For the reasons set forth herein, the IBF should immediately order the mandatory middleweight championship bout between Gennady Golovkin and Mr. Derevyanchenko. This letter considers the fact that the since-canceled rematch between Mr. Golovkin and “Canelo” Alvarez was ordered by the WBC at its convention last October and was, in fact, the WBC’s mandatory championship bout. In light of that bout being canceled, the WBC mandatory must be considered satisfied. Therefore, the IBF mandatory is due immediately and Mr. Golovkin should stand to lose his IBF title if his next bout is not versus Mr. Derevyanchenko. Following Mr. Derevyanchenko earning the mandatory position in August 2017, we were informed in a series of phone calls with the IBF that, as a result of Mr. Golovkin holding the WBA and WBC middleweight titles in addition to the IBF, the timing of Mr. Golovkin’s obligation to fight Mr. Derevyanchenko would be subject to a rotation agreement in place between the three sanctioning organizations. Mr. Golovkin last made a mandatory defense of his IBF championship on April 23, 2016 versus Dominic Wade – almost 24 months ago.
