In a shocker to absolutely nobody, the GGG vs. Jacobs fight it now off for December 10.
Tom Loeffler stated to Boxing Scene: "We're still negotiating with the Jacobs side and we had December 10th on hold with HBO and at Madison Square Garden, but because we don't have a deal in place it wasn't realistic to hold that date. So we're going to look to try to make a deal as soon as possible and pick a date for 2017 to stage the fight."
Loeffler went on to say: "Every indication that I've gotten is that Jacobs wants the fight. So, we're continuing to negotiate as the fights going to happen and we'll fulfill our WBA mandatory obligation. That's our responsibility as a champion that has multiple titles. It's just a matter of working out the deal to make it happen."
