How did this happen? Really good fight.

Good card. Surprised Essuman is on this and not the Yarde card later in the month, is he still with Queensberry?

He’s still with Queensberry. It’s one of those rare occasions were promoters actually work together to make a good fight. Joyce-Parker was a similar situation, hopefully this working relationship continues.

Ekow was up at our gym pre Christmas sparring one of our top guys , he doesn't seem to put a pound in weight on! and he'll admit during his school years he was BIG! Always in shape and ready , should be good.

I'm up for this. I think it will sell with sides like this. It was just a freak show without Smith anyway. I think he cooled the negativity about Eubanks little man syndrome, some.

Forget the phoney IBF European bauble this fight should be a final eliminator for the genuine EBU one!!....

Was it part of the deal for Parker to fight on BT?

I don’t think the two deal’s are directly linked but the fact Shalom allowed Parker to fight on BT likely influenced Warren’s decision to allow Essuman to fight on Sky.
