The 27-year-old Bornea is next in line for a world title shot after he made quick work of Mohammed Obbadi of Morroco last January.

The IBF belt is currently held by Argentina’s Fernando Martinez, who scored a stunning upset over Filipino star Jerwin Ancajas last February.

Martinez and Ancajas are set for a rematch on October 8.
