No change regarding Chaves-Alexander eliminator according to IBF

[M Bison]

Why would anyone randomly post an article that is over a month old and portray it as breaking news?

Oh yeah....because that person would be Khantard. Just like how all the little Khantards made threads that Brook was fighting Bundu or Van Heerden and tried to pass that off as fact.

I suppose it is a tough time to be a Khantard having just seen his gym mate get the Mayweather lottery ticket loooooool

Well that escalated quickly... sheesh.

Devon Alexander Vs Diego Chaves = talk about Khan and his fans

How is it misleading?

It's a month old article but the title suggests that a deal has been reached just now. Stop the "playing dumb" act.

What I'm trying to figure out is the agenda here. As obviously there is one.

Are you trying to suggest that Hearn paid Alexander step-aside money to stop him from fighting Brook because they don't want that fight?

Your desperation knows no bounds.

I read on WBN no change regarding Chaves-Alexander as of Aug 3rd. The other link was ESPN, so I naturally posted that one without realizing it was a month or so old.

Apologies for the mistake. Thanks!

Would you need to pay step aside money for an eliminator? Eliminators are optional and you don't lose anything by not taking it up.

Key word being optional. Alexander isn't really a guy who can demand title shots add the fact he is coming off losing every single round in his last fight would want to give this up without a compensation.

Our buddy Laced Up is NSB's expert on all matters IBF. May be he can jump in on this.

If no Chaves then who else is there?

Time Brook moves over to the US, seems like he will struggle to get opponents to come to Sheffield

If you cant secure a journeyman like Chaves, what good is Hearn?

Chaves and Alexander is going ahead. WBN spoke with IBF chairman Lindsay Tucker who said it was news to him that either guy would face Brook. As far as he knows it is those two fighting in an eliminator.

Remove the dot after World and then the link will work. Else it was censoring.

As for who is left, Chaves and Alexander are 4 and 5 respectively.

Then:

#6 Kevin Bizier
#7 Fredrick Lawson






















#8 Chris Van Heerden

The obvious answer is that Hearn has offered both of them the fight without the need for a final eliminator.

Just on that, can an eliminator go to a purse bid? (not Chaves-Alexander related, thinking Hopkins-Beterbiev)
