Sampson Levkovich won the tender to organize the qualifying bout for the IBF heavyweight championship title between Efe Ajagba (20-1-1, 14 KO) and Frank Sanchez (25-1, 18 KO).
The winning bid amounted to $302,000. The prize money will be split with a ratio of 60 to 40 in favor of Ajagba. Top Rank also participated in the tender, offering $210,000.
“We both offered more than we should have, and now I’m off to Baltusrol Golf Club to play No. 18,” wrote Carl Moretti, a representative of Top Rank, on one of the social networks after the results of the promotional bidding.
The rematch is expected to take place within 90 days, likely in the USA. The IBF heavyweight champion is Oleksandr Usyk, who knocked out Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium on July 19.
