This reminds me of when D. Garcia first burst on the scene with the Khan win. Not a week passed by, he was already ducking Matthysse, according to NSB.
Same legend will start with Brook-Thurman I see. Guy doesn't even have a week soaking in the biggest win of his career.
In this instance, you have 2 mutual parties that WERE "interested".
It gasses up the fans, then when it doesn't happen, obviously the guy that instigated the situation is the one that looks bad. Common sense.

I actually predicted they would jump straight on the Thurman hypetrain. Who next? Errol Spence?
Who in the right mind fights an untested Thurman who brings nothing to the table anyway when Khan is there who will not only help generate 100 times the revenue but increase his fanbase ten fold?
What is up with Thurman fighting Porter or Bundu or someone?
Guy has been world champion for 4 days and already being accused of ducking lol

If Brook was an unknown than it makes sense to avoid him, but he just beat Porter, and has a large UK fan base.

he just fought last week and hasn't officially named their next opponent...i'd hold off on the 'ducking' part for now

And I was one of the biggest Brook supporters of calling out Keith, and still think it's a 50/50.

Him being a champ for a week has nothing to do with anything. He's already mentioning weak ass names to fight in his home country. That has Danny Garcia written all over it.
Thurman is calling everyone out, but he hasn't fought any of them, it's not his fault it's GBP/Haymon making the fights.

I wouldn't say he's ducking, but he shouldn't have mentioned Thurman if he doesn't want to fight him.
