A deal was made for the junior middleweight world title eliminator between Julian “J Rock” Williams (25-1, 15 KOs), 28, of Philadelphia, and Takeshi Inoue (13-0-1, 7 KOs), 28, of Japan, so the IBF called off a purse bid scheduled for 12 p.m. ET on Monday. Promoter Tom Brown, representing Williams, and Teiken Boxing, which promotes Inoue, came to an agreement a few days after the purse bid had been postponed because they were close to a deal. The bout will take place this summer, possibly on Aug. 4, with the winner becoming one of the mandatory challengers for unified 154-pound titlist Jarrett Hurd (22-0, 15 KOs).
