Kevin Lele Sadjo wins fight and forgoes IBF super middleweight eliminator

It is reported that, on May 6, the IBF wrote to Lele Sadjo’s manager, Yohan Zaoui, to inform of the ordered eliminator while stating the boxer would forgo his position if he fought in the interim. Zaoui claims that Lele Sadjo, 24-0 (21 KOs), was made aware of the situation but he already had a contest planned and wished to go through with it. On May 10, in a contest yet to be recognized by BoxRec, the 35-year-old knocked out Ghanian Habib Ahmed in three rounds.

Iglesias, 13-0 (12 KOs), might now face another Frenchman, Bruno Surace, instead.
