Edited Press Release: Matt "Too Smooth" Godfrey (12-0, 7 KOs) has denied that he ever turned down a chance to fight for the vacant IBF cruiserweight title on short notice... but his manager admits he wouldn't have taken the fight just two days in advance. Last week, Guillermo Jones pulled out of a fight either due to health reasons or a financial dispute, leaving Steve Cunningham with no opponent for the IBF 200-pound title fight. The fight never happened and the title remains vacant. Godfrey denies he ever received an offer to fill in for Jones. "His name Cunningham) was never mentioned to me. If that fight is offered to me in the future, I'll take it in a minute," said Godfrey, who by the way is not ranked by the IBF, so it is unclear whether he even could fight for that title. "We were not contacted by anybody associated with Cunningham," Godfrey's manager Bret Hallenbeck added, "not his promoter or manager. I wouldn't have let Matt fight him on only two days notice, but we wouldn't back down from Cunningham. In the future they can just let us know the time and place." Godfrey's promoter Jimmy Burchfield added, "Nobody contacted me about Matt fighting Cunningham. I return all of my calls. Matt Godfrey will fight anyone, anyplace." Cunningham may wind up fighting IBF#3 Kryzstof Wlodarczyk for the belt.
