When does Bradley Pryce get a WBO shot?

Jennings is fighting for the WBO welter title on Sat, vs Cotto. Nicky Cook challenged for a WBO title at 2 weights, losing at feather, winning at super feather. Arthur lost his title to Cook. Mitchell is in a WBO elim vs Foster Jr. Lockett fought Pavlik in a brutal beatdown, because he was WBO mandatory.
Anyway, when does WBO light middle #5 contender Bradley Pryce get his WBO title shot? Obviously, like the others he's another Warren fighter who hasn't stepped in world class yet has a rating. Will Pryce go to Germany and fight Serguy Dzinzriuk, ever?
I know, I know, there are guys above Pryce. However, can anyone see exciting Yank TV fighters like Kirkland or Angulo going over? Will WBO Interim champ Paul Williams go to Germany, when he can fight Winky Wright on HBO? Methinks not, unless he loses to Wright. In reality there aren't that many above Pryce that will take the shot - IMO.
Will we see Dzinziruk v Pryce sooner or later? Is there some other plan instead? I'd be interested to know.

I think the plan with Bradley is to try and get him beat by another FW fighter before he defects to Calzaghe promotions.
Just a theory.

He has to get past Hall first and don't think that is a certainty at all, would not be surprised to see Hall get him out of there. He has been held up by various things in the past year, by the time they get in the ring he will have fought once in 15 months as opposed to 4 or 5 for Hall.
Hall got blasted out by concepcion but that kid has always been able to bang and don't think Hall's chin is a desperate problem.
He has a good work rate and this could be a fight of the year candidate for British guys I reckon.
Edge Pryce but with no certainty at all

Various things ?
Can only think there's one reason and I really feel for Bradley.
That's because he's trained by Enzo.
Caught up in the wreckage of Joe's bitter battle with Wazza.
DP may not be wide of the mark.

Didn't he mess up his own travel plans, for his U.S. fight, with his visa problems?

I think you'll find his Promotor was fully aware of Bradley's record before the fight.
In case you missed it as well that was BEFORE the Warren / Calzaghe split.

I will always have a soft spot for Bsradley Pryce.He has been matched proper tough and has got better and better and really deserves his chance to earn some big pay days. my favourite victory of his -stopping Antony Small.His best fight -his absolute tear up at York Hall many moons ago with Gavin Down.What a fight that was!!

Now then Lennox, how you doin mate ?
Aah memories - Gav's fight was a beaut !
I loved Small's audition for a place in the Four Tops after Bradley caught him.
How anyone could call that a poor stoppage is beyond me.
I'm the same as you Lennox about Bradley.
I am convinced that if it had not been for the Calzaghe / Warren affair that Bradley would have fought for the WBO before now.
I hope he gets his chance.
No one can say he hasn't earned the right.

Who would be the FW candidate to beat him?

Hi Twenty six
I am doing very well thanks.I hope this reply finds you in fine form as well.
Antony Small was gone -no questions asked.The referee just stopped him from taking one or two more shots and going over, that's all.As the arena emptied I moved closer to the action -and he was gone -I just can't see how he can grumble about that stoppage.Fantasy land.
Hopefully, it has been resolved now as Enzo is still fighting for Sports Network, so Bradley can earn a shot/big payday sooner rather than later.
All the best to you and ryan and everyone.

Hall, McDonagh, Jennings pretty much beat him. Jennings has already.

Yeah but Pryce is a light middle and Jennings beat him at welter...

Teddy,
I think Pryce will beat Hall.
I also think Pryce would beat McDonagh.
The Jennings rematch would never happen - Pryce wouldn't go down a weight, and Mikey wouldn't come up.
Rematch with Small ?

Everyone is entitled to there opinion mate, but i take Hall to beat him even though he is a little bully and would love to see him blasted out I.E Concepcion. McDonagh is the most un-inspiring fighter for a long time. He would give Pryce a good fight though unless he sh*ts himself ala the Wayne Alexander fight.

Thomas McDonagh has already beaten Pryce...in a quite convincing fashion.

So, Warren knew he wasn't going to be able to fight on that bill?

That was a part of my point.
