We hope between September and December live gates will return to the UK. There is also a chance they won't — if that's the case, we will take the (Pulev) fight elsewhere, we have had a number of approaches from the Middle East, China, and Croatia to stage the fight. We want to give ourselves every opportunity to stage it in the UK but we know it may not be possible.
If Turkey is ready, we must begin talks. And if Croatia is ready, there too. But we can't have a quid pro quo with the fate of these countries' populations.
When it came down to technical skill and ability of the two teams, Croatia were far superior.
We've made a historic decision tonight on behalf of Croatia.
