Why is Kell Brooks IBF opponent currently "un named"

[IamInuit]

Brook defends his title on March 28th in Sheffield but his opponent won't be named until this Thursday 22nd Jan at the press conference, i just checked the IBF Welter weight rankings and no one is ranked Number 1 in the division, just Brook as Champion then you have Dan Ion at number 2.

Why is there no immediate mandatory challenger in place already?



Welterweight (147 pounds)
Rank Name
Champion Kell Brook.
1 NOT RATED
2 Dan Ion
3 Devon Alexander
4 Timothy Bradley
5 Kevin Bizier
6 Shawn Porter
7 Frankie Gavin
8 Robert Guerrero
9 Sadam Ali
10 Diego Chaves

First these clowns have to start calling Ionuț Dan Ion by his boxing name for the last freakin 10 years which is JOJO DAN and he's earned his way back .

Brook is allowed an optional here and I'm not sure of the IBF rules but on paper I think he has to be top 15 or top 25.

If it is the Mighty Dan Ion then i don't see Brook having much trouble with him
