Comments Thread For: Joshua-Usyk: WBO Gives Hearn 48 Hours To Provide Proof of Fury Deal

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Another layer has been added to the continued fallout in efforts to produce an undisputed heavyweight champion. The World Boxing Organization has issued a "Show Cause" to promoter Eddie Hearn, who must provide in the next 48 hours verifiable proof of a forthcoming showdown between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. Failure to do so will leave the WBO to order a mandatory title fight between Joshua and number-one contender Oleksandr Usyk (18-0, 13KOs).

Oleksander Usyk is showing everyone how to enforce a mandatory.

Whadda mess!

Should have got the WBC belt they'd let him have years and only have to defend against Matchroom fighters.
Eddie needs to buy a sanctioning body the way Warren, ARum and Haymon did.

Eddie Hearn is a scumbag.. karma is biting him good

Eddy has a prince. Isn't that proof?

48 hours isn't much time. Feels like Joshua will either vacate the title or get an extension. If Wilder has to fight Fury again, Usyk is a dangerous opponent to have in the interim. And if Joshua loses, then he has to rematch Usyk to get the shine back. Then we're talking about Fury-Joshua in late 2022.

This is just a formality before they order the fight. They're already negotiating the Usyk fight

[ShaneMosleySr]

The arbitration news broke Monday. Usyk’s lawyers sent a letter the WBO on Tuesday. The WBO sent a letter to Hearn on Wednesday.
