appears to be on for free, or at least the early part. Frank Arnold comeback fight (a Tunde managed fighter) after getting absolutely sparked by a journeyman last year on BT Sport.

Darren Tetley fighting too.

https://boxrec.com/en/event/883550

Points win for Arnold in comeback fight.

Tunde on commentary.

A random 13 and 0 HW Nelson Hysa is fighting, York Hall via Albania, who purports to be the Albanian HW Champion for 21 years.

He's only been a pro 1 year so doing well.

If you don't have a 39 year old 21-times champ on the card, is it even boxing?

oh my that suit

very "jazzy" isn't it. Possibly too jazzy.

this woman's fight has been toe to toe, enjoyed it. Tunde and the female commentator are good.

really good debut from O'Keefe, got Kevin Mitchell training her too. Her opponent was tough as teak.

Archie Sharp up next over 8 rounds, looking to go 24 and 0

Denzell Bentley was doing some comms, now Spencer Fearon here. Give Denzel his due he seems to support all the York Hall cards, come across well too.

archie sharp so pointless

im more interested in seeing that arnie kid who won by stoppage again than archie

you're just jealous cos you don't have the WBO Global title.

you might actually have one tbf, they bang em out willy nilly.

jokes aside I get what you mean, he's been a pro 8 years, it does need to step up doesn't it.

interim wbo global champion in recess

do you think these cards make money? there are loads of fights on them. are tickets expensive? be interested in anyone who has insight into how these cards work practically and financially.

on a tangent, reading Boxing News this week and Devin Haney saying he made zero money for his first 18 fights.

the only title in town.

the Albanian heavyweight on the card is the WBC CISBB Champ. He won it when it became vacant which is a surprise as people queue up to fight for the CISBB title.

it makes sense when you hear about guys either fighting for free or having to even pay for a fight. i dont see how else many of these cards could be put on otherwise

yeah. You can see why some people go journeymen, it's one of the few reliable income methods in the sport isn't it.

ya and obviously being a journeyman is a hard job, but who is really winning in the end. the 10-0 kid who wins for free, or the journeyman who gets paid to lose?

julio showing in flashes that he can fight some, but for the most part a risk minimizaton effort. boring sharpe points wins it looks like

you were right.

so far the gamest opponent has been the lithuanian woman, she was actually fighting to win and made the rounds competitive

agreed, throwing to the last bell, she's been brought over a few times for that reason

whale - tetley is moderately interesting on paper though, hopefully that gives us something

nice for Herol Graham to get a mention by the MC as he's ringside.

this Navid Iran is an BIBA fighter. I've seen him before
