Conor shared it in a conversation:

You know we’re gearing up, there is a lot going on behind the scenes and all but I feel it will move fast. There is no issue why it shouldn’t move fast. I assume (the Chandler fight will happen) late summer, maybe a little bit later depending (on the result). I would like that.”
