WBA orders Joshua vs Ortiz

WBA now officially orders 'Joshua vs Ortiz'



The World Boxing Association Championships Committee ordered the teams behind British Anthony Joshua, current Heavyweight Champion, and Cuban Luis Ortiz, number one in the ranking at more than 200 pounds, to start negotiations for a fight between them.

According to the resolution sent on January 11th, 2017, to both parties, it was reported that the winner of the Joshua-Klitschko fight, held on April 29th, 2017, had to face Ortiz after 120 days. 95 days have passed and, for this reason, the Championships Committee ordered to negotiate a fight between the British and Cuban boxers.

Op, sorry... I've made a thread by a mistake...

[Teetotaler]

Hell yeah. Lets do this

[Larry the boss]

oh ****..............Now Wilder can go ahead and get his mandatory out of the way and face the winner

Didn't the IBF order Joshua to defend against Pulev also? Why do these phony belt organizations do **** like this knowing he can only choose one which will lead the other to strip there title away from a guy who earned it the hard way. Now they can just give the title away to someone who didn't have to defeat the champ! This has corruption written all over it but that's nothing new!

[Robbie Barrett]

I thought he had to fight his IBF mandatory Pulev first? I hope he doesn't get stripped over this bull****.

If Ortiz still doesn't end up getting a title fight after this, he'll become the most feared man in boxing.
