Is There a Change in Wilson's February 8 Opponent?

Interesting rumors coming out of the boxing internet world concerning Darnell Wilson's February 8 bout.

Undefeated Missouri cruiserweight BJ Flores told Boxingtalk.com that he has been offered the February 8 bout against Wilson in what would become a IBF elimination bout. Flores (20-0-1, 13 KO's) says that he would take the bout for "short money."

However, Flores also told BoxingTalk that the bout is not a done deal because Dino Duva, the president of Duva Boxing (Wilson's promotional company) would demand future options on Flores's fights.

Right now, Wilson is slated to take on Andre Purlette on the February 8 show at Dover Downs in Dover, DE on a nationally televised ESPN2 card.

We'll keep an eye on this situation to see if anything develops. This could very well be some "Boxing Talk."

What options? If it's an IBF mandated elimination bout, Flores can always take it to a purse bid and not sign any options with that useless Dino.

Either way, Ding-a-ling knocks him out.
