    Rumours flying around Twitter about this happening I don't know how true it is but obviously Ward doesn't want the fight with Anthony Dirrell!!!!

    A ward - other dirrell fight is very pointless IMO. But while he isnt fighting Bute just yet, who else is another option for Ward? He has soundly beaten Froch and Kessler already. Andre Dirrell wouldnt be too bad and a fight I want to see. But the other dirrell is probably a better option than Magee TBH

    Is Ward-Bute just not happening like or what? Really gay that fights that should happen aren't happening.

    Give me;

    Bute-Ward
    Mayweather-Pacquiao
    Haye-Chisora

    all in 2012 and boxing>every other sport.

    Anthony Dirrell is certainly an easier fight for Froch. Also it gives him more bargining power with Bute

    Anthony is wards mandatory but Andre doesn't want the fight, he has more to lose and Anthony looks like a top fighter who is yet to make his Mark on the world stage. If ward vacates then Anthony can really fight anyone in the top 5 for the title, and he wants froch as he thinks that he can put on a great performance against him.

    Someone told me Ward denied the rumors to Froch on Twitter.

    Why vacate? I can only hope these rumours are false. You wait 2 odd years for the super six to come to end, find a semi-unified champion, one step away from resolving who is the best supermiddleweight in the world (he's still gotta fight Bute for that accolade to be concrete) and then he gives up the belt?

    OK, it doesn't prevent him from fighting Bute but by the sounds of things he's not interested in that one yet either.

    EDIT: OK.

    This would've been a real problem for Bute-Froch negotiations that take place now and seemed to be close to a deal. I'm happy they are denied by Ward.
