Comments Thread For: Usyk Asks IBF For An Exception To Maintain His Undisputed Crown

[A.B Counterhooks]

Pay up Hrgovic and guarantee him a shot against the winner of the rematch then, if the man waited 2 years already ,another 8-12 months shouldn't be a problem lol if the $ is right ofc.

wow ducking hrgovic to fight a guy he already knocked the crap out of

Let Hrg fight DDD for the IBF belt. Then AJ can take it off Hrg, or Dubois, straight afterwards.
It's great marketing for the winner of Usyk-Fury 2 to get it on with Joshua for Undisputed.
If it's Fury-AJ then that's a huge stadium fight in London or Cardiff. Atmosphere electric.

Marketing as in

The real Undisputed Champion vs Some fake Email champion in a fight to determine who will be Undisputed?

IBF needs to use common sense here. Usyk fights everyone. Let him rematch Fury then make the mando.

Fans want one champ in each division, especially at HWT.

Exactly, it's not like there's a risk of Usyk ducking Hrgovic or....anyone really.

Obviously Eddie is going to be working hard behind the scenes to get Usyk stripped though. He already has Hrgovic/AJ pencilled in.

If Usyk doesnt get the exception. What's the point in fighting Fury again ? It wont be for undisputed 4 belts which was the point!

Maybe ask Turki for an exception from Fury to fight Hrgy but only if be beats Dubious cos no one needs to see a rerun of that or AJ again.

This is what screws up boxing with fans, what is the point of a Hergovich or Dubois being a world titlist if in reality they are probably the 4th best boxer in the division - at best.
It makes not sense at all, the sanctioners are the worst thing about the sport, its throwback nonsense lining the pockets of old guys. Nobody cares about the other fight until the actual best boxers have settled their score.

Fury v Usyk would need to be a trilogy to settle that score.

As far as im concerned, this past fight for grand unified and undisputed with one guy losing their O settled the score.

The 2 best boxers at the mo are Usyk and Parker...FIGHT!!!

I respect the IBF for enforcing mandatories. If Hrgovic agrees to a financial incentive and a guarantee then I don’t see an issue. Hopefully Daryl Peoples makes grants an exception due to the historical significance of the rematch!

Look up how many times the IBF ordered Errol Spence Jr to face a mandatory since he won it in 2017... Once, vs Carlos Ocampo in 2018. That's it.

They then waited to order Ennis until Crawford v Spence was made so they could strip the winner as soon as the rematch clause for that was activated.

Now they're set to strip another undisputed champion. Tell me again how they're consistent about enforcing mandatories when they let Spence skip his for nearly 6 years?

Fook belt groups. Fook trinkets.

Regardless of what the IBF does here Usyk is #1 & thats all anyone should gaf about.
