Mick Hennessy, former promoter for WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, is not surprised that the unification clash with Anthony Joshua imploded last week.

Oleksandr Usyk will finally have his turn. A request for extension filed by promoter Eddie Hearn in response to a Show Cause letter calling for the current status of unified heavyweight titlist Anthony Joshua has been rejected by the World Boxing Organization (WBO). Hearn was required to explain to the sanctioning body where matters stood with Joshua’s pursuit of the undisputed heavyweight championship. Such a bout was previously accepted by the WBO as an exception to his otherwise honoring his overdue mandatory title defense versus Usyk. Friday’s deadline was instead met with correspondence seeking a delay until Monday morning, to which the WBO has stood firm on its original ruling on the matter.
