Luis Ortiz (33-2, 28 KOs) and Filip Hrgovic (14-0, 12 KOs) were officially nominated as the competitors for the IBF Heavyweight final qualifier. Boxers have three days to decide if they want to have this fight.

The Croatian team has already announced its intention to cross gloves with the Cuban. It is not known how Ortiz's representatives will react, as he may choose a different option in the coming months. Andy Ruiz Jr. may also meet with the 42-year-old Ortiz.

Alexander Usyk is currently the champion of the International Boxing Federation. The 29-year-old Hrgovic has long awaited an opponent for the IBF eliminator. Ortiz on Saturday in Hollywood defeated Charles Martin, returning to the ring after more than a year layoff.
