From Fightnews.com:

Warriors Boxing Promotions along with partners Golden Boy Promotions and Golden Grain Promotions/Sampson Lewkowicz won today's WBO purse bid for the right to stage the fight between WBO heavyweight champion Shannon Briggs and mandatory challenger Sultan Ibragimov. The winning bid was $2,501,000, which outdistanced runnerup Don King Productions at $1,501,000.

If Sultan still has a pulse, he'll beat Briggs quite easily. He needs to come in better shape that what he did against Austin, though.

Looks like he came in about 10 pounds over his regular fighting weight in the Austin fight. Over-confidence?

That is a pretty quick return for Briggs. I bet it gets pushed back a few months.
