It is actually a good idea. If fights have to be behind closed doors it's as good a location as any, and will massively save on venue costs...

Won't suit a lot of people but could brighten people's lives up a bit at the moment .
Would welcome it myself , but if we get a big second wave of this it could put a stop to everything again .

There would have to have been a decade long neuclear winter before Harper vs Jonas looked appealing

Works for me. I reckon the bookies will cock the odds up royally and give Jonas half a chance.

Last time I read the Daily Doom (Mail) they were selling sheepskin slippers and stairlifts before the sports pages, let's face the facts that it's a paper designed to frighten pensioners into an early coffin.
I can just imagine some poor old sod in his allotment popping his head over the fence with Oliver Holt himself dressed as the grim reaper at ringside...
When has boxing ever been safe for God sake, it's the most dangerous sport on Earth next to the fella's who put their heads in Lion's mouths at the circus ...
Will Lion tamers be wearing dust masks in July?
Let's keep boxing where it belongs and leave Eddies back garden for BBQ's and carrots

I suppose Sky are pushing him to put any crap on so they can unfreeze subscriptions.

If they put this shite on they’ll need to worry more about being responsible for another Jones Town far in less a few subs getting binned
