Comments Thread For: Abdukahorov, Lipinets Invited To Contend For IBF Interim Title

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The opportunity won't come in time for a fight date once teased to house their fight, but Kudratillo Abdukakhorov and Sergey Lipinets will have the opportunity to move one step closer to a welterweight title. BoxingScene.com has learned that the International Boxing Federation (IBF) is in the process of ordering an interim title fight, with the winner to land as a challenger in waiting for unified welterweight titlist Errol Spence Jr. A letter has been sent to representatives for Abdukakhorov and Lipinets, both of whom will have five (5) days accept the sanctioning body's offer to challenge for the interim title.

I wonder how many fights does Abdukahorov have to take before a title shot, I hope this one would be the lastest of the last, the interimest of all interims out there

oooh this is a good one!

Good undercard fight.

If Spence is fine and ready to fight, why have an interim belt? Why so many damn interim belts?!?

Lol exactly. When was the last time they enforced a mandatory challenge? 2 yrs ago? And when’s the last time the IBF made an interim belt? I’m sensing an exceptional treatment for Spence in here

"Such a bout was once teased to take place on the undercard of the February 22 rematch between unbeaten heavyweight titlist Deontay Wilder (42-0-1, 41KOs) and top-rated heavyweight Tyson Fury (29-0-1, 20KOs), but with those plans abandoned due to the lack of clarity of the exact stakes of such a fight."

Now that they know it's for an interim title, please put it on the undercard!

Doesn't necessarily mean they're avoided because guys are terrified of 'em, man, but just cos they're tough fights (or at least Lipinets has proved to be) that don't bring much reward or recognition.
