The British fighters will all have a bit of an advantage in terms of size, as 67kg would be the top end of the scale for Andrei, Rudolf and Somphot, but their fight experience is about the same as all the British fighters combined! I’ve seen some footage of Somphot and he’s had about 180 fights and I’ve been told from a few people that when he’s training he’s a decent fighter, so you wouldn’t count him out. Andrei and Rudolf also have a silly amount fight experience and obviously they are used to the tournament format and will be tough opponents. The also have a bit of history, which will add to the mix hopefully! These tournaments are all about the luck of the draw IMO, which is why they are exciting to watch and I hope I get a chance to take in some of the action as it will be great to see all of these guys in the ring! Craig Jose does usually fight around 70, but said he’ll make 67kg of which I have no doubt. Will also be great to see Alex Sneddon fighting in Scotland again, many people won’t have seen him fight in the flesh, yet I’d bet all have heard of his reputation, that alone will make it brilliant!

Davy, yeah the 8to1 is the same format as last time with elbows only allowed in the final. I personally would prefer elbows throughout as a spectator, but it could wreck the tournament at the end of the day. I also think that with the danger of going out on cuts early reduced, it will mean that the better fighters will go through and win the £3,000.

Noi, the arena can hold a full capacity of 5,200, but we have capped it at 3,200, as we have had to submit our plans already. We’re hoping for a crowd around 3,000 and with the reserved seating, every seat will be filled and should create an amazing atmosphere. I heard your first fight with Rung was great, so really looking forward to having the rematch on our show.

Deano could fight much lower than 57, but has also fought a lot higher to get experience. The weigh-in for Deano and John plus another two of the domestic fights will be on the day though, all other fights will be as Noi said, between 6pm-8pm the night before.

Jabber, Dave and Rave aren’t on board yet, but no doubt they’ll want in on the action! Saying that, if they are on board it’ll just give me a problem trying to figure out who is who! LOL!
