Rimer Boxe was the sole bidder for Gustave Tamba's mandatory defense of the EBU silver super middleweight title against Jose Luis Navarro.
Tamba, 20-1, stopped Navarro, 13-2, in two rounds in their first fight and hasn't expressed any interest in a rematch.
Rimer Boxe has penciled in January 25 in Madrid as the potential date, but there is more than a fair chance that Tamba will relinquish the title.

Promoter Rosanna Conti Cavini is planning to stage the vacant EBU silver heavyweight title between Italian champion Eduardo Giustini, 17-3, and his Swedish counterpart, Pezhman Seifkhani, 17-1, on either January 24 or 31 in Florence, Italy.
RCC won the purse bid with a bid of only 8,100 euros, but there could be much bigger purses in the pipeline for the winner.
