Ortiz is going to not being the mandatory without going through Hrgovic which he ultimately loses that fight no doubt.
The IBF refused to answer whether tonight's fight was a final eliminator or not. Reminds me a lot of Breazeale-Molina. If I had to guess, Martin would have become mandatory if he won tonight, but since he didn't, I agree Ortiz will likely have to face Hrgovic.

He shouldnt have to fight filip since he beat the leading contender, again the ibf need to say something
All jokes aside, if Fury becomes undisputed champion and then retires, it's very likely Wilder wins the vacant WBC, King Kong wins the vacant IBF, and then they do unify.
I think wilders path is easier than Ortiz, Wilder probably would just have to swat Whyte, Ortiz may have to go through a Hrgovic which I think is a tough out potentially.

Agreed. It'll be interesting to see what the IBF does. I called and emailed numerous times and they absolutely refused to confirm whether tonight was a semi-final eliminator or a final eliminator.

It wasn’t a final elimination bout that was already established.
