Yesterday Eddie Hearn the boxing promoter announced a heavy weight title fight for May 23rd at the O2 Arena in London. The other day he said he would not promote a fight if it was going to be a closed door event. Fans help pay the bills and being a promoter they help fill his pockets.

A fight promoter covers the costs of hiring the arena plus promotions and marketing.Either this is him doing a marketing ploy knowing that there will be a high chance of this being postponed due to the Corona Virus.

Chisora is a joke as a fighter and totally overrated. 41 fights with 9 losses tells you everything and should not even be fighting after he bit an opponents ear some years ago.

If you are staying abreast of how this virus is spreading I honestly don't give this event much chance of happening. It just seems a matter of time before everything comes to a stand still.It was just the other day that the UK had it's first patient and now the flood waters have opened with an alarming escalation. Every day we are hearing of another 100 or 200 added to the list which doesn't take long before the .... hits the fan.

Closed doors for football is even at risk now after a Juventus player has tested positive. Just because you play football or another sport doesn't make you any different to the rest of the population. This definitely raises the questions whether the various leagues will complete their season in time and this must be a huge concern. Liverpool are lucky that they are only a few games away from claiming the title as this is going into unchartered waters for everyone. No one can say how good or bad this is going to be, but watching the numbers escalate you can't rule anything out.

I just find it fairly arrogant and dumb knowing what the rest of the country is going through yet he announces an event after he publicly said he wouldn't host an event without having fans.I am hoping for his sake it is a publicity stunt more than anything else otherwise he hasn't been paying attention. If the UK follows what other countries have gone through like Italy then 10 weeks from now going to watch a boxing event isn't going to be on anyone's wish list.I really hope I am so wrong about this but as it stands right now the 23rd May is way too soon to plan anything..
