    Something was bound to come up.
    Just under a week after Tony Yoka accepted the IBF’s order to face former Olympic rival Filip Hrgovic in a final eliminator, ESPN reports that Martin Bakole’s team “sent letters to the IBF” requesting that they cancel the bout, as Yoka is allegedly still under contract to meet Bakole in a postponed matchup.

    Yoka beats Bakole. But if it goes ahead instead of Hrgovic it's a big shame. Hrgovic will need a decent fight before challenging the winner.

    Or they continue down the IBF ladder. Joyce is next and he was looking for a fight in April.
