The deal's still to be made but yeah it appears close. It'll still be the biggest fight, money-wise, in history.

The endless speculation in the columns and the fever pitch it reaches at times like this are a bit tiresome though !

Just make the darned fight and get them in the ring - albeit 5 or 6 years too late. I think it has less meaning now than it would have had previously, so the hysteria is probably more a collective cry of relief than actually deserved..


Wilder fights Stiverne on Saturday so the USA could finally have a world champ - heaven knows they're crying out for one !! On ability, I fancy Stiverne (hopefully in (5-6) but Wilder does seem to set-up the right-hand windmill by blinding you with the left.

We could use my pad as I've BoxNation, problem is I'll be on IOW !

If I can switch weekends (my weekends, not asking Floyd to switch his weekends for me !) then happy to host.

Pubs unlikely to show it cos it's West coast hrs - card probably starts around 1am !

Basically the other 'champs' in his division should be ashamed of themselves - Cotto should face him or go back to LMW, Quillin vacated rather than face Koborov and had nothing to say when Golovkin's name was mentioned. Andy Lee says he's interested but don't they all - he's more likely to face Saunders in Ireland.

The established boxers flapping their gums about GGG not having proven himself are increasingly in need of better strategies to not fight him.

The whole situation is a sad symptom of the multi-belt charade called international boxing.

I'll be interested to see how Chris Eubank Jr v Dmitry Chudinov (WBA 'interim' middleweight) works out after Eubank's defeat last time out.


I don't know much about Frampton or Fury's opponents, but expect Fury to win easily against some journeyman. Feels like Fury has been around forever and never really had a proper fight. Shame the David Haye thing never happened as that would have been a proper test.

I meant to post this the other day, quite a good piece on the state of boxing and why lots of the fights we want never get made.

Comments at the bottom all seem to be agreeing that it will be a disappointing fight ending in points win for FM.

someone told me that tickets for the big fight are $100,000 each.

I haven't had chance to check but surely that can't be true ?


Not sure who wins Carl Frampton's contest, I don't know the other guy at all (and am also reliably shite on predictions). Unfortunately I'll be in the country again relying on wifi so don't expect to be able to access ITV4 - saw the fight advertised whilst in the Castle last night.


Jean Pascal is fighting Kovalev soon I read, The way Froch handled Pascal some years ago you'd expect Kovalev to do the business.

    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.

    • I would recommend the Dulwich Test and Service centre that used to be in Hindemanns road and then moved to the little Trading Estate off Tyrrel Road. I've used them very happily for nearly 40 years. Paul and Reg Shires.
