So it would be better to cancel his upcoming fight and spend more time on the sidelines? Surely he should take this fight, get some more experience at this higher weight, put in some rounds and get a little money? He can still negotiate the Bute contract regardless. Kessler knocking back $3.5m is very surprising though - I can't think of a single good reason for tha, other than he just doesn't want it.
I just talked to Ohio Atheltic Commissioners Grandson, He is calling TOP RANK right now, ill give u the word for sure
