Unsurprisingly, Alvarez declined, <a href=\"https:\/\/ringmagazine.com\/en\/news\/who-will-fight-osleys-iglesias-jaime-munguia\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">citing his ongoing recovery from elbow surgery<\/a> that will cause him to miss his traditional Cinco de Mayo bout. The sanctioning body then moved on to no. 4 Jaime Munguia, whose promoters <a href=\"https:\/\/ringmagazine.com\/en\/news\/jaime-munguia-rejects-ibf-world-title-offer-osleys-iglesias-search-continues\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u201crefused the fight offer\u201d<\/a> within hours of Eye of the Tiger Management accepting it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Next up is the rankings is Callum Simpson, whose stoppage loss to Troy Williamson will bounce him from the list as soon as it updates. No. 6 Hamzah Sheeraz already has offers for WBO and WBC title fights against the much more well-known Diego Pacheco and Christian Mbilli, respectively, so the smart money seems to be on no. 7 Pavel Silyagin. The 32-year-old Russian has never managed to break into the title picture despite a number of solid wins in his home country, including a near-sweep of previously undefeated Argentinean Pablo Exequiel Corzo in July.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">He and Iglesias (14-0, 13 KO) share a common opponent in Evgeny Shvedenko, who drew with Silyagin in 2023 before suffering a gnarly one-punch KO at Iglesias\u2019 hands a fight later.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Hopefully either Silyagin or no. 8 Simon Zachenhuber says yes and we avoid another Full Hrgovic.
