The current IBF champion is undefeated Gervonta Davis.

Don't know anything about Fonesca but give Dib little chance against Davis. Good luck too him if he wins though.

Fonseca gets to go straight to a Davis fight...he will be facing him on the Mayweather undercard. Neither Fonseca nor Dib deserve a title shot in my opinion. Dib seems to have a good relationship with the IBF

Yeah I was about to say how in the hell is Dib ranked #3 by anybody? That's insanity. He's done nothing of note in a long time.

The IBF, I think more than the other major sanctioning bodies, have a tendency to recycle their former champs and title challengers. Dib hasn't scored a good win in years and was quickly knocked out the last time he fought a notable opponent.

there is something to be said about the boxrec ratings, they aren't perfect but you have to stay active
