Mihajlovic and Radovan to hold IBF middleweight eliminator

Andrei Mikhailovich (20-0, 12 KOs) and Denis Radovan (17-0-1, 8 KOs) were appointed participants in the qualifying match, which will determine the contender for the IBF world middleweight title. The fight is scheduled for July or August in New Zealand.

Mihajlovic, 25, is ranked fifth in the International Boxing Federation and last fought in April. Radovan, who previously held the IBF European belt, returned to the ring in March after a nearly year-long hiatus.

The title of IBF world champion in the category up to 72.5 kg is currently vacant. Previously, it belonged to Gennady Golovkin, and on July 1, Esquiva Falco (30-0, 20 KOs) and Vincenzo Gualtieri (20-0-1, 7 KOs) will fight for it.
