Kell Brook vs Chris Van Heerden!

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Hearn has confirmed multiple times on Twitter that neither Bundu or Van Heerden will fight Brook.

I'm guessing someone pulled out of the Alexander-Chaves purse bid?

This fight is not going to happen.

Brook by KO anyway.

Hearn just said on Twitter that the Chaves fight is possible.

Nothing special but a respectable opponent. Would be good to compare himself against a guy who's been in with Thurman, Bradley and Rios.

I guess Haymon pulled Alexander out. Would Chaves count as a mandatory?

I'd happily see that fight. He was probably on his way to beating Rios before the DQ and has held his own against some top level guys.

Potentially.

Depends what the IBF want to do. If he's the highest ranked contender, they might move him to mando similarly to what they did with Pulev after Fury went another route.

im not super keen. It would probably be a total stinker. But Brook could take him out in 6 of he puts it on him. But Chaves can crack a little but too, but I don't feel he can hang with Brook for 12 rounds.

I would rather want someone fresher like a Sadam Ali over Chaves.

Eddie Hearn replied to someone saying that the Chaves fight is possible. Most likely Chaves or Alexander imo. Marquez wants to fight in Mexico and Provo too risky.

Provo too risky?

Who told you that? Chavez, Alexander and Marquez are all far better than him.

Physically, Ali is the bigger threat. Chaves is clearly more experienced, and he's only 29. His inactivity could be a problem though.
