BoxingScene.com has been advised that the World Boxing Council has ordered immediate negotiations between WBC super middleweight champion David Benavidez (20-0, 17 KOs) and top contender Anthony Dirrell (32-1-1, 24 KOs).
If they are unable to reach an agreement during the free negotiations period, then the sanctioning body will hold a purse bid on Friday June 22.
Last year, the Benavidez and Dirrell were scheduled to fight each other for the vacant WBC title - but Dirrell withdrew with an injury, and he was later replaced by Ronald Gavril.
