Denzel Bentley is reportedly seeking to postpone his mandatory title defense against Yoenli Hernandez after purse bids have already concluded. Bentley has lodged an appeal with the WBO's grievance committee to request a voluntary title defense instead of facing Hernandez next, though he has not vacated his championship.

Warriors Boxing secured the promotional rights for the mandatory bout with a minimum bid of $200,000, while Bentley's promoter Queensberry did not submit an offer. Boxing News 24 notes that the appeal appears to be a response to the unfavorable financial outcome of the purse bid.
