    Obviously http://www.boxrec.com/schedule.php aswell.

    As far as Schedule for Irish/Irish based fighters go:

    In Ireland:
    Saturday 6th of September:
    Patrick Hyland v John Gicharu
    Paulie Hyland v Christian Nicolae
    Eddie Hyland v Geoffrey Munika
    Robert Long v Florin Bogdan

    Saturday 13th of September:
    Gary O'Sullivan v ?
    Mike Perez v ?
    Jamie Power v ?
    Alexei Acosta v ?
    Luis Garcia v ?
    Ian Tims v ?
    Michael Sweeney v ?

    Sunday 26th of October:
    Francis Barrett v ?
    Gary O'Sullivan v ?
    Mike Perez v ?
    Ian Tims v ?
    Michael Sweeney v ?
    Stephen Ormond v ?
    Anthony Fitzgerald v ?
    Willie Casey v ?
    John Waldron v ?

    Outside Ireland:

    Friday 12th of September:
    Joe Rea v Kenny Anderson

    Saturday 13th of September:
    Scott Belshaw v ?

    Friday 19th of September:
    Dean Byrne v ?

    Saturday 20th of September:
    Martin Lindsay v Derry Matthews-British Featherweight title eliminator

    Saturday 4th of October:
    James Moore v ?
    Simon O'Donnell v ?

    Sunday 5th of October:
    Leon Senior v Caine Brodie


    We'll also probably see Andy Lee fighting here in October, presumely backed up by at least one other of the upcomming Irish fighters(such as Andrew Murray or Paul McCLoskey)

    It also looks like Neil Sinclair and possibly Willie Thompson aswell will be on the Welterweight prizefighter planned for October.


    Just some things to point out, it appears Paulie Hyland's opponent has changed to an out and out journeyman which is a shame. Although the last guy had a pretty poor record he had been African champion and had only lost to very good fighters such as Vic Darchinyan, Nathan Sting and Hussein Hussein.

    Also Dean Byrne is coming along quietly in America, this will be his 3rd fight since moving there and he is currently under the tutelage of Freddie Roach so he must have something about him.

    It's on a couple of forums and Barry Hearn had talked about doing several different weight classes if the first one was a success, which it was(a major one).

    The next Prizefighter takes place on Friday 12th of September at Newcastle's Metro Radio Arena, which is a 10,000 capacity venue. The first prize fighter was at the York Hall, Bethnal Green which has a capacity of just over 1,000. Now part of the reason the first one was there is because it is the home of British boxing but I seriously doubt the first one would of been able to take place efficiently in a 10,000 seater arena, so that shows you how succesful the first one was that they're there now.

    There are two more prizefighters planned before the end of the year, one at Welterweight, the other at Middleweight. The Welterweight one will come first and the word going round is it will be on sometime in October with the K2 leisure centre in Cawley being the venue.

    Michael Lomax, Ted Bami, Neil Sinclair, Craig Dickson, Ross Minter and Mark Lloyd are the supposedly confirmed fighters with names such as Willie Thompson and James Cook going round as two of the others who'll make up the eight. The fighter level there is much higher than the first prizefighter, or the Heavyweight follow up to the first one(which is slightly weaker than last time). The winner of that prizefighter could definitely have a legitimate claim for a British title shot.

    There has also been word than a Featherweight prizefighter will come about at some point aswell, I think Hearn wanted to do one for all the 8 traditional weight classes. Flyweight may be a problem for that though, there aren't many British Flyweights anymore and since the creation of the British Super-Flyweight title most fighters moved up, and they've a nice little division going there now. Realistically I think Hearn will stick to Featherweight, Lightweight, Welterweight, Middleweight, Light-Heavyweight and Heavyweight.
