Callum Simpson vs Ivan Zucco LIVE RESULT: Simpson DROPPED TWICE but earns BRILLIANT win in fight of the year contender

Good evening everyone! Hello boxing fans and welcome to a big night of coverage from the home of Barnsley FC, Oakwell. It's a big night for Callum Simpson as he steps up to fight for the European title against Ivan Zucco. Both fighters are unbeaten but Simpson enters the home fight as the big favourite. The Barnsley brawler has been making some big claims in the run up to this fight and has some big names on his mind. Earlier this week, he revealed he wants to face the likes of Hamzah Sheeraz, Chris Eubank Jr and Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez. He has to get through the tough Italian first, though.

Sky Sports will NOT renew lucrative Boxxer deal when it expires this month - as the four-year exclusive deal between the broadcaster and promoter Ben Shalom comes to an end

Sky Sports will not renew boxing promoter Ben Shalom's lucrative deal when it expires at the end of this month. Mail Sport understands conversations remain ongoing about future collaborations between the broadcaster and Shalom, whose Boxxer company were plucked from relative obscurity in 2021 and handed a £36million, four-year contract in the wake of Sky's split from Eddie Hearn. But with Boxxer's arrangement expiring on June 30, multiple sources have confirmed Shalom's outfit will not be retained on an exclusive basis. Their final scheduled show of the existing deal was Callum Simpson's European title with Ivan Zucco in Barnsley on Saturday (June 7). Sky Sports declined to comment. A Boxxer spokesperson said: 'Boxxer has enjoyed a hugely successful partnership with Sky Sports in our first broadcast cycle, delivering a series of groundbreaking events and establishing as the UK's fastest-growing and most innovative boxing promoter. 'We are approaching the start of a new broadcast cycle and look forward to making a formal announcement very soon.' It is understood that while Sky Sports are still in discussions with Boxxer, their future strategy will likely see them pick up individual rights for big fights from a range of promoters. Shalom's tenure has not been short of incident, which has included scrutiny of Boxxer's links to the convicted cricket spot-fixer Mazhar Majeed, who advises Boxxer fighter Chris Eubank Jr. There have also been eyebrows raised within boxing about the quality of Boxxer's cards, though Sky sources insist they were satisfied, citing the recent Eubank Jr bout with Conor Benn and Kell Brook's 2022 clash against Amir Khan.
