    How big was the brown envelope from Hearn to the IBF to put it on Fury? No secret about the IBF protection racket on Kell Brook, and Hearns love of that ****ty organisation ala W@rren and the WBO

    Coincidence that Khan and Fury have been ****ed over by the IBF and this is the organistion favoured by Hearn, I think not

    Any of you mugs who think otherwise are just that, clear as day and with Tyson and the psychic abilities which run through his Gypsy heritage, the truth will come out. If you know, you know.

    What are you on about? IBF haven't protected Brook at all, yes he has had weak defences but all he has done is fight people which are highly ranked with the IBF. All they have done is go by their rules, that to me is not protection of Brook. You could argue they got unfair treatment from the IBF over the Froch scenario so I wouldn't particularly say either is in the others pocket so to speak.

    It's odd that the mandatory has been called in this way- clearly Duva knew Fury couldn't fight his mandatory well before the Kiltschko fight.

    Joshua is number 9 with the IBF and I'd fancy him against the vast majority of those above him.

    Bar Wlad and perhaps Teper, deals with all above him easily.

    I can see Hearn trying to get Cunningham next if he'd travel.

    Good on the IBF I say, they'd make more in fees from the rematch but are enforcing the mandatory as they should. Much more credible than the WBC and WBA.

    Don't think Matchroom has anything to do with the IBF following it's own rules-but this does benefit Matchroom down the line.AJ can get a title fight much quicker now and make the Fury fight huge when it does eventually happen.

    It was a masterful stroke for Hearn to get Kell an IBF belt.

    1) He didn't have to face Manny, Floyd or another top fighter.
    2) He faced a guy he had a massive chance of beating.
    3) He's FORCED to face mandatories. And have you seen them? :lol:
    4) He's now got a bargaining chip with that belt.
    5) Which he wouldn't have had, had he gone down another route.

    Also works out for him if his other fighters pick up a belt from them and the mandatories are either weak or his own fighters (then it's win-win).
