There is an IBF light heavyweight title eliminator on Thursday night in Quebec.
Jean Pascal fights in his home country against German rival Micheal Eifert, with the winner in theory claiming the chance to take on current IBF title holder Artur Beterbiev.
However, the unified champion continues to be linked with an undisputed clash against Dmitry Bivol, meaning a mandatory challenge may have to wait.
Pascal's last fight came last May, when he beat Fanlong Meng, while Efert beat Adriano Sperandio in July 2022.
