Do you think Sky TV would invest if not?

will this be at heavyweight?

Couldn't give a solitary fukk

Light heavy with the sound of it and Rio has said its only 1 fight.

Eddie Hearn has said Ferdinand has been nieve so im suspecting its not on one of his shows.

There are a few in February that are on Sky TV

Nothing as yet Tweeted by Ferdinand but info was on Talksport this afternoon.

Who's he going to fight? Zlatan?

Nobody can box on Sky without Camp Eddie ok'ing it.

He'd get pulverised, I'm sure Zlatan's a black belt in some Jackie Chan shite.

I’d watch Ferdinand-Fournier.

Can be called ‘Battle of the Bullshit’

i have nothing against rio having a go at boxing its most likely a personal thing for him to see if he can hack it rather than a career it's not about money either as he's minted but it should be a well down the bill or on a small hall fight .

Fournier would be an ideal opponent, a genuine competitive fight without fear of someone getting hurt.

Of course it should be a white collar event.

Ill have more respect for rio if he fights someone and gets beat rather than fighting a carefully selected opponent as with Flintoff and beats him over 4 rounds on points.

As this is only a one off fight they are going to match him with a selected boxer who has very limited talent, but imo thats just a school yard bully going to work on someone inferior.

Of course Rio wants to win his one off fight but I just hope he actually fights someone with a heartbeat and either beats him sportsmanly or gets beat himself in a decent scrap.

Hope his technique has improved from them dreadful vids a few months ago

Against a carefully selected opponent with a very flattering record, probably from Oklahoma.
