Nice one jomothepure :D

Hes a very respectable opponent considering its late notice

I've just noticed that Sky are saying the fight is on on October 21st and not the 14th which is when Haye-Hobson was scheduled, there is also no mention of the venue (is it still at Huddy?)

Not a bad replacement but he's a bit chinny which won't do him much good when he's fighting Haye.

Will be interesting to see what sort of welcome Haye gets in Huddersfield

His stoppage loss against Gurov was on a bad cut, but he has been stopped twice late on

How is that possible?

1 Hobson holds the belts

2 Rossitto is not British

Doubt it will be your normal friendly Yorkshire welcome.

Especially because I will be there.

For a week's notice that's not too bad at all....

Could certainly be worse. Be interesting to see what sort of shape David 'Wheels of Steel' Haye is in. Still hope the Hobson fight happens at some point, but I'm less certain of that every day.

I've seen far worse at late notice, hell I've seen defences by British 'world' champs against worse opposition.

If Haye wins Euro he could fight Hobson in New Year for it.
Obviously Hobson will need to make a defence in meantime.
Who would he fight?

Yeah he looks like one of those typical Johnny Nelson WBO challengers for a start...
