Usyk is getting Joshua. That means the WBA mandatory is next.

Trevor Bryan is going to get knocked out by Mike Tyson. So it will be Mike Tyson vs Anthony Joshua in the biggest money fight in boxing history.

im going to go with eric crumble out of nowhere!

[just the facts]

Who are they going to pick as their mandatory contender?

There’s six candidates:

WBA champion Trevor Bryan.

WBA champion in recess Manuel Charr

WBA Gold Champion Robert Helenius

Top rated contender not named Usyk.... Bogdan Dinu.

Bryan is probably the biggest fight just because of the whole undefeated American thing but I’m personally rooting for Charr since he’s a fringe top 20ish contender at cruiserweight.

Dinu would also be fun because I would want to see the announcers explaining why a Kubrat Pulev knockout victim is getting Joshua.

All the options are awful though.

CAN’T WAIT!

Be careful here, it wasn't that long ago you posted that Crawford was fighting Pac and all of the Crawford detractors need to STFU. You remember that post, the one you got absolutely embarrassed in all the way to the point you killed the thread.

In general, I would agree. But in this particular case, Joshua hasn't defended the WBA title in 3 years.

But the WBA still gets sanctioning fees from all these interim, in-recess, Gold, etc. champions.

Weren't there lots of weirdos here reporting AJ is gonna vacate? Yeah that aint happening. He has wanted undisputed for the longest. How ****in dumb can you be? The casuals know.

If Wilder v Fury was to go ahead, can we assume the WBC would call a mandatory for the winner's next fight?
