Show Time which has no ties to either Miranda or Kessler pretty much said it was Kessler. I see no reason they would lie
But they weren't dealing with Kessler, they were dealing with his promoter, and Kessler is currently involved in a legal battle to get out of his contract because he says his promoter won't make big fights for him and keeps matching him with Euro mandatory nobodies. The legal proceedings started just after the Miranda fight fell through. I think we should wait and see which fights get made after he leaves his current promoter before we go blaming the boxer.
That's all fine and dandy, but in the time he has taken out of his career to disentangle himself from his promoter, he could have fought one or two easy fights or two good ones at the least. Now he is quickly becoming irrelevant.

His last fight was against somebody called Danilio Haussler. No, me neither. Two fights against similar household names isn't going to do anything for his career and it's impossible for him to fight while he's in his contract dispute.
