This isn't the kind of thing that normally happens in boxing in the 21st century. When two fighters perform at a high level for a period of time and they're in the same weight class, we as fans hope for them to fight. And then we inevitably hear the litany of excuses why the fight can't happen now or won't happen at all.
Boxing sucks that way, to be honest.
It's either problems between the promoters or problems with the networks or this manager doesn't like that promoter or something.
But it's always something.
