IBF junior middleweight champion Cory Spinks expected mandatory defense, slated to take place against Verno Phillips on the January 19 Jones-Trinidad undercard, has yet to be solidified. Phillips was merely the leading available contender when the bout was first ordered, but since then Sechew Powell has become the number one contender it should be interesting to see if Phillips loses his shot at Spinks should the fight fall through. Remember where you heard it first! (7:56 PM EST)
