It’s mad, if you go back 18 months. Eddie Hearn was told by Sky, they wasn’t happy with Ted Cheeseman vs Sergio Garcia for the European title as main event for Saturday Fight Night. 3 consecutive defeats and a pandemic later and he’s headlining again versus Sam Eggington.

Should be a decent fight though.

Errol Spence v Danny Garcia in talks for a November bout at Welterweight.

Edit been confirmed November 21st is the date.
First fight since the car accident be interesting to see how he fairs. Garcia was a really good prospect a couple of years back but his career hasn't really reached the heights I thought that it would.

I thought she did enough to win the last two rounds but the last (10th) was close. Really good fight though. Tough ladies

Confirmed lads, Lomochenko v Lopez.

https://www.boxingscene.com/lomachenko-lopez-deal-reached-october-team-lopez-pumped--150880

Quote
The much-anticipated Vasiliy Lomachenko-Teofimo Lopez Jr. lightweight title unification fight has been agreed to.

After weeks of difficult negotiations between Lopez and promoter Top Rank, the sides came to terms on Wednesday night, David McWater, Lopez’s manager, told BoxingScene just after he said he and Top Rank chairman Bob Arum finished hammering things out.

Lomachenko had already agreed to terms with Top Rank and was waiting for Lopez to do the same.

The fight, initially penciled in for Oct. 3, will instead take place either Oct. 17 or Oct. 24
