It was announced by the EBU on May 3 that parties - Sauerland and Hennessy Sports - had agreed but apparently there was more to discuss and thus we might get purse bids.
 
Pulev, 17-0, has been inactive since knocking out Alexander Ustinov in September of last year while waiting for the fog to clear on the IBF eliminators.
 
Fury, 21-0, knocked out Steve Cunningham April 20 in a IBF eliminator for the # 2 spot in the ratings.
