Has this fight been officialy announced yet? If so I didnt come across anything, Briggs has been saying that its almost done so has his trainer, but the IBF recently stated that they didint hear anything from anyone on making this fight reall. The fight is listed on boxrec for november 11th, but thats boxrec they always do it and a lot of the fights they list dont even happen.
If anyone has any info share with me....

Your the last one to find out?? Briggs was supposed to fight Terry Smith but Briggs got a call for a 1 time fight against Wlad and he accepted their offer. The money is decent and it's for a world title so Briggs want about to say no.

The fight has not been officially announced, but it's pretty much a done deal. In case Briggs pulls out, I know Brock is the standby opponent.

Hirsch will not let Briggs pull out. This is his make it or break it fight, he knows better.

A few fights ago I would have given Brock a decent chance at winning, but the Brock who fought his last 2 fights would be killed. Hopefully, if Briggs pulls out Brock takes this fight a little more seriously.
