Matchroom bidding on a Davies fight? Oooo

Sandor’s withdrawn from the purse bid.

They offered the Davies fight to Giyasov instead who rejected it due to not being able to make the weight so next in-line will be Teofimo if he wins on Saturday.

Can’t see Teo taking the fight…

For me Davies is domestic title standard at best
