WBO President: No More Exceptions, Joshua MUST Face Usyk Next

Big Fights> BELTS! Drop that BULLSH^T Belt and go make the biggest fights in boxing! F^ck the WBO! AJ vs Fury for the WBC, WBA, IBF, Ring and Lineal, if that is not truly Undisputed then I don't know WTF is

Didn't the WBO do this with May-Pac and they ended up not being part of that mega fight? Do they really want to make the same mistake with this mega fight?

I know, and I actually like that about the WBO, I genuinely don't remember when that wad exactly. Same. I've always been a vocal supporter of that rule.

Let the first fight happen so there is atleast an undisputed. If Fury won he would gain 3 more belts so would have no qualms relinquishing one,it’s not like he hasn’t in the past I hear you, but would Usyk be happy waiting for his shot only to have the undisputed champion throw his title to the side and force him to fight for a vacant belt? Obviously there are competing demands here that complicate the issue.

It wouldn’t stop a Usyk fight if it’s put in the contract that the winner faces Usyk next . Even in a two fight deal . There doesn’t need to be a must direct rematch if both parties agree to it . Yeah, it would be if that is somehow ironed out, the challenge would be everyone agreeing and following through with the contractual agreement.

Usyk became mandatory the day he stated he was moving up to Heavyweight. It's how the WBO works. We've seen the rule done countless times in the lower weight classes, just never at heavyweight. I know, and I actually like that about the WBO, I genuinely don't remember when that wad exactly.

I would probably drop the WBO if I was AJ. Was Usyk even mandatory when Andy Ruiz was the champion? But I kinda get it from the WBOs pov. What if Fury beats AJ and there's a rematch clause? It would be unfair to keep the mandatory challenger waiting even longer. Let the first fight happen so there is atleast an undisputed. If Fury won he would gain 3 more belts so would have no qualms relinquishing one,it’s not like he hasn’t in the past

If AJ doesn’t vacate after Hearn has constantly said he would, then it’s the biggest duck EVER! Fight fury! Make the fight! Tyson Fury is not bigger than the UNDISPUTED TITLE. I think Joshua should overrule his accountant promoter, and think about his legacy 'Joshua I believe wants to fight Usyk'. The fight between Fury & Joshua should be for the undisputed title.

Joshua will face Usyk next, and Fury will face Wilder. If the past is anything to go by, waiting on Fury v Wilder and then Fury fighting again would mean the fight with AJ takes 2 more years lol

i wont watch unless the wbo is on the line

AJ vs Usyk, Fury vs Wilder, two winners face off for undisputed HW Title...sounds great to me.

Would be a real shame if they chose to do this. I think this will end up meaning Joshua takes on usyk next, which honestly may not be awful as long as AJ can win - because it hopefully means we could get a 100,000 sold out Wembley later in year for AJ fury

Fury and AJ are not the best HWs, yes, they are by promotion comps and some abc ratings, but in real life they are not, put any of them right now against the likes of Usyk, Makhmudov, Majidov, Jalolov, pffff i mean even Kunkabaev probably beats both of them Come on. Apart from Usyk, they're not proven in the professional ranks.

If Fury gets tied up with Wilder then sure, might as wll get it out of the way. If not and the opportunity to make AJ-Fury next presents itself, then I'd be fine with Joshua dumping the belt to make it, though for sure it'd be frustrating to have an opportunity to crown an undisputed champ go down the u-bend. Usyk being mandatory is ridiculous to begin with if I'm being perfectly honest. On the evidence of Joshua's fight just now vs Usyk's last fight against Chisora I've got no reason to believe that Usyk has more than a slim chance of winning.

Bin it if it is an issue. It would still be for the undisputed moniker if they chuck one of them in the bin. I suppose for Usyk personally it is win win. The winner of the fight will want to fight him and he will walk into a multi million pound fight for all the marbles. Well unless another title belt has to be binned, lol From Wilders angle you can understand why he is going to have to go through the courts otherwise he is well and truly frozen out. It would be the back end of 2022 before he could fight for a title and he will 37 years old.

I've been leaning this way myself, I think it's best to clear the mandatories. Thing is, Fury v Wilder is also dependent on getting crowds back, they won't stage the fight until that happens. I just do not want this fight to be done in an empty arena........ it deserves the proper promotion and a full stadium and event that will go down in history. Whether in the US or UK I just want fans and normality back before the fight happens. Both can have good fights before the big one. Joshua/Usyk and Fury/Wilder3 are both good fights to enjoy while waiting for crowds to come back. If Wilder and his team are trying to wait out the pandemic for that fight then I wouldn't even be bothered if they fight someone else.... I just want Fury to have a fight, any fight, he's been out too long and needs rounds.

I've maintained this stance for a while now and believe it is the best thing for both boxers and gives time for the vaccine to take effect and get maximum fans in attendance. Joshua should face Usyk in April at the latest....... Fury needs to get Wilder out of the equation....... Fury/Joshua in July/August.

AJ can sleep easy

I thought the WBO is a Top Rank belt If Bob says the fight is on, the WBO will comply
