The promoters of southpaw former junior welterweight (140 pounds) and welterweight (147 pounds) world champion Zab Judah (pictured above, at right) of Las Vegas and Kaizer Mabuza of South Africa are scheduled to be involved in a purse bid at the IBF headquarters in East Orange, N.J., on Thursday concerning the right to hold the organization's junior welterweight title between the two fighters.
Kathy Duva, CEO of Main Events, promotes the 33-year-old Judah (39-6, 26 KOs), and Branco Milenkovic, of South Africa, promotes the 30-year-old Mabuza (23-6-3, 14 KOs).
"The status is that right now, there is a purse bid scheduled for Thursday for that fight. Hopefully, the winner of that purse bid will put on the fight within 30 days," said IBF Championships Chairman, Lindsay Tucker.
"It is a 50-50 split of the earnings between the two fighters," said Tucker. "Kaizer is ranked No. 1 by the IBF, and Judah is No. 2. Where the fight will be held is up to the winning bidder."
