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

[Liondw]

Ideally I'd prefer seeing Usyk vs Wilder and the winner fighting the winner of Fury-Joshua, but that's not happening.

Oh well, I guess for the future it would be better if Fury and AJ fought in front of a big crowd, as Canelo and Saunders did.

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.

he has the WBA

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.

Wishful thinking buddy
Why vacate?
AJ can just fight Usyk
Then Fight Fury in December
It's a no brainer
48 hrs is ample time to send an email showing details of a pre-signed fight to the WBO
It's not that hard

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

Actually they asked last week for a resolution and the WBO said if no deal this week they'd order the fight. This is just a formality

Exactly.

He has had a year of trying to make the Fury-Joshua fight.

AJ fans relieved he doesn't have to face Fury.

The only entertainment mis-matchroom provides is when Eddie's cherry picks go wrong otherwise they're formality wins.

Yes, it's all very simple if you assume Joshua beats Usyk and Fury beats Wilder. Then Joshua-Fury can go down in December or early next year and the fight is even bigger. But these are dangerous opponents and their promoters know that. If the mandatory for Joshua were Chris Arreola, he'd just do it.

Not wishful thinking on my end. I just want to see fights. Joshua-Usyk is great. Joshua-Fury is great.

Okay I know the WBA have become a standing joke due to there regular/gold/interim & super champion's, but the truth is that the WBO are still the fledgling's of World boxing sanctioning bodies & as far as I'm concerned mean very little. When I started following the sport all we had was the WBA/WBC & life was far more simplistic. No way will I pay PPV for Joshua/Usick unless it's for undisputed. "Common sense needs to prevail here"!

Had to look up the definitions for gormless and numpty which are both English slang words. Both words have similar definitions, referring to ****** and unintelligent people. So I could say you were being redundant but I choose to think you were using repetition for emphasis.
