Contrary to the recent announcement made by former world champion Shawn Porter, a potential April showdown with fellow former world champion Andre Berto has yet to be officially agreed upon by both parties. "Until that phone rings from boss man [Al Haymon] about the fight date or the money, there is no fight date and no opponent," stated Berto, who spoke to FightHype.com shortly after Porter made the announcement. Berto clarified that although he has no problems with facing anyone inside the ring, until Haymon informs him that the business side is taken care of, there's no point of even saying his name.
"We not in high school. I beat enough ass out on the school yard for free. This is business. You just can't try to make a fight on your own without the other party knowing shit about the business. That's not how it goes," Berto explained. "Like I said before, as of right now, no fight date, no opponent We stay ready on this side, but until I get a phone call, keep my name out ya mouth!"
