Had a great performance there.

Yeah, very good.

I mean, we went on with the show, but it was a big fight to lose for the number two position in the IBA.

Obviously, Richardson Hitchens, the champion, has now vacated, which makes it even more important of a fight because it's for him.

one fight away from a world title and um yeah unfortunately gustavo lemos who is contracted to fight and rescheduled the fight for may the 30th as it appears to have pulled out and his manager and promoter um are claiming innocence and they're going to drop him and this and that and no one can get hold of him and

We're about to announce the show.

I don't want to affect the podcast because I know the BBC want to announce it this week.

The replacement opponent.
