Kimbo Slice's co-promoters have issued a swift response to Robert Bruce's story of Kimbo 'pulling out' of a potential meeting on February 11th by claiming that no contract was ever offered the unbeaten Missouri fighter to take on Kimbo in Springfield next month.
Tony Holden, Kimbo's co-promoter has issued a blunt assurance regarding the statements coming out of Bruce's camp, that no offer existed and that they are currently in the process of overlooking potential opponents for the former MMA star's fourth professional bout.
"Gary Shaw and I would like to respond to the story circulating on the internet regarding Kimbo Slice "pulling out" of a fight with Robert Bruce," stated Holden.
"Unfortunately when you have a fighter with Kimbo Slice's popularity there are people who will attempt to gain publicity by making outrageous statements.
"Kimbo did not pull out of a fight with Mr. Bruce because no fight with Robert Bruce was ever made. Until reading the story I have never even heard of the guy and neither had Kimbo. We certainly never agreed to a fight wih him.
"We are currently looking at several options for Kimbo's next fight and will make an announcement shortly," he added.
Slice, 37, is 3-0 since turning professional last year following a highly-publicised career in UFC and internet street-fighting and went the four round distance in he previous fight with Charles Hackmann for the first time following two crushing knockouts.
