Frank Sanchez and Daniel Dubois have been given a bit more time to work things out.

On Thursday, purse bids were expected to take place for an IBF eliminator between the two heavyweight contenders. However, The Ring has been informed that it’s been postponed for one week as both sides continue to hammer out a deal. The sanctioning body has given both parties until November 20.

A victory by Dubois could place Ring and undisputed champion Oleksandr Usyk in an awkward position. Dubois (22-3, 21 KOs) was stopped twice by the Ukrainian, in 2023 and again last July, yet he would become Usyk's mandatory challenger if the fight takes place and his hand is raised.

The 33-year-old Cuban's career was badly sidetracked by Agit Kabayel last year. Despite heading into their fight as a sizable favorite, Sanchez (25-1, 18 KOs) was dropped twice before being stopped in the seventh.

He has since gotten back on track, but his lone win since that brutal loss came against journeyman Ramon Olivas Echeverria in February.
