I did this thread last week before last Saturday Thanos finger snap. So will do it again
Denzel Bentley - Last boxed in December 2024.
Chris Billam Smith - last boxed April last year. Seem to have ducked a away fight in Germany. Nothing since. I think him vs Yarde could be a cracker.
Ryan Garner - Last boxed July. Seems he could sneak in a world title shot this year but no news.
Karriss Artingstall - last boxed in March, more interested in if there's any conflict with her ex (Lauren Price) and is it blocking her career. Surely Artingstall would be better fit that Fran Hennessy.
Hughie Fury in a British ring. I know he boxed in November but that doesnt count in my books. Will we ever see him again in a meaningful fight.
Dennis McCann - is he serving a ban thats never been made public, or he still waiting for a result (no one really cares anyhow or the outcome)
anyone else?

Has he ever won a meaningful bout?
Probably only against Sam Sexton. Fury more known for his loses and surname.

Yes, the best moment of Hughie Fury career was losing against Parker and brining out one of the moment iconic British interview moments of the YouTube era.

I actually really wanted Hughie to do well. I remember watching his debut on telly & thinking "Wow, this boy has so much poise for his age".
Probably his best performance

Mcann failed due to Masteron and Trenbolone in his system. There is ZERO way either can be in your system by mistake. They are injectable anabolics. Trenbolone is the most toxic steroid there is. He’s a drug cheat. End of.

Tank Davis, got that draw with Roach and it's been nearly a year with nothing official on the cards. The guy is fast running out of career, father time will get him.

I thought there was a big show booked for St Marys stadium. I would imagine garner and billam smith will be on it. Along with Edmonson and Barney Smith.

tommy fletcher.........tall cruiser, fwank was hyping him up as having some atg level power
McCann - Only just recently started appearing on social media again after a long hiatus. he last fought in July 2024 so im presuming he got a 2 year silent ban and somehow its remained silent. Lets see if he is suddenly on a show post July.
Hopie Price - The super prospect from Dave Coldwells gym last boxed October 2023. Jesus - you could recover from a heart and lung transplant in that time let alone a hand injury. So whats been going on?
Alan Babic - This fan favourite was obliterated by Johnny Fisher inside a round in July 2024. Soon be 2 years since we saw The Savage. Personally i liked watching him fight, he always guaranteed a tear up.
CBS - Been MIA almost a year now and barely heard a thing from him.
