On November 20th, the IBF junior middleweights Brandon Adams and Caoimhin Agyarko to begin negotiations for an IBF eliminator for the organization's #1 contender position. An agreement was not reached within the time set forth by the IBF, so a purse bid has been scheduled for Tuesday, December 30th at 12 Noon. At 26-4, Adams is highly qualified for this opportunity. He has two wins over the highly touted Serhii Bohachuk, who last year held the WBC interim title after his first loss to Adams. Agyarko, from Ireland, is 19-0 including the World Series of Boxing. He has also legitimately earned this opportunity. The IBF junior middleweight champion is Bakhram Murtazaliev of Russia, who is scheduled to defend his title in January vs. Josh Kelly.
