Key Points
The IBF has ordered Filip Hrgovic and Frank Sanchez to fight in an eliminator match for a shot at Daniel Dubois' heavyweight title.
The decision has sparked controversy, particularly regarding its fairness to other contenders like Efe Ajagba.
Hrgovic recently defeated Joe Joyce but showed cardio issues, while Sanchez lost to Agit Kabayel in his last significant fight.
The IBF's urgency in arranging this fight is questioned, as Dubois' mandatory defense is not due until June, providing ample time for other arrangements.
The match is seen as well-matched, but the surrounding circumstances have led to a negative perception of the IBF's decision-making.
