England's Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Boxing is a busy man working on a variety of fall fights for his quality stable of boxers, which includes welterweight titlist Kell Brook, secondary junior featherweight titleholder Scott Quigg, elite heavyweight prospect Anthony Joshua and many others. Hearn told ESPN.com about a few things he has set and/or is working on:

• Former light heavyweight titlist Nathan Cleverly (29-2, 15 KOs), who is promoted by Hearn, is headed to Chicago to face Chicago-based Polish contender Andrzej Fonfara (27-3, 16KOs) on Oct. 16 at the UIC Pavilion. The scheduled 12-round bout will headline a Premier Boxing Champions card on Spike TV. The fight will be Fonfara's first since he made Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. quit after the ninth round in a dominant performance on April 18. Cleverly, who had moved up to cruiserweight, returned to the light heavyweight division on May 30 for a 24-second knockout win against no-hoper Tomas Man.

• After seeing the possibility of a September fight with Brandon Rios fizzle over language for a rematch, Brook (35-0, 24 KOs) will be back in the ring before the end of the year. And while Top Rank promoter Bob Arum spoke last week with Barry Hearn, Eddie's father, about the prospect of a unification bout between Timothy Bradley Jr. and Brook, that is not in the cards this year. Eddie Hearn said that tough Argentine brawler Diego Chaves (23-2-1, 19 KOs) is the leading candidate to get a title shot against Brook. Chaves' last two fights were a split draw against Bradley (in a bout that nearly everyone thought Bradley won easily) and a ninth-round disqualification loss to Rios.

• Hearn said he is continuing to work on a fight between Quigg (31-0-2, 23 KOs) and former four-division titleholder Nonito Donaire (35-3, 23 KOs). There have been conversations between Hearn and Donaire promoter Top Rank for the past month.

• Hearn said he hopes to wrap up a deal and have a fall date set for the rematch between lightweight titleholder Darleys Perez and Anthony Crolla this week. On July 18 in Crolla's hometown of Manchester, England, Perez (32-1-1, 20 KOs) and Crolla (29-4-3, 11 KOs) fought to a hotly-disputed majority draw. Many thought Crolla was the clear winner. Hearn is trying to finalize the rematch with Perez co-promoter Gary Shaw.
