Latest boxing crack



This weekends action:

Dave - Friday night 9:00pm

Joe Joyce vs Ian Lewison

Sky Sports Main Event - Saturday night 7:30pm

Ryan Burnett vs Zhanat Zhakiyanov

BT Sport 1/Boxnation - Saturday night 8:30pm

Josh Warrington vs Denis Ceylan
Tyrone Nurse vs Jack Catterall


Pretty decent all in all. Joyce has just about the toughest opponent for a pro debut that any British prospect has had in living memory and speaks volumes of the amount of faith that his promoter David Haye has in his ability and also on that card are pro debuts for highly touted amateur star Willy Hutchinson and former MMA fighter Michael Page

On the Belfast card we've got Sunderland's own Josh Kelly in his 4th pro fight but the fight between James Tennyson and Darren Traynor looks the pick of the undercard on paper. Tyrone McKenna was initially meant to fight Tommy Coyle on this show before the latter pulled out injured, if that fight was on then this probably would have been the best card Matchroom have had on 'regular' Sky this year.

The Leeds card thankfully should be a vast improvement on Warren's last 2 BT shows, which were really disappointing after his first few shows on the channel were a massive hit. Leon Woodstock vs Craig Poxton should also produce fireworks while it lasts and Zelfa Barrett is on the card as well, who I really like the look of but Warren really needs to step up his level of opposition


 
What's that young lad from Sunderland up to?

His name has left me but he has been on a couple of Saturday Eddie Hearn shows

Kelly seems like he has got the tools to go a long way, be good to keep an eye on his journey.

his opponents dont seem to get much better though.

According to Hearn he's made an offer to Ashley Theophane to fight Kelly on the Bellew-Haye undercard. If that fight comes off it's a brilliant opponent for Kelly's 5th pro fight
