I don't want to sound rude, but I don't know if you people are blind or just can't read. It clearly says it's a sanctioned final eliminator to become the mandatory challenger. The winner will be in line for a title shot at Brook's title.
There was article here in August mentioning this fight as a final eliminator ordered by the IBF. Originally it was going to be Chaves-Alexander, but Alexander decided to go somewhere else, then it was Chaves-Bizier, but Brook decided to fight Chaves as an optional title defense, so the next ones in line on the rankings were Bizier and Lawson.
