It’s a Denzil Browne show, too.
So Mark Bateson has spend years building up Pickles impressive record, only for BIG D to poach him now he's ready for titles.

When did the board start allowing WBF fights again?
I remember a few years ago they said they would only sanction WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, and IBO.
They started creeping back again a couple of years ago, I'm not sure why the board have changed policy.

I read that Paul McCloskey was offered a shot at the ibo title and Eddie said he wouldn't do that, so he retired! Now they seem to be everywhere

Fight Academy are BBBoC licensed and bizarrely the BBBoC have also recently licensed Zebedee Browne.

Most of the budget for this will be going on the main event, especially if they need to bring in an import, I dread to think who Allen will end up fighting.

Boxrec don’t recognise the WBF so seems a waste of paying any sort of sanction fee .

Perry Howe won a Cruiserweight Federation title on a Fightzone card last year so I think this fight it's likely this will be the same.
Apart from Nathan Decastro (who won his on a BIBA show) I don't recall any UK fighter contesting a Foundation title.

This was the lad Howe beat for his title (lost to a debutant two fights prior)
