The report said that despite agreeing to all terms of the Kessler and his team informed SHOWTIME that they will not be taking the bout which was to air on May 24.

Miranda's promoter, Leon Margules of Warriors Boxing was very surprised at the turn of events as he has the paperwork and contract proving that he made a number of concessions that team Kessler wanted to make this bout happen.

The only comments from Kessler's team was that they secured a yet to be names world title bout for the Danish fighter.

Kessler, 39-1 and Miranda, 30-2 agreed to the ten round bout after a series of press releases from Miranda calling out Kessler.
