Shame for Burnett, especially in that manner. Taylor is a class act, I see him beating Prograis in the final, although I do rate the New Orleans banger.

If he's gone skint there's plenty of proper fights out there for him surely.....?
Freak fights always sell well. The rules won't be confirmed until close to the date. It'll be boxing, possibly with slightly smaller gloves, but as usual, he won't countenance a fight under any rules but his own.
Is Mayweather jnr the most unendearing sportsman of all time? I can't stand the bloke and his terrible legacy, he was a talent but he's not the fighter that his record suggests.
Oleksandr Usyk v Tony Bellew (WBC, IBF, WBA & WBO world cruiserweight titles)
Undercard:
Anthony Crolla v Daud Yordan (lightweight)
Ricky Burns v Scott Cardle (lightweight)
Josh Kelly v Walter Castillo (welterweight)
Dave Allen v Ariel Esteban Bracamonte (heavyweight)
Sam Hyde v Richard Riakporhe (cruiserweight)
Usyk by round ten, Bellew is in the shape of his life and will no doubt give everything, but he's never been in with anything like this before. Bellew is probably the seventh or eighth best cruiser in the world, Usyk is head and shoulders above them all.
Dave Allen fighting another nobody. I love the bloke but at some point he has to step it up, just a notch at a time, but he has to face better than fat Cruisers masquerading as Heavyweights.
He's made himself really popular though, they can't put him against anyone half decent as he will lose. Guess they will build him like Goldberg in WCW have him beat a load of no-ones then cash out against some with a bit of a name
He seems to be taking it more seriously now, he needs to do more of that and train all year round. He's still a bit of a circus act, on early on in the evening against a random no hoper, I'd love to see him push on and get a British title fight.
