Andy Cruz has officially landed his first title shot.

On Thursday, at the IBF’s headquarters in Springfield, New Jersey, purse bids took place for Cruz vs. Raymond Muratalla (23-0, 17 KOs). Cruz’s promoter, Matchroom, and Top Rank, Muratalla’s handlers, were the sole bidders.

Matchroom came out with the winning bid, putting up $888,888. Top Rank’s bid was $550,000. In total, current IBF lightweight champion, Muratalla, is entitled to 65 percent of that bid, which is $577, 777. Cruz would pocket the remaining 35 percent, totaling $311, 110.

Cruz, the former two-time Olympic gold medalist became Muratalla’s mandatory challenger following a fifth-round stoppage win over Hironori Mishiro on June 14 at the Theater in New York’s Madison Square Garden.

Muratalla won the IBF 'interim' title against Zaur Abdullaev on May 10 at Pechanga Arena in San Diego. The 28-year-old was later elevated to full champion as Vasiliy Lomachenko, who held the full version of that belt, retired.

Matchroom will announce when and where their matchup will take place.
