With Chagaev canceling, Wlad now has the opportunity to unify two of the other three belts in his next two-three fights. He can fight Chagaev in November or December since Chagaev will magically be ok from his stomach flu by then. Ibragimov has already stated his goal is to fight Wlad, so as long as he gets by Holyfield, that fight looks probable. I'm not familiar with the WBO though and assume he'll probably have to fight a mandatory before Wlad, which sucks. Meanwhile Wlad won't have to fight his IBF mandatory for a while since they are having a tournament that will take two nights of fights to complete. His schedule should be as follows and ONLY as follows
1) Chagaev
2) Ibragimov/IBF mandatory
3) Ibragimov/IBF mandatory
4) WBA mandatory
1) Chagaev
2) Ibragimov/IBF mandatory
3) Ibragimov/IBF mandatory
4) WBA mandatory
