It's a very good line up, no doubt about that. I reckon Toney gasses himself getting a win in the first round. And then just needs to be pushed over in the second fight as he is so exhausted. Larry Olubamiwo looking for redemption after the drugs ban, I wonder what he'll look like without the use of steroids? Personally I reckon Sam Sexton wins, although I dislike him as a fighter. Wonder who the eighth fighter will be?

Are you saying the tournament is going to tank?

[Britkid]

What a waste...

Why not a Toney/Minto 12 round main event backed up with Sexton/Olubamiwo over 10, and the rest in supporting six rounders?

A proper nights boxing, without an exhibition bout (let alone seven) in sight.

Sam Sexton has pulled out due to an injory.

That leaves six, they'll need to find two more.

Shouldn't we be glad to get as few of rounds as possible from this lot? Lol

I listened to a recent interview on youtube with James Toneys advisor/manager/whatever John "Pops" Arthur and he said that they have also had an offer to fight in early December in England if the tournament doesnt happen for him for whatever reason.

Could that be Hearn offering him a fight if this falls through? Maybe Hennesey offering him a fight with Hughie Fury?

Good point!

There's been some changes to the lineup, BoxRec hasn't updated them all yet.

Michael Sprott and Ian Lewison are in (Lewison's fight with McDermott is off).

Sam Sexton and Sherman Williams are out.

Not a great line-up and to be honest prizefighter has gone past it's sell by date

I reckon Prizefighter is still a feather in the cap of younger fighters, and could boost their profile, but when it's a bunch of guys who are either really old or novices, it doesn't offer much. Put Joshua in there and let him knock em all out.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Man, it pains me to watch JT fight anymore.
