We all know what happened the first time around. Kessler backed out of their fight that was to be telecast on Showtime, as he was looking for a showdown for a belt against Mundine.

Well Mundine never took that fight as he had other engagements.

The WBA was aware of all this and of this month, made Miranda the #2 contender for Joe's soon to be vacant belt along with Kessler.

According to a person who goes by Pantera2000(he claims to have an inside track with Miranda's camp) on another board, preliminary negotiations were back on. Miranda's team had the fight lined up with HBO this time around and from all indicators, Kessler's team has backed out yet again from a fight with Miranda.

Has anyone heard anything more on this? I find all of this mind boggling.
