The World Boxing Association has given the camps for cruiserweight champion Guillermo Jones (38-3-2, 30KOs) and interim-champion Denis Lebedev until June 29th to reach an agreement or else the fight will head to a purse bid, according to Lebedev's manager Vladimir Hryunov. Lebedev (24-1, 18KOs) was going to face former champion Jean Marc Mormeck (36-5, 22KOs) on July 21st in Paris, but now he is focused on his title shot against Jones.
