Frank Sanchez and Filip Hrgovic have another week to resolve their differences outside the ropes and find a way to meet in the ring.
BoxingScene has confirmed that the IBF approved a request to push back its purse bid hearing to May 22. The session was scheduled for Thursday but removed the item from its schedule at the urging of both parties.
Whether a deal is reached or it still goes to a purse bid, the ordered Sanchez-Hrgovic title eliminator will determine the next mandatory challenger to the IBF heavyweight title. England’s Daniel Dubois, 22-2 (21 KOs) is the current titleholder. The Londoner is set to next face unified heavyweight champ Oleksandr Usyk, 23-0 (14KOs) for the undisputed crown on July 19 at Wembley Stadium in London, England.
