IBF can force it whenever they want. Bute used to fight multiple mandatories a year when he was IBF 168 lb. champ.

There is no indication that Loma feels Commey is screwing around, no more than Loma is screwing around having his hand in a cast after Crolla.
That Commey wants a tune-up fight to milk what time he had as IBF champ before possibly (probably) losing it to Loma is beyond question - he says its to test out the hand, and maybe thats a good idea, but with Loma out of action until Sept earliest (based on the best estimate for Loma to recover from his own hand injury), then it doesn't really affect the timeline for Commey/Loma too much.
What affects it is if Loma goes WBC first in Sep, in which case it leaves Commey twiddling his thumbs until the earliest date he can meet Loma, which likely Dec earliest.
Teo not a factor, unless Bob can force it somehow (which I don't think he can).
