Frank’s won purse bids for this for the vacant European title.

I’d be amazed if it actually happens given Buatsi has the Pascal final eliminator as an option.

No way does Buatsi take this option.


What was the bid?

The fact Buatsi's team didn't tell EBU they don't want, means they MIGHT consider it.

Not sure what the bid was. Eddie’s saying they didn’t bid as they have other plans. Frank will now be implying it hat Buatsi didn’t fancy it against Johnson.

I guess there’s no harm in being in there in case a crazy bid comes in for it.

Who's the next available contender? Would be good for Callum to get this strap

As potential fights go Johnson v Buatsi is a possibility of a an unlikelihood :roll:

Shame, because it's a meaningful title and a great match up.

callum's been dreadful his last 2 fights and is what 37 now? he almost lost to that 70 year old looking uzeb dude he fought last time and was badly hurt by the patsy he fought before that. i think he's possibly well past it and would be taken out easily by buatsi

at this rate he would've lost to mikhalkin

No big(ish) name in their right mind would schedule a fight with Johnson now.

Really entertaining, talented fighter and seems a nice bloke. When your entire career is full of inactivity and pullouts, it's likely there are some underlying issues that bouncing between promoters could not solve.

callum got rocked badly in one of his last fights yea he has power but even so cant see why buatsi bothers with that fight risk and reward, he should fight joe smith
