AJ to vacate the WBO

[SplitSecond]

Don’t believe it until it happens.

Bookmarked........ We can all laugh at TS and his very good "source" when the fight gets made.

Bookmark it, if i’m wrong then so be it. Who cares? Are you 14?

As i said, it’s not something I’m certain of. But considering the same source told me Saunders was joining Eddie Hearn the week before anyone heard about it and I posted it here, then they have been reliable before.

Whether this turns out to be true or not, who knows. It’s not a competition about being right or wrong, I was just posting what I heard.

Being "right" is very significant when claiming you have inside info. I mean anyone can claim a "source" told them something.

You being a well known Joshua "hater" makes it very questionable already.

I’ve also heard the same thing from a VERY good reputable source which is my own mind. Listening to eddies interviews over the past few days it’s becoming more evident they are going to vacate. Eddies even got Whyte trying to convince fans that Usyk is no threat

If he does indeed do this then I’m off the AJ train!! This is one almighty DUCK!

"Usyk is such a mismatch, that I'm going to drop the belt and fight someone else...for my fans!"

[DaNeutral.]

Time will tell. If they do make that call it wouldn’t make any sense to me. Maybe Joshua is sick of chasing undisputed when the 2 guys wrestling over the last belt now have both shown they would rather mess Joshua about than actually fight him.

but when you hold a belt the only reasons to drop it is either to pursue a big money fight instead or to a avoid a threat, Joshua hasn’t been the type to avoid threats so far in his career and there isn’t any money fights to be taking at the mo with Fury and Wilder busy sucking each other’s balls.

if it happens I can only presume they deem Usyk a bit too tricky for their liking when they still feel a Fury mega fight could be done later in the year for mega money and a loss now does some damage to that fight.

so I would have to call it a duck, if it happens. But from what I’m hearing so far Joshua v Austin is next and I’ve heard nothing to the contrary.

Who the fck is Austin? Is that autocorrect, or a popular British heavyweight?

And it would 100% be a duck. You don't face 100% of your mandatories when they're Takam, Povetkin and Pulev (all north of 37) and then drop the title the first time a mover comes along.

Why would Hearn be worried about this? They’re both Matchroom. Hearn could have them unify at a later date when crowds return hard. It’s better than the WBO purse bid. Let’s see if offers are turned down

Usyk is not with Matchroom, his contract ran out after the Chisora fight and he hasn’t renewed

[Combat Talk Radio]

A good source has told me it’s looking like he’s going to
drop the WBO in the next couple of weeks. Doesn’t fancy the Usyk fight..

Not a good look for someone supposedly hellbent on being undisputed.

Obviously i can’t say for sure, It’s not my information. It’s the same source that told me Saunders was leaving Warren for Eddie Hearn about a week before it was public knowledge or announced. I posted it on here at the time.

Look on the bright side: maybe it's the start of a revolt against the WBO.
