The WBC has ordered Carlos Adames to make his next defense of the middleweight world title against mandatory challenger Meiirim Nursultanov, putting the two sides on a deadline to reach an agreement.
The WBC has given the respective teams until October 20 to negotiate a deal for the title fight.
Adames holds the middleweight championship, while Nursultanov enters the process as the WBC’s No. 1 contender. The order puts the mandatory challenger in position to challenge for the title.
For Adames, the next step is now centered on reaching an agreement with Nursultanov’s side before the deadline. If the two parties can reach terms, the fight can move forward toward an official announcement.
Nursultanov’s position as the top contender gives him a clear route to a world-title opportunity. The WBC’s order formally places him next in line to challenge Adames for the middleweight championship.
At this stage, no fight date, venue, or other event details have been confirmed in the information provided.
The October 20 deadline will therefore be an important date for both camps. The coming weeks should determine whether the two sides can agree to terms and finalize the mandatory title fight.
For now, Adames remains the champion and Nursultanov the leading challenger, with negotiations set to decide the next chapter of the WBC middleweight title picture.
