[trippleupper]

What the phucck is going on with you @boxingscene.com???
You are editing words like m.a.g.a.zine just because it may look like a Donald T thing?
Why have you edited the name of the great champion Ridd.i.c.k. Bowe? Just because your AI bots flagged it as not so politically correct? Wake up, morons, let people express their feelings. Are you a part of the new Mccarthyism of our times???
Spineless!

I guess y'all boxing experts know little or nothing about boxing....it took several years for fury and Usyk to fight for undisputed....

Now you think Usyk will not vacate one of the belts for a rematch? LMAO...What if Usyk lose the rematch? Nobody will remember him as undisputed if Fury got undisputed in the rematch reason Usyk did not even try to force IBF hands .

In the ring when it's announced for the ' IBF heavyweight championship of the world' the crowd should either laugh or boo, or both ...another boxing farce !

[bigBANGbear09]

Why didn’t the IBF grant Usyk an exemption?

Usyk purely didn't want an exemption...it's no brainier fighting for undisputed in a rematch...what if he lose to Fury in the rematch ? Usyk will be sent to the trenches and Fury will have a world tour and be remember forever

Simple. Win a title, refuse a mandatory, get stripped. Any questions!!

AJ better not sleep on DDD. Yes, Daniel Dubois maybe lacking in the self-confidence department but he more than compensates for it with both his chin and power. I would dare to say that Daniel Dubois has a much better chin than Anthony Joshua.

The IBF's methodology is a huge reason why they constantly have trash mandatory challengers like William Scull, Huseyin Cinkara, Michael Eifert, Karen Chukhadzhian (yes, he's getting another mandatory shot at Ennis if Ennis beats Avanesyan), or Daniel DuBois. Their rankings are terrible because fighters don't want to fight for their belt because they do nonsense like what they've done here today.

It's a systemic failure and it shows that they don't bring any value to the sport of boxing. They should fold. The WBA, WBC, WBO, and IBO should fold too.

Lol I don't know where some of these guys come from either, but these top fighters don't deal with the IBF because, to your point, with all their influence it won't stop them from getting stripped or forced to face a mandatory. The IBF is literally going down the p4p to make this point.

It's crappy but that's kind of what we should appreciate because it opens the door for some of these guys under the radar.

The biggest problem with the IBF is that guys that lose should move aside for the others to wait their 4 years for undisputed.

Dubois is on a streak and Joshua is leaving the rebuilding stage. Dubois is about fight someone he's looked up to for years. It's real lol.

This is also Usyk probably saying he's done with HW after Usyk-Fury 2.

i believe that wherever Usick is at right now he has got a grin on his face and an attitude of "whatever guys " about it all but Fury he may feel a little bit cheated about the hand over..

I agree and you are right. This is a very risky fight for Anthony Joshua because if he just so happens to slip up once it could be curtains for him.
