Briton Moses Itauma is ordered to hold talks with Cuba’s Frank Sanchez regarding a fight for the vacant IBF heavyweight title. The IBF belt becomes available after Oleksandr Usyk vacates the championship and gives up his belts. Under the order, negotiations are set to determine terms for the proposed bout between Itauma and Sanchez. The process includes a deadline by which both sides must reach an agreement; if no deal is reached, the IBF will move to the next stage through purse bidding. Yahoo Sports and BBC Sport both report the same negotiation framework, with the scheduled talks focused on organizing the title contest for the vacant IBF heavyweight championship. The order effectively keeps the title on track for a fight involving Itauma while allowing the IBF to enforce a timeline for finalizing the matchup. The reports do not indicate other opponents or additional title options, focusing instead on the Itauma-Sanchez negotiations as the next step following Usyk’s vacating of the belts.
