Fresh off his stoppage win over Lamont Peterson this past Saturday night, IBF Welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr has been ordered to face Carlos Ocampo next, according to Dan Rafael of espn.com
The IBF ordered Tom Brown and Ocampo promoter Zanfer Promotions to begin negotiations immediately. If the sides do not make a deal by Feb. 22, a purse bid will be ordered to determine promotional control of the bout.
In the event of a purse bid, Spence would be entitled to 85 percent of the winning bid, and Ocampo would get the remaining 15 percent, a smaller figure than had he fought an eliminator to become No. 1 or No. 2.
