Thammanoon Niyomtrong and Hasanboy Dusmatov will learn their fate by month’s end.
The long-ago ordered WBA strawweight title fight will head to a May 27 purse bid hearing. The session will end a development nearly four months in the making.
It will also lead to the sport’s longest reigning titlist entering the ring for the first time in two years.
The minimum accepted bid is $80,000. The winning amount will be split 75/25 in favor of Thailand’s Niyomtrong as the defending titleholder.
