IBF orders Teofimo Lopez-George Kambosos title fight

Could George Kambosos Jr. be undisputed lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez’s next opponent?

The IBF has ordered a title fight between Lopez and his mandatory challenger, giving them 30 days to reach an agreement in order to avoid a purse bid.

Lopez, who won all four major titles in his victory over pound-for-pound king Vasiliy Lomachenko on Oct. 17, could lose the IBF belt if he opts to fight a higher-profile opponent rather than Kambosos next.

Devin Haney, a secondary beltholder, has called out the 23-year-old Honduran-American.

Kambosos (19-0, 10 KOs) is coming off a split-decision victory over Lee Selby on Oct. 31, which made him the No. 1 contender. Kambosos is from Sydney, Australia.
