Most of you have probably heard. Nick Blackwell. Out of his coma. Sadly he has announced his retirement though from the sport. Never nice to see this.
Leo Santa Cruz will be facing Carl Frampton & Andy Lee vs Daniel Jacobs. July 30th New York.
Tyson Fury v Wlad in the MEN Arena July 9th. I can't call this fight if I'm honest. There's just so many factors to consider but I think.. Tyson outboxes him again to a points decision.
Golovkin v Dominic Wade tomorrow (Saturday)
Khan v Canelo in 2 weeks time. Gna be good to see this.
Shannon Briggs fighting an unnamed opponent on the undercard of David Haye. If he comes through that, he will face Haye in his next fight. Crap fights but Haye is in a catch 22. He hasnt got the budget to play with to bring over good opponents.
Errol Spence who is one of Floyd's fighters, beat Chris Algieri last week. He has a final eliminator next for the IBF title. If he wins that, he'll be facing Kell Brook hopefully. Still not holding much hope for Eddie Hearn finding a big name for Brook in the summer though.
Anyone got any more news? Discuss away.

Why do you keep comparing situations? Boxing isn't the same as it was back then and Amir Khan is no Ricky Hatton. Stick to the point and look at the current Brook and Khan situation objectively.
Has Khan ducked Brook yes or no?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You clearly stated that Khan and Brook were the two best welters in the country and have to fight.
Yet when Witter and Hatton were the top two light-welters in the country, they don't have to fight?
Hatton's biggest pay day was around 12 million, Khan just took 9 million.
Tell me what has changed in boxing, and what makes you give Hatton a pass whilst berating Khan for doing the same thing?

Khan has not ducked brook. He's just put a few minimum requirements which Brook seems to be avoiding like the plague.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements only work for VIK if your name is Mayweather, and even then he still ducked. But just like Hatton he gets a pass as well.

I was wondering when you'd mention Mayweather

Well we are talking about ducking, it was inevitable

Brook better not duck Spence.
Khan should fight Garcia, brave again taking another big fight after a heavy KO loss

No there are no requirements. He plainly stated that Brook talked himself out of a fight with him. Essentially the same thing Floyd done to Khan.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Khan was Floyd's Mandatory, Brook is nothing to Khan.

Brook has no personality or charisma to sell himself, I can understand why Khan doesn't want to do him any favours if they don't get on. If Brook can raise his profile it will prob happen eventually.
