1. Samuel Peter is going to fight either Audley Harrison or Matt Skelton on July 12 at the O2 Arena in London. Neither fighter is really deserving of a title shot especially Harrison. Hope the tune-up does not upset the Champion.2. As stated Chris Byrd was rushed to the hospital after his KO loss to Shaun George. Byrd is out of the hospital and doing fine. His spirits are high. If his wife's words stand true, Chris Byrd will never box again. For his health I hope he does stay out of the ring.
3. Junior Witter is trying to get a rematch with Timothy Bradley immediately in the United States. Bradley, the new WBC Junior Welterweight Champion, is not opposed to the fight if the money is right.

I thoght the fight with the Klitchko was a lock? I am glad that did not go down no really deserves it on that list but thats the heavy wt for you.
Bird just took way to many licks in the heavy wt division, I was hoping for a great showing this might of been the wrong fighter to start off with, I am glad he is doing better.
The fight with Vitali Klitschko is a lock unless Samuel Peter loses. The agreement Peter has with Klitscko was that Peter could have a tune-up fight in July with the fight with Klitschko being in October.
Yeah Chris Byrd definitely took too many hard punches from the heavyweights especially in his last few fights were he was KOd twice. He should have went down in weight years ago or started his career in the lighter weights and progressed up. I am glad he is doing better and I hope he has a great after boxing career.
