According to the IBF, #2 ranked Errol Spence Jr. will face #7 Leonard Bundu. The two have agreed to fight in an IBF eliminator bout to become the mandatory challenger for Kell Brook.
If you're wondering how Spence gets to fight a #7 contender for the number one spot, you're not alone. Apparently he was the only contender willing to face Errol Spence.
The date has not been set, but the bout is looking good for August.
If Kell Brook beats Jessie Vargas for the WBO title, expect Brook to drop the IBF title so that he doesn't have to fight Spence. That is not a fight that Kell Brook wants anytime soon.
