Matchroom follows suit, cancels all March and April events

In the wake of the BBBofC canceling all UK events until at least early April, Matchroom Boxing has gone a step further and canceled all of its events until May, scrapping a trio of planned cards on DAZN.

Unlike Top Rank and PBC, however, Eddie Hearn and co. are already looking into rescheduling. If you’ve somehow found a way to get blocked by Matchroom on Twitter and can’t see the post:

• The March 28th David Avanesyan-Josh Kelly card will see its cast “merged into future cards.” I’m pretty sure it was still about 80% comprised of TBA, so that shouldn’t be difficult.
• The April 4th Lewis Ritson-Miguel Vazquez card will take place June 27th.
• The April 24th Terri Harper-Natasha Jones card will take place in June “with a date to be confirmed shortly.”

And with that, it looks like we’re down to Joe Joyce-Daniel Dubois until the summer. Unless, of course, I can successfully sell my plan to host events at 10,000 feet in rings suspended by hot air balloons. Still working out the kinks, but I stand by the Lawnchair Larry method.
