    There has been a clause about random drug testing put in the contract.

    Something is delaying the signature.

    It's an absolute disgrace that random drug testing isn't as standard.

    How in the hell don't the organisations get involved here?

    Porter and his team are holding up the fight.

    I am told @ShowtimeShawnP vs. @SpecialKBrook will NOT be on the 8/9 card in Brooklyn. Will be some other date, if at all. #boxing

    I just asked Shawn Porter's father if they were facing Kell Brook on Aug 9th, he smiled and said,'It's sketchy".... #boxing


    EBOXINGNEWS ‏@EBOXINGNEWS Jun 18

    Shawn Porter's team think Kell Brook will pull out of their fight


    Brooks highest profile 'pull out' was Devon wasnt it? Wonder how true that concern is and if its a smokescreen for Porter holding things up

    Eddie seems to have weighed in on the Twitter reports...

    His side have signed and are waiting on GB to confirm the date, if Porter doesnt agree terms he has to vacate. Hearn and GB agreed to extend the date by which terms had to be agreed and the fight has to take place by September 9th now.

    All the delays hurt Kell more than anything with more inactivity.

    Might have had a bowl of the Special K cereal, thought 'damn he named himself after this boring sh1t??' and decided to spare himself the chore again and vacate...

    You can understand why Porter doesn't want to fight Brook, after back to back wins against Alexander and Malignaggi the Brook fight is step backwards against an unworthy, no mark opponent.

    If Porter does get the Mayweather fight then surely Kell will just fight for the vacant title?

    Don't know why Fast Car won't go on the record except for a very weak statement of "we have signed the contract".Surely he knows a lot more than he is telling.
    So much for his transparency and honesty.

    Perhaps he doesn't want to jepoardise the potential for the fight to go ahead you spastic?

    There has been video footage of the IBF taking bribes from Don King to sanction eliminators, alter rankings etc. in the past. There is no general opinion among boxing fans that the IBF is good and honourable.
