The fight for the title of interim WBO world middleweight champion between Kazakhstani Zhanibek Alimkhanuly (11-0, 7 KOs) and Jaime Mungia (39-0, 31 KOs) from Mexico will be put up for auction, bbabo.net correspondent reports.

The World Boxing Organization (WBO) gave the boxers ten days to negotiate, but bbabo.net journalist Keith Idek reports that the parties were unable to agree on the deadline.

The former WBO junior middleweight champion has been offered two options for his next fight. The Tijuana native can either fight for the interim WBO middleweight title against Zhanibek Alimkhanuly or challenge undefeated WBC middleweight champion Jermall Charlo.

The deadline for Golden Boy Promotions and Zanfer Boxing, Mungui's co-promoters, to voluntarily enter into a deal with Alimkhanula's promoter Bob Arum's Top Rank, was Friday. As such, the WBO is expected to announce promotional bidding for the fight between Mungiya, ranked No. 1, and Alimkhanuly, who is ranked No. 2 by the WBO," the source said.
