I was going to sing The Show Must Go On, but I thought better of it, to be honest.

I didn't want to upset any of your followers and put anyone off listening to your show.

But, yeah, look, it was very important for us to make sure that we kept it on.

I think we were talking about it yesterday.

I think we've cancelled two shows in the last 10 years.

I think one was Eubank Ben.

I think I can't remember what the other one was.

The aim is always to try and keep the shows on.

You know, we've got 16 fighters on this card that, had this not have happened, they wouldn't have got paid.

And you can never really win, because people go, well, it's not the show it was.

No, it isn't.

It isn't, but it's still a great show.

One of the hottest prospects in world boxing back out on the card.

Molly McCann's going to have an amazing night homecoming in Liverpool.

So it's going to be a big, big show.

Look, I think it's a step up for Ben, you know, and it's always been the aim for us is to build him at the right pace.

You've got all these people saying, oh, he should fight David Morel, he should fight this guy.

It's about building him because we believe he can be a global superstar of the sport for the next five, ten years.

So we've got to do it at the right times.

Yeah, Muriel was calling for the fight, but look, on 10 days notice, again, our job is to deliver for Ben Whittaker, sort of forget the outside noise, and build him in a manner that when he's ready to make those steps... He's an elite fighter.
