Comments Thread For: Brook-Spence to Fight May 20 in Sheffield; IBF Purse Bid Canceled

[Come∂ian]

Lindsey Tucker, the IBF's championships chairman, confirmed to BoxingScene.com on Monday that a purse bid for the Brook-Errol Spence Jr. welterweight title fight has been canceled because the two sides have reached an agreement for a May 20 fight in Brook's hometown of Sheffield, England. The purse bid, originally scheduled for February 7 at the IBF's headquarters in Springfield, New Jersey, had been postponed a week ago until Tuesday because promoters for Brook and Spence had made significant progress toward reaching a deal.

Great News! But still a little skeptical will wait and see how things turn out hopefully no "Injuries During Camp" or "Struggle To Come Back Down" for Brook causing him to back out of the fight

Spence Jr might as well take another fight...never mind we're already in the middle of Feburaray and it is a short month so May is plenty of time for a Full Camp with some hard sparring

damn 13 weeks away

Great news. We'll know a lot more about Spence after this fight. Hopefully it's a belter and we might get a rematch.

Please add testing so that it is ZERO excuses for ANYBODY after this fight!
