Moses Itauma ordered to fight for IBF heavyweight title after Oleksandr Usyk gives up his belts

Following Oleksandr Usyk's relinquishment of his unified heavyweight titles, the IBF has formally ordered No. 1 contender Frank Sanchez (26-1, 19 KOs) to face No. 3 contender Moses Itauma (14-0, 12 KOs) for the vacant IBF heavyweight crown. The pair have until July 29 to reach a deal, or purse bids will be called. Separately, the WBC elevated interim champion Agit Kabayel to full WBC heavyweight champion on Saturday.
