Eddie Hearn confirms here that whether Shawn Porter and Golden Boy like it or not, they are going to have to fight The Special One: Kell Brook. See around 3.55 and again @ 8.50 when the interviewer asks what the big news Kell tweeted about was. :deal

Stand by for all the ESB doctors to confirm that the broken bone in Kell's foot was not legit for the Alexander fight, and he will suffer another "fake injury".

Expect the ESB doctors to also also confirm when Alexander had a "bicep injury", a day after Special K tweeted this picture:

and 2 days later Mayweather tweeted about fighting Alexander instead of Guerrero last year- yeah- that injury was completely legit. atsch

Deal with it haters :hi:

 

Porter should come to the UK and fight in front of a raucous audience of 39,812 at Hillsbrough in Sheffield on Sky Box Office in the main event, rather than fight in front of one man and his dog in America on the undercard of Zab Judah vs Victor Ortiz or some garbage.

 

There is no doubt about it. People go on about how Porter is going to KO Brook, they tend to forget Porter hadn't knocked anyone out including a load of bums (one of which he required a robbery over) in about 3 years before he fought shot to **** feather fisted Paulie.

 

:good and a poor man's Timbo at that, he will easily be discouraged from his attacks when the first one of Kell well time accurate punches catches him coming in flush and his chin.

Even Malignaggi says all Kell has to do to win is "just be Kell"

 

It could, but it's unlikely they will be able to compete with GBP financial muscle, they would probably have to rely on a big back up offer from Sky, and need a football stadium like Hillsbrough for a big live gate.

However I think Shawn would probably rather drop the title than come to the UK.
