Just been to the press conference at headingley and Eddie Hearn was very impressed with the stadium and confirmed JW is looking to unify in the summer, at headingley on the rugby field

Hearn still seems to be hanging around the periphery of RL . it wouldn't surprise me if he got involved in one way or another, maybe even at club level !

It'll be interesting to see which of the other champions he fights, Xu Can is probably the most beatable of them, but he'd probably struggle against the rest, Russell Jnr especially

Can't see hearn getting involved unless he was given full control.


With his dazn deal he pretty much does about 50 shows a year.

Suspect elland road wasn't available.

Personally think Gerry Russell JR is there for the taking now, been a champion for a while now and is thinking of moving up, exactly like Lee Selby. I love the Can Xu fight though, both fast and huge punchers.

I wonder where the ring will be situated

middle of the field, every stand open with seating on the field. I’d say looking at 25k

Josh Warrington isn't a huge puncher.

Has this fight been confirmed or is it just something they said they're considering?

I'd ask Carl Frampton before you say he isn't a huge puncher...

I’ve also thought Warrington lacks punching power in the past, he has drastically improved this weakness in his last few fights.

I did. I saw him and I went

"Carl is Josh Warrington a huge puncher?"

And he said

"No he's not a huge puncher"
