Undefeated Butler, who's army of fans outnumbered the defending champion Stuey Halls by 4-1, has now targeted Doncaster's McDonnell in what would be a domestic blockbuster.

UK Insider: Porter-Brook Clock Ticking, McDonnell News

The clock is ticking on the proposed IBF welterweight title fight between champion Shawn Porter and his British mandatory, Kell Brook. Under the terms of the deal which allowed Paulie Malignaggi to face Porter last month, the winner had to agree to face Brook by 19 July. That’s just eight weeks away and, realistically, it’s not going to happen within that timeframe. There are strange noises emanating from Porter’s camp. A logical spot for the fight to take place was in Vegas on Golden Boy’s July 12 show, as chief support to Saul Alvarez v Erislandy Lara (Porter is a Golden Boy client). That discussion went nowhere. Instead, Porter was encouraged to talk up the prospect of an all-American affair against the recent WBA Interim winner, Keith Thurman.
