According to very reliable sources, Bryant Jennings fid not accept the offer to fight Mike Perez. HBO must be disappointed #boxing
Didn't this happen with Jennings before, but with somebody else? It was a high profile fight that he didn't take?
What is sad about the heavyweight division is that none of the top fighters are willing to fight each other. Pulev, Adamek, Fury, Wilder, Jennings, Povetkin and Helenius are supposedly among the top fighters in the division and none are willing to fight each other because they are all afraid they will lose their place in line to fight for a championship when Wladimir Klithschko retires. Half of these guys were *****i.ng when they weren't chosen to fight for the vacant title when Vitaly retired. However, Arreola and Stiverne were the only top fighters willing to fight each other, so a rematch between them for the vacant championship was the only fight that made sense. All these other guys, or their management team, are too afraid to risk a loss, so they continue to degrade the heavyweight division by fighting weak opposition.
Fury was unwilling to face the Banks Mitchell winner,as was arranged,so with Arreola being the next highest ranked boxer after beating Mitchell he was ordered to face Stiverne again.
Do you remember after Cris lost against Stiverne and they said where to now Cris ? He said right back to it,I'll fight anyone to get back in line.i just gotta start again.there is no Mexican favouritism within the WBC,just an appreciation of a guy committed to the WBC.after his Vitali and Adamek losses he fought 5-6 times in a year,kinda like the Wilder blueprint to fasttrack himself into tit,e contention.collecting some noteworthy early kos for his record too,Walker,Aguilera etc.

Not sure who is his promoter now? Peltz was his manager and the one who gave the genius advice to turn down a IBF #1 mandatory spot and 100K to fight Pulev. Is he his promoter now?
He started passing on offers after he signed with James Prince as adviser i suppose. he's probably advising his value is much higher
After the Szpilka fight. He did an interview where he said from this point he's only going to fight for a title. He wouldn't even consider the idea of any fight that wasn't a title shot.
Not saying his view is right/smart, but this move is consistent with what he said then.
He may as well have said quack quack followed by quack quack quack.

I guess we'll never see him again then, until the great belt grab of 2015

jennings is promoted by gary shaw.
Perez looked jaded and was maybe discouraged when he realised Takam wouldn't budge.his work rate was certainly off that night.it doesn't detract from the fact Perez is superior skilled,tougher and carries more power than Jennings.
I like Jennings,I just don't like this duck mentality demonstrated by the likes of himself and Fury.guys like Pulev,Arreola and Chisora will fight anyone,hell even Tiger Thompson has more heart than half of these guys.unafraid to challenge themselves for the greater goal.
I believe Jennings knows Perez is simply better than he his himself,he avoided Pulev for the same reason.word is he didn't want to face Adamek either ! The same Adamek everyone says is completely shot ! Maybe Jennings is waiting on Glazkov to go the IBF route.I'd like to see Chagaev versus Jennings ordered to for the Czar/Adamek winner.

Perez should have lost his last fight. Didn't look like a beast at all. Not even alittle bit.
More reason for Jennings to fight him right?

Didn't Jennings leave Main Event for another promoter ? What was the reasons for the split ?

Jennings twice turned down a fight with Kubrat Pulev last year (an IBF final eliminator). Chagaev and Fury did so as well. Finally Tony Thompson agreed.
Kathy Duva also said he turned down a Glazkov fight.
My heart goes out to these Cuban fighters
Nobody wants to fight them and they can hardly turn around and say Mike Perez is boring. I'd of thought more would be queuing to fight him given his sub-par performance in his last outing.
He may as well go back to Cork and fight that delusional twit Audrey or win the 32k Prizefighter again whilst he waits around.

I think it was Pulev.... but can't say for sure. I just remember it was somebody last year
