Dear Champion Alem Begic:
Congratulations on your win over Nenad Stankovic on Saturday, June 9, 2018 at Porsche Arena in Linz, Austria for the vacant IBF Europe Light Heavyweight Championship. We wish you all the best for a long and illustrious career as the IBF Europe Light Heavyweight Champion.
You are expected to defend the Title against a credible opponent within 12 months. As you may know, there are no Europe ratings. The IBF will approve an opponent with an acceptable record. We would prefer an opponent that is not coming off of a knockout loss. Under no circumstances will the IBF allow the Championship to remain idle for more than 12 months or past June 9, 2019.
Once again congratulations and, if you have any questions feel free to contact me at the IBF/USBA office.
Sincerely,
____________________________________
