The tender for the organization of the final eliminator for the IBF heavyweight title featuring Filip Hrgović (18-1, 14 KO) and Frank Sánchez (25-1, 18 KO) is scheduled for May 15.
The winner of this fight will become the mandatory challenger for the IBF title, which will be contested on July 19 between Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois. The meeting will also include the titles of WBA, WBO, and WBC. However, the mandatory challenger according to the International Boxing Federation will likely have to give way in line for the championship fight to WBO contender Joseph Parker.
