Junior welterweights Ivan “The Beast” Baranchyk (17-0, 10 KOs), 24, a Russia native fighting out Miami, Oklahoma, and Anthony Yigit (21-0-1, 7 KOs), 26, of Sweden, are headed to a purse bid after failed negotiations for a world title eliminator that will put the winner in the mandatory position to challenge for the 140-pound belt held by Sergey Lipinets, though Lipinets first defends against the favored Mikey Garcia on Feb. 10. Because the camps said they were unable to reach a deal, the IBF on Friday ordered a purse bid to be held at its offices in Springfield, New Jersey on Jan. 16, 2018 at noon ET. Bids must be submitted by 11:45 a.m. The sides could still make a deal up until that moment. The promoter who bids the most money will gain promotional rights to the bout.
