The IBF has confirmed that Mexican Lindolfo Delgado (24-0) and Russian-Canadian Artur Biyarslanov (21-0) must resume negotiations for the vacant super lightweight world title. An agreement had been reached to hold the fight in Riyadh on the Mbilli-Canelo Alvarez card, but Delgado withdrew. The federation has now ordered them to renegotiate the match.

Sources agree on the main facts, with World Boxing News emphasizing Biyarslanov's frustration after 12 weeks of preparation.
