Good timing to announce a fight if you want an English footy stadium as the venue

June 4th confirmed date and it looks like they want it at goodison .

This should be awesome.

Definitely going to this - on the pitch at Goodison!

I'd go to this for sure, if it was reasonably priced like.

Worth pointing out like that the safety certificate for Goodison stipulates that the pitch area can only be used for association football and rugby, they'd have to get permission I assume.

I think it'll be reasonably priced for the upper tier seats .

Looks like it'll be at Goodison.

There's actual more quotes & details in the Daily Star story than there is in the Echo:

(Promoter Eddie) Hearn said: “My dad [Barry] spoke to Everton chairman Bill Kenwright because they go back a long way and they are chomping at the bit.

“We are working on the dates now. It is a novelty. How big is it? I think it does 20,000. Does it do 30,000? Or 40,000? It could do. I don’t know. It is a one off.

“It has gone from a pipe dream to being on the verge of reality.”

Starsport understands that Everton officials are discussing the logistics of staging a fight at the venue.

There are a number of hurdles that have to be overcome before it could be given the green light but all parties are confident it will happen.

imagine if it somehow filled up goodison and boxing fans end up buying a ticket right at the back of the gwladys street or the lower bullens... they'll get a shock if they think they'll see much of the fight lol

 

[mitchell1996]

can see groves vs murray being on the undercard for this, they will need a fight like that for this do big numbers

That would be sound

Lucas Browne has failed a drug test after winning the "WBA world title"

I hope they take the opportunity to bin it as they have 3 champions at the moment

Brilliant to see Paul Williams in the corner and back in the sport last night after his horrific accident in 2012, great to see.

Interesting to see how Ward gets on at light heavy tonight, I think him and Kovalev is one of, if not the most sought after bout amongst boxing fans right now.

Brutal fight with Blackwell and Eubank Jnr. Blackwell leaving on a stretcher.
