Comments Thread For: Joshua, Hearn To Meet on Tuesday To Plan Out Fights For 2018

Yeah, that's what I mean by it being a mess. Ortiz is out, Pulev fighting Oquendo for the regular, Charr and Ustinov fighting a WBA regular final eliminator. Povetkin and Hammer in a WBO eliminator. Then you get down to Miller, Hearn said the WBA will tell him who the WBA mandatory is in 2 weeks, which is pretty much straight after the Miller/Wach fight.

So the winner of Charr and Ustinov will pick up the vacant belt after the winner of Pulev Oquendo fights AJ ?

EDIT:

I just found this.


“Chris told me that Pulev will be fully recovered in a few weeks and that we could do the fight either in the U.S. or Bulgaria early next year. We’d like to do it here and our team is headed to Columbia this weekend for the annual WBA Convention. While there is a WBA resolution directly on point mandating that Oquendo fight Ustinov if Briggs fell out as an opponent, Ustinov announced that he is fighting Manuel Charr and under the WBA rules, he is not available. The next guy in line in the rankings is Pulev, and we are planning on lobbying the WBA to order that fight.”

Takam was the IBF mando.

Thanks then the WBO would probably serve up their mando.

Joshua isn't the WBO champion.

LOL, no that would be far too simple. Oquendo and Pulev fight for the regular, winner of Charr and Ustinov fight the winner of that. Whoever comes out of that lot will fight Joshua, at some point

Going by that statement I sourced Ustinov is going to miss out as he's elected to face Charr. I haven't read a confirmation by the WBA but I haven't attempted to source it.

He's gonna fight Wilder 3 times.

Just read Hearn is meeting Povetkins team in Monaco as winner of Povetkin-Hammer will likely be AJ's WBA mandatory. The WBO have also denied povetkin-hammer is a WBO preside denied povetkin-Hammer is a WBO eliminator.

A AJ-Povetkin fight would be interesting, also with Povetkin promoter being super rich would he manage to get AJ to Russia to fight.
