In a crucial development for the heavyweight division, Martin Bakole has been ordered to face Efe Ajagba in a final eliminator for a mandatory shot at IBF champion Daniel Dubois.
The bout comes after Agit Kabayel, initially lined up for the eliminator, withdrew from contention.
Top Rank has confirmed that Ajagba, currently ranked Number seven by the IBF, is available to take the fight.
Meanwhile, Number five ranked Zhilei Zhang is expected to pursue a different matchup.
