Brant team wins WBA purse bid

Greg Cohen Promotion, representatives of middleweight Rob Brant, won on Monday the right to carry out the fight against world champion Ryota Murata for the middleweight title of the World Boxing Association (WBA), which was ordered by the Championships Committee for the organization. The minimum bid was $200,000 and the Brant team offered $202,114. Teiken Promotion refrained from presenting a figure and, consequently, lost the auction.

The date proposed by Greg Cohen Promotions for the contest was October 27th, 2018, in Minneapolis, New York or Atlantic City.
The bid was held in Panama City and was directed by Aurelio Fiengo, a member of the board of directors of the WBA. The parties have 15 calendar days, from August 13th, to submit the signed contract.
