And Ortiz didnt become Joshua mandatory until August 4th when Joshua had already agreed to fight Pulev after Klitchko . This was confirmed in March that Pulev was next in line , thats SIX months before Ortiz became mandatory in the WBA , you clown.

Start reading my previous posts idiot you are just being lazy and annoying.
Ortiz was ordered a mandatory as of January 11th, 2017. He was promised the winner of Joshua vs Klitchko within 120 days of the fight. He had not been caught doping since 2014. Here is the evidence from a trusted site...

Really you could have saved your energy and just read my previous posts. Laboring over all those rules and regulations for nothing. Here some advice don’t stand up to defend Hearn, you will be let down every time...
