Monte-Carlo showdown - 30 November 2019

[Ruthless-RKO]

Eddie Hearn and the Casino de Monte-Carlo are delighted to announce the Monte-Carlo Boxing Showdown, a night of World Championship Boxing, will take place in the heart of the prestigious Casino de Monte-Carlo on Saturday November 30, shown live on Sky Sports in the UK and DAZN in the US.



Matchroom Boxing return to Monaco after another thrilling night of title action in the Principality last year where Kal Yafai successfully defended his WBA World Super-Flyweight crown against Israel Gonzalez, Michael Hunter downed Heavyweight giant Alexander Ustinov to claim the WBA International title and Russian great Denis Lebedev fought his final contest, outpointing America’s Mike Wilson.

Dmitry Bivol was the star of the 2017 show as he provided one of the KO’s of the year in destroying Trent Broadhurst inside a round of his first WBA World Light-Heavyweight title defence. Scott Quigg starred with a sixth round KO of Oleg Yefimovich, McDonnell and Solis met in a rematch and European Heavyweight champion Agit Kabayel saw off Dereck Chisora.

Promoter Eddie Hearn said: “I’m delighted to return to Monaco on November 30th for another night of World Championship boxing. The event has become an important date on the Monaco sports and entertainment calendar and fighters, media, broadcasters and fans all love the experience. We will announce the fight line up shortly with a real international flavour of talent looking to collect those World Championship belts.”

Pascal Camia, Executive Vice President, Gaming Operations adds : “The Casino de Monte-Carlo and Matchroom Boxing once again create a prestigious event dedicated to premium guests, confirming one more time that Monaco is the most exclusive gaming destination in Europe. High-class entertainment, bespoke events and memorable moments are proposed all year long by the Casino de Monte-Carlo to its demanding clientele. Much more than championships, the Monte-Carlo Boxing Showdown promises to be a thrilling show celebrating the Great Art of gaming and the Great Art of boxing in an outstanding setting.”

Announcements on the line-up and the ticket details for November 30 will be made soon.

A great atmosphere guaranteed

That time again..

I don't mind these cards. Matchroom say it's that one time of year, it's a posh event. They all wear tuxedos. It all looks elegant. Probably like less than 100 people there as well.

Quigg, Yafai, Chisora, McDonnell have been the type of British boxers they tend to use at these events. We see international boxers. Recently, Hunter, Bivol, Lebedev to name a few.

I wonder wh we'll get this time. I wonder if we'll get a world title fight. Hearn has got quite a number of HW's under his stable. He should get a few them out..

Fanlong Meng has only fought once this year since he last appeared in Monaco. Could get him there again.

We generally see 3 or 4 name fighters on the card.

Why post about a boxing event where not only have no matches been announced yet, but no boxers either?

Highlights from the last two years have been all the pundits shitting on Yeleussinov, Dereck Chisora getting beaten in a stinker and...…..um, help me out.

[MightyWarrior]

Sounds fantastic will be a great atmosphere, even if there aren’t any fights, I’m sure it will still be a great night out. In fact it will probably be more entertaining if he doesn’t actually put any fights on

Because it’s a boxing forum?

You didn’t need to comment. You should have waited til a fight was announced,

You’re right. We never get any good boxing fights there. Hunter vs. Ustinov last year was pretty good, because it was a small HW beating the crap out of a 300 pound HW.

Yafai’s defence last year was poor. Many had him losing that one.

A lot of Matchroom fighters have either just fought or already scheduled either in the UK or US.

Paynard Benn #1 was a cracker!
If you weren't laughing your arse off when Paynard dropped Benn, then might I suggest you get more beersies in

[jameswilson]

It’s often a chance to get the non ticket sellers in a fight that’s a tough sell.

I’d imagine Scott Quigg and Callum Johnson May be on the card,

It was a great scrap. It was also in the York fornicating Hall.

Prick.

[Floyd the snake]

Can imagine a McDonnell brother on .

[jameswilson]

In fact i think Hughie Fury will be on here. Unless his deal with Matchroom was a ‘if you don’t win that’s it ‘ jobbie.

You’ll get 1 World Title and 1 HW at least on the card.

Possibly the Chinese HW.

Yh he missed out last year didn’t he.

[keirw]

These cards are usually decent, Hearn can put good British fighters who don't sell many tickets on them and we also see some decent international fighters on these shows too.

Not sure it is worth announcing without any fights signed for it though
