    Al Haymon is looking to Spence to dethrone Brook

    I think Kell will move up and fight
    Yeah there are options, but like you, I feel with the Khan fight going the way of the Dodo bird, Brook likely makes the jump to 154.

      Depending on how things set up, Brook vs Thurman/Porter winner in a WBA/IBF unification fight, is a pretty big deal (especially if the card gets paired with some big UK bouts.

      Thurman-Porter happens in March, and Brook-Bizier happens in March, lining up rest/camps perfectly for both fighters; with Danny Garcia having fought in January, he's likely to want to get back into the ring by May/June, to avoid sitting for too long.

      Summer Blockbuster- Sky Box Office:
      -Brook(c) vs Thurman/Porter winner(c) - WBA/IBF 147 title
      -Frampton vs Quigg II -IBF/(WBA) 122 title [if Rigo steps aside; if not, no WBA]
      -Callum Smith vs George Groves
      -Anthony Joshua in another meaningful fight (i think Jennings falls through)

      Showtime Championship Boxing - same day broadcast
      Jack/ChavezJr winner(c) vs Degale(c) - WBC/IBF 168 title
      Santa Cruz(c) vs Selby(c) -WBA/IBF 126 title

      Hearn delivers a massive card for Sky Sports (closing out the night with a doubleheader with British interest from the US), while Showtime opens their day with a massive 147 fight in the afternoon (with an evening replay as the lead-in to a big doubleheader to close out the night).

        Good call.

        Now that Khan definitely cant happen this year Brook will go to 154.
