I honestly don't know how the IBF functions. But most alphabets don't immediately demand a mandatory to the new champ, certainly not the first year. Look at Wilder, he still doesn't have a mandatory a year after beating Stiverne. Fury had to fight Klit because of a contract clause demanding a rematch if Klit lost. Except with the IBF.
