Apparently not. He is actually offering refunds and the fight is going to be rescheduled. Looks like the whole card is off.
He actually is, I'm astounded
I think fans who bought tickets off their partner Stubhub are going to be slightly more dissapointed

Yeah just seen this. Eddie has put a decent spin on this. Majority of tickets are sold by Stub hum, as you say, Matchrooms partner and AJ's sponsor. And surprise surprise they are not offering refunds. That is disgusting, how can matchroom promote the robbing bastards.

Entertaining fight between Barrera and Valera last night followed by Kovalev steamrolling over Shabranskyy.

Stevenson, Jack or Bivol next for Kovalev, surely.

Barrera is lined up for Bivol, he’s the mandatory challenger. I expect Kovalev will go after Beterbiev then Stevenson.

What the hell has happened to David Price? He should retire, he's finished.

If you get a chance watch Kalle Saureland at the Groves vs Eubank presser, up to his eyeballs on coke, looks like he is going to burst a blood vessell

Rigondeaux vs Lomachenko this weekend. Fight of the year.

It really is an amazing fight, a proper super-fight, but I think it might be a little too late for Rigo and and a weight class too high unfortunately. Certainly two World class fighters but I think Lomachenkos size and the fact he has been active is a massive advantage.

Agree Twixy
Shame Rigo never got a decent UK/US fight with Santa Cruz, Frampton or Quigg
I fancy Lomachenko to stop him in the middle rounds

Lomachenko is built like a Welterweight, it's nuts to think he makes weight. I think, one way or another, he'll win, I've been buzzing about this one for so long, I'm just glad it's almost here, it promises to be one of the best fights of recent years, two genuinely World class and technically sound boxers.

Bit of a shock seeing just how much bigger Lomachenko looked at the press conference yesterday
Will be amazed if he doesn't stop Rigo

10/11 seems decent value on that to me

I have to say, the respect the two have shown to each other in the build up is refreshing, Rigo has said it's an honour to be sharing the ring with such a fighter. I'm still unsure if Rigo will be stopped, he's a very tough lad, but Loma will probably do enough to edge a points win, he's on another level.
