Isnt that what managers always say about their fighters?

That they are getting a rest and etc and boxers say that too.

Usually after a fight they get asked who they want next they usually say "Thats up to my promoters right now im gonna take a rest and relax"

And stuff like that, so it doesnt sound any different to me when a promoter says their fighter is resting before they pick other fighters for them to fight, unless something has changed and they are automatically ready for another fight after a training camp and title defense.
