Same question than Bat: did the IBF call the shot? They should have done it earlier. Now, if Mendy and Bute don't agree on the fight, they'll have to go on purse bid, pushing the fight later than July.
I presume so, seeings that Bute's people got in touch with Sherrington's about making an optional defence.
I would be surprise , one of my friend know somebody in Bute entourage and he said that Sherrington name was never mentioned!
That could also be part of the negociations with Mendy in order to force him to fight in Romania. That is IF Interbox really called Sherrington's team.
Les is scheduled to fight Junior Talipeau in June on the Gold Coast, and has a warm up before that! So no Bute
Bute is, by far, the best 168 lb. fighter today. He would knock SOB Ward out if he could get him into a ring................
9 July Bute will fight Mendy in Bucharest it seems after all. Its better for him to get rid of his mandatory before his big fights with Kessler and Ward/Froch.
Ward will continue to hold the crown as the best super middleweight as long as bute keeps fighting these hobos.
It will be against Ward, after the super 6. You can go back to sleep. I won't sleep if Bute fights Kessler or Pavlik after Mendy. I hope so much that the big fights will happen one after another. It's better to be that way or even I will get out of Bute's fans. Can you imagine! Even me!
As long as he wins, he will remain number 1, because he beat Kessler who beat Froch... and because he should face Froch himself to settle things. Ward will then have to face Bute.
