When Frank Sanchez and Filip Hrgovic, IBF Eliminator with potential 2026

IBF, Franch 6 ordered to fight with the # 6 Philip Hrgovic in the Eliminator in a heavy title. The winner will be mandatory for IBF champion Daniel Dubois. The existing compulsory Derek Chisora ​​will have to wait until you get a shot against Dubois.

Sanchez (25-1, 18 kos) and Hrgovic (18-1, 14 kos) were both beaten before two battles. It seems a little early to give themselves to the position to fight for the world name. This is how IBF works.

Graphic to a shot

Chisora ​​will probably receive a hit by Dublois vs Oleksandr USYK 2 at the end of this year. If everything is good, Sanchez-Hrgovic will challenge the IBF title in early 2026. This is the best case scenario. In the worst case, they will have to wait until 2027.

They make it easier for certain warriors to take headers; Thus, 41-year-old Chisora, Otto Wallın, Joe Joyce, 39 and 42-year-old Gerald Washington, 42-year-old Gerald Washington in the last three battles. What is the selected warriors to be compulsory when it’s so easy.

Dubois is expected to fight with a rematch with a single three pipeline heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk. The winner of this struggle will defend Chisora ​​and then the winner of the Sanchez-Hrgovic war.

Hrgovic, in his last struggle, in the last decision on April 5, the last fight of 10 rounds to defeat Joe Joyce had a lot of trouble. After the war, Hrgovic’s face seemed to be hit by a truck. Joyce’s slow, heavy shooting hurt a lot.

Sanchez, who looked older than the age of 32, was suspended in Kabayel’s seventh round on May 18. He was thrown in the seventh round due to knee problems twice by Kabayel. If Sanchez’s knee still gives him problems, he does not continue to take a long time against Hrgovic, because he will be based on him to test this problem.
