Do we know who is on stand by for when Haye pulls out injured or with a better offer?

Don't think he'll pull out of a fight with a tumblebum.

A good step up for Ryder. Looks like Eddie has pushed the button on him. In saying that Ryder wlll make a fight of it in fairness.

He did last time.

Ryder is British level............Not interested in him........Ordinary as the day is long..

Am interested in Lee selby who is good quality and hopefully will be in his last fight before going for an alphabet.....Brunker has never fought anybody and nearly half of them have extended him.....But hopefully he's better than expected !!

Needs a punch with selby or he'll get outboxed..

Boylan v Tyler...........Don't know anything about those two.....Hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised....

If I don't have to watch Mamma Mia for the 20th time instead..

I like the card myself looking forward to this one

Ha. I suppose anything is possible with Haye. He has long since forgotten what professionalism means.

Good if SS1 and no PPV.


Andrzej Wawrzyk is the kind of guy AJ should be fighting though.

From the BBC

"I believe that the time is right for Anthony to step up and fight for his first title," says promoted Eddie Hearn. Bakhtov has won 28 of his 27 fights.

The guy must be pretty handy.

This Brunker is undefeated so could get Selby a test. That being said he hasn't beaten anyone of Selbys class so I expect Lee to win in this clash of the two South Wales fighters

Is this haye comeback confirmed then? Where did you hear this?

Apparently Haye was misquoted. The reporter thought Haye said "Adam Booth reckons I need to comeback so I am going to and I know it's gonna be really hard when I do" when infact the actual quote said 'pushback' and not 'comeback'

oh okay! Don't know if that was mentioned to be funny or not!!

Is there actually anything at all to the Haye comeback story?

Can't see any newd about it and it would be a big story...

I know there is no news at all, I'm a big fan of haye but can't help but this is yet another let down! He did an interview a mouth ago or so saying how he'd lied and let people down and aims to put it right, he was mentioned to box twice this year and it's september already. My opinion is if he really wanted to come back he would easily, he generates money so would have no problem finding an opponent,promoter etc. He's last match was 2 years ago and. Wlad a year. Before that. I can't see him working hard for a title shot. Hope I'm wrong but let down to many times by him.

Id be skeptical hed come back for a fight against this kind of opponent. Not enough money it for him. He could try to blag his way to a title fight against the winner of Wilder and Stiverne. More his stye.

Is he actually confirmed yet as he isn't on the official bill? Also it seems an odd card to have the O2 without him, there will be 15k empty seats.

Joshua sold 9K on his debut int he O2, he has major pulling power himself you know.

So did Fraudley at the same stage of his career ...

This is on my doorstep and I still wouldn't leave my house to watch it. The O2 proper is a huge venue but there is always 'Indigo', its smaller on site venue so perhaps it's there.

Lee Selby v Joel Brunker is a damn good fight - a true boxing fan would go and watch it and not need all the added extras.

Don't think haye is on this card at all. Selby the headline.

Selby headlining the O2? That's a difficult sell
