Eddie Hearn: "It is like the IBF belt will be on the line for Brook vs Khan"

Spence is a Haymon fighter infected with the same culture of inactivity. It's so obvious Brook is focused on the Khan fight, which is a big money fight. I don't know what this guy is waiting for. He could at least put pressure on Brook and demand answers so he can look for another opponent. Boxing is so f#ckd up with the kind of fighters this sport have.

Khan-Brook will be a damn good fight and of course Spence would have to fall in line..but it is weird cause the IBF usually enforces its fights

I don't believe a word Hearn says, the IBF will force the mandatory, the only way Brook vs Khan gets made with the title on the line is if Spence agrees to take step aside money, which I don't see him doing.

IBF could give an extension, they've done it before - with a guaranteed title shot for the winner. Not sure what their exact rules are, but since Spence didn't fight the #1 or #2 contender, his mandatory shot might be postponed.
In reality, he should fight a proper fight for the mandatory anyway. But that is what it is. I'm sure some exposure on PPV in the UK and on Showtime would be good for Spence too i.e. fight on the undercard.

The belt means ****, belts mean **** in general. Im sure ibf would let him fight someone else in the time being cause theyve let brook fight khan. Or let me guess, spence will use this as an excuse to fight someone whos useless? Straight out of the wilder playbook 'oh povetkin/brook wont fight me, that means i can fight bums now'
Then you somehow spin it to trash Spence??WTF????

There was no wiggle room in the Fury situation because Duva demanded an immediate purse bid and once she made that demand, it was too late for Fury to ask for an exception.
Duva has publicly bragged it was a strategic move to cause Fury to be stripped.
