As the dust settles on Andre Berto's
newly-claimed welterweight crown, Leave It In The Ring speaks to
promoters Lou DiBella and [Matchroom Sports’] Eddie Hearn—who
represent the latest IBF champion and undefeated Englishman Kell
Brook, respectively—on the possibility of a meeting between the two
welterweights.
“Well, we are fighting [Rafa]
Jackiewicz who has beaten Jan [Zaveck] and Jackiewicz is #5 in the
IBF, so when we beat him we will be right there for a shot at Berto,”
stated Hearn just days after the enthralling but brief bout between
the Haitian-born Berto and Jan Zaveck.
