Location : Hamburg, Germany
IBF - HEAVYWEIGHT (OVER 200 LBS) Voluntary Eliminator for #2
Promoter : Sauerland Event
Boxer Kubrat Pulev Nat BGR VS Boxer Derek Chisora NatZWE
IBF Rule: 9.F. Voluntary Elimination Bout
Nothing in this Rule shall preclude promoters from negotiating a bout between any
two (2) of the top five (5) leading available contenders for the #1 or #2 positions, which
bout is subject to the approval of the Championships Chairman and the President. The
IBF/USBA encourages promoters to negotiate such voluntary elimination bouts.
If I am reading this correctly, the Pulev vs Chisora bout is for the #2 position and the higher ranked Parker vs Takam bout if the #1 position.
I can quite work out if the #1 and #2 square off against each other, but I assume the #1 will have first crack at title and #2 be next crack.
Hence there is currently no rating for 1 and 2 in the HW division: http://www.ibfusbaregistration.com/ibfusba_02APR2014/index.php/ratings/ibf-ratings
