Scott Quigg could be one of the fighters. He did mention a few weeks ago that he would leave Haton Promotions if Ricky didn't secure a fight soon. Anthony Joshua and Luke Campbell would be good shouts too.

Thinking outside the box you've got Chris Eubank Jr. When he joined Mick Hennessy his Dad said it was crucial to get regular TV exposure. I've noticed he has not fought since December and has nothing scheduled. With Channel 5's commitment to boxing in question, Eubank might be looking for a move.

Another fighter who is not tied down at the moment, as far as I know, is Commonwealth champion Denton Vassell.

My eyes will be working overtime this weekend with the boxing, my plan watch the Wembley Boxnation card live and record both SKY and Channel 5 on TiVo, watch the recordings as live (fast forward through adverts:)) and finally watch the Alvarez card live in the early hours on Sunday:)

Pretty much what I plan to do also. It's a monster night of action! The Boxnation card starts at 7pm however SKY have boxing from 6pm on the red button.

Here is the line up and fight times for tonight on Boxnation:

7pm - Joey Taylor v Sid Razak - 6x2 Minute Super-Featherweight contest

7.20pm - Liam Walsh v Scott Harrison - The WBO European Lightweight Championship

8.10pm - Mitchell Smith v Gavin Reid - 6x3 Minute Super-Featherweight contest

8.40pm - Paul Butler v Yaqub Kareem - The Commonwealth Super-Flyweight Championship

9.40pm - Steve O'Meara v Chas Symonds - 6x3 Minute Light-Middleweight contest

10.15pm - Nathan Cleverly v Robin Krasniqi - The WBO World Light-Heavyweight Championship

Follow on - Frank Buglioni v Darren McKenna - 8x3 Minute Super-Middleweight contest

Follow on - Dereck Chisora v Hector Avila - 10x3 Minute International Heavyweight contest

Anyone with SKY who doesn't subscribe to the channel can watch the first 2 hours, 7pm to 9pm, on a Freeview basis. That means they can enjoy roughly 4 fights including Liam Walsh v Scott Harrison. In fact there is also 2 Amir Khan documentaries being shown from 5:30pm on a freeview basis also.

Good lad. There is a 12 hour shift ahead. I've just bought 18 of the Fosters Stubby cans. There is only 330ml in a can so I'll be able to knock it back like juice :D To be fair though my Dad is coming to watch the Cleverley fight so he'll put away a few of the Stubbies :mad:

:D Try telling that to wife. She is under the impression 18 cans is too much :confused: Clearly she doesn't understand a televised sports fest!

18 Large cans for 1 may just do it, but if Dad's coming over you need more.
Ask her if she's gonna go shopping when you run out in the middle of the night, bet she says NO...

Not to worry. I live next door to an shop which is open until 10pm and there is a pub right accross the road that sells cans, on the fly, until 1am.

It's no wonder that so many Scots like a drink!
