    Your having a laugh int you? Hearn said after Mitchells last fight that his next opponent will be Tommy Coyle in Hull in Febuary.
    Another thing what will it be a final eliminator for...The British title?

    Porter won't come to the uk voluntary. Alexander has a rematch clause and Porter wants Maidana. Mandatory won't be called for 6 months so they have to protect the mandatory position whilst keeping Brook active. The last Hearn interview he stated he needed to keep Brook active

    No he didn't. He said he wants that fight in Hull this year but won't be happening next. They both have IBF baubles so couple more wins each it's conceivable it's a an eliminator.

    I didnt know that, cheers for the info!
    However Brook could go to America if that would bring the fight closer.

    This could all take a while to sort out then if Porter wants Maidana since he will be waiting to see if Floyd picks up the phone and chooses him for May.

    If Porter does get Maidana and loses his title though...will Brook chase Marcos or will Maidana then fight Floyd in September, hmm many permutations

    Brook needs a competitive fight inbetween though, no point in a gimme as his title shot might not even happen this year

    Maidana defo one big win away from Floyd if he holds two world titles at WW then he's got a shot IMO. I think porter could beat Maidana tho

    Yes he did! Hearn said right after the fight Mitchells next opponent would be Tommy Coyle in Febuary. Maybe that's his plan now right enough, but he definitely said that after Mitchell's last fight.
    Another thing Coyle needs a few more wins alright be for he's conceivable for a British eliminator never mind the IBF.

    Coyle has the IBF international belt. It means diddly squat other than he can be pushes up there ranking quickly. With Mitchell holding the IBF intercontinental it just needs Cogle to get a ranking to be made into an eliminator. Hearn has said the fight needs to mean something or be for something to happen.
