BoxRec

Has Colin now got to go to Italy for the Branco fight, Boxing News say yes and its on the Italian boxrec schedule, thought it was at Dagenham on May 16th. Real kick in the teeth for Lynes, he is about as close as he has ever been to a proper title shot and a win at home may have sealed a crack somewhere along the line.

Now we are sweating on those judges over there to give him a fair crack, makes it a much closer fight in my mind unfortunately

Harry what do you know - your in with Lynes, is he ok with this not too disappointed?

colin has to go to italy 16th may either turin or milan matchroom having narrowly missed out on purse bids. This was always a possibility as the italians are reknown for overbidding. I believe sky will still televise. As for the effect on the outcome i think only if its close will branco have an advantage. Colin still wins for me and dont rule out the late stoppage (thats where my money will be) then hopefully a deserved world title shot
