George Kambosos Jr. and Lee Selby once again have a fight date. Their long-discussed, oft-rescheduled IBF lightweight title eliminator will now take place October 31, event promoter Matchroom Boxing announced on Monday. The bout will come in chief support to a heavyweight clash between former World cruiserweight king Oleksandr Usyk (17-0, 13KOs) and Derek Chisora (32-9, 23KOs), airing live on Sky Sports Box Office from a location to be determined in the United Kingdom.
The team of lightweight contender George Kambosos has asked the IBF to invalidate Matchroom Boxing’s winning purse bid for a title elimination fight against Lee Selby and give the rights to Kambosos promoter Lou DiBella, the under bidder, asserting that Matchroom Boxing has not followed IBF rules and is not dealing in good faith.
A lightweight title eliminator between George Kambosos Jr. and Lee Selby now comes under new terms. Nearly seven months after previously agreeing to terms that would have him traveling to the United Kingdom, Selby and his team remain in control of the ordered fight after his side was able to secure the rights to the fight. A purse bid hearing held via video conference call by the International Boxing Federation (IBF) was won by Matchroom Boxing with a winning submission of $277,777, during Tuesday’s session. The amount edged out the $260,000 submission offered by promoter Lou DiBella.
More than six months after previously agreeing to terms and three separate working dates, a fight between George Kambosos Jr. and Lee Selby remains in limbo and now subject to third-party intervention. A long-ago ordered title eliminator between the two highest rated International Boxing Federation (IBF) lightweight contenders is now heading to a purse bid hearing, sources inform BoxingScene.com. The bout was agreed upon back in February, only to endure two separate postponements due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the threat of a cancellation over a suggested purse reduction.
