hahahahahaha! OH! If it was Joshua they be pushing this so hard on the media! nice move Wlad.

So Joshua?

We now have some news on Ortiz. He vacated the WBA interim belt so does that mean he is no longer in the WBA ratings? Is he still the WBA #1 contender? Boxingrec has Ortiz in a WBA interim fight on Dec 10. So Ustinov is next behind Klitschko so are they fighting for the vacant belt or is he going to step in & fight Parker for the vacant WBO now that Team Parker is having financial issues? Klitschko could move it to Germany. He is ahead of Ruiz in the rankings... Will Parker now take the IBF fight with Joshua? That would leave Klitschko & Ruiz as the 2 top guys in the WBO if that happens... hahaha! It is anyone's guess what happens now... So if Wlad fights Parker that would leave Ruiz & Haye possibly fighting in a final eliminator. If Ortiz is not in the picture anymore I could see Wlad fighting Ustinov. I would love it if he fought Joshua. There is still hope for a blockbuster now but I doubt a Joshua fight would be in Germany. At some point Browne & Oquendo get title fights due to legal victories. If the WBA wants to get rid of the interim & regular champs all they need to do is finish the tourney. Wlad/Ustinov on one bracket fights the winner of Browne/Oquendo on the other. We could have one WBA champ by the spring. It will be interesting to see who Wlad is fighting in December. God I hope it is Ortiz or Joshua...

You're 100% right, we can have
Klitschko/Parker for WBO
Klitschko/Ruiz for WBO (if Parker fights Joshua)
Klitschko/Ortiz for WBA
Klitschko/Browne for WBA
Klitschko/Ustionv for WBA

Ahhhh!!!!
After the series of let-downs, I'm trying to not get excited. Really hoping it's Ortiz, but would be happy with Joshua. If it's Browne, I'm not even sure if I'll tune in as I can pretty much write the script for that one. The fact that it's in the bag but not announced tells me that it's either really big and needs a proper announcement, or that it's a joke and the news needs to be delivered in a way that can somehow save face.

There isn't enough time for a full training camp at this point, I have skepticism that it's a legitimate opponent. Unless they made a deal for AJ, which would be fantastic news.

Things are officially a ****ing mess now. Still better than Fury holding the titles ransom while on his long term coke binge though.

I have no idea what's going on anymore.
