On May 29, the WBO Championship Committee issued a purse bid order for a Joshua Buatsi vs. Anthony Yarde interim light heavyweight title bout. The Committee outlined specific provisions, most notably granting Yarde 72 hours to personally confirm in writing to the WBO whether he would participate. The time elapsed without formal communication from Yarde prompting the WBO to determine that he was uninterested, and therefore, unavailable to fight. The Committee has now ordered an interim title match between Buatsi and Willy Hutchinson. The camps have ten days to negotiate a deal or a purse bid will ensue.
