Biyarslanov Heads Home to Chechnya as IBF 140-Pound Title Fight Falls Off Canelo-Mbilli Card

The clock beat everybody. Arthur Biyarslanov is going home without a fight.

The unbeaten Eye of the Tiger super lightweight (21-0, 17 KOs) has left Riyadh for home in Chechnya. No late replacement was found for Lindolfo Delgado (24-0, 16 KOs), so the vacant IBF 140-pound title fight is off Saturday's Oct. 31 Canelo-Mbilli card.

"A late replacement was being sought for Biyarslanov with less than 5 days until fight night, unfortunately the timeline ran out," the @BearKambosos account (Jimmy Kambosos) posted on X.

ESPN's Mike Coppinger and World Boxing News also reported the fight is off.

Biyarslanov's camp had been looking for a way to save the night. His trainer, Samuel Decarie-Drolet, told FightsATW the team was "working on a B-plan" and wanted to reschedule the title fight with Delgado. The IBF has not commented, and no new date or opponent has been announced.

The Kimster's read

Biyarslanov did everything right. He flew in, settled in and stayed ready, and still walks away with nothing but a long flight. A vacant world title shouldn't sit in limbo for long, so the IBF's next move matters. Until it makes one, this belt has no date.
