    The moment Spence had a stay busy fight you would have seen Kell Brook come out of hiding and sign to fight someone else....using the excuse that Errol already had something scheduled.

    Doing it the way they currently are is better. It actually forces Kell Brook to shit or get off the pot.

      LMAO. You are a good troll. Even the Aussies here don't know Jeff Horn.

        I don't understand why Kell Brook don't want to accept the fight.

        If he wins he's gonna have a huge payday against the Thurman-Garcia winner, and Floyd might fight him.

        And if he losses he can just fight Amir Khan in the UK.

          You sure he doesn't keep his mandatory? The sanctioning bodies are all different but I know Amir Imam was the mandatory for the WBC and took a stay busy fight. He only lost his spot because he lost that fight.

            Kell is only ****ing over himself by trying to **** over Spence.

            He's not doing himself any favors.

            Who is he doing to beat at 154????
            Yuri Foreman and who else?

                I'm not saying that Spence would have lost his spot. I'm saying that Kell Brook would have tried to squeeze in another fight (likely with Khan) while Spence was doing a stay busy.

                But to answer your question I am not sure what the IBF rules are regarding situations like this.

                  Its a unique scenario so the rules are a bit vague. If Spence just went ahead and signed for another fight, Brook could claim that Spence was "unavailable", and Spence would lose his spot. But spence could probably have asked the IBF to allow him an optional "stay busy" fight while the Brook thing plays out, but even if the IBF allowed it and Spence would not lose his spot, it might still open a window for Brook to take another fight in the meantime and then Spence has to wait even longer.

                  Sitting for a few months sucks, but its the right play in order to force Brooks hand.....

                    Brook need to fight the kid and prove himself a better fighter than him!

                    He took a beating by 3G for money and to look brave but won't face Spence but willing/eager to fight Khan!

                      If Brook waits the full time out or damn close to it an does not then fight Spence that is one of the biggest **** moves a guy can pull in boxing.
