smh Just give up the belt because you know you not coming back down. You're holding up progress. By the end of next week the UK will be down two world champs and probably 3 by the end of the month.
he should make the spence fight but come in 9 pounds overweight and say he can't make the weight anymore. fight anyway since there's so much money on the line and boom that's how boxing works
Hearn is full of ****! I guarantee you that it is Hearn who doesn't want him to vacate yet. If he has those 3 names on the radar, then he's still going to have to vacate! If not, Spence Jr. is going to give him that work! Brook will be too drained @ 147. Dropping 23 lbs. and fighting Spence Jr. is suicide!
This is the problem with boxing these days. Holding belts hostage, realistically even without the broken orbital bone, we wouldn't be seeing Kell vs Spence by the end of this year. Kell would need a couple months to heal and it would take him some time to burn off the additional weight he put on. All this waiting around when I highly doubt he will even fight Errol. I don't believe it's Kell wanting this 100% more than likely Hearn wants to keep it for leverage in the future.
