I had to check to see if it was April 1st! He’s fighting again on Feb 1st. https://www.barnsleychronicle.com/article/30808/simpson-to-fight-for-second-time-in-three-weeks
It'll be said it's for activity purposes, but actually it's to get a few of Boxxers bigger names on a poorly selling event. Whilst it is good for Callum to be active, it's a backwards step in terms of opponent from his past couple of fights.
Edit. Misread the article. Chuffin adverts. I buy the Chron as well.. so will be in tomorrow's edition i assume.
It’s a knock over job for Callum but it’s all good. It keeps him active & gets him a pay day & hopefully a big KO win on Sky & then he moves onto the Oakwell fight against what will presumably be a tough opponent.
Aye, whilst the guy he's fighting has a record of 13 wins and 2 defeats. His victories have all come against opponents with poor records, and defeats against the 2 fighters he's faced with a half decent record. They've probably added Callum to the card to get a few more eyes on it.
https://www.barnsleychronicle.com/a...barnsley-love-a-trip-to-oakwell-south-simpson 300 people going down to watch him is a great showing at such short notice. I expect he will be fighting around 9 pm with being the penultimate fight.
Just watched a bit of his opponent & he’s absolutely terrible. Throws punches like he’s underwater. I’d be amazed if Simpson hasn’t stopped him after 3 rounds.
He is. He got the opportunity as the chief support on tonight’s card got cancelled due to an injury & they needed someone to fill the spot.
Bloody hooligan. Always scrapping that lad! I saw him feytin at oakwell not long back im surprised he wasnt banned!
