ On Sky.
Callum Smith - Matchroom
Eubank v De Gale at best would be ITV.

Yep. I think DeGale will have a terrible year if he signs a promotional contract with Warren. Probably end up defending against the likes of Gavril after he loses the rematch with Benavidez
