Thanks @steem-beat appreciate it. I agree its not looking so good for May 5th anymore. I read the same thing earlier today that Martirosyan has been offered the fight, but like you pointed out, hasn't fought in 2 years and isn't ranked, etc. so not the most ideal candidate for sure.
I hope he doesn't get stripped either. He's hasn't ducked anybody and has always taken care of his mandatories as Champ; he's obviously in a unique situation and I agree I hope it doesn't cost him the IBF belt in the end. Still hope he can fight on May 5, even if it is a no-name at this point.
