Comments Thread For: Joshua Ordered By WBO To Make Mandatory After Povetkin

[The Big Dunn]

WBO has no mandatory challenger but are requiring AJ to make a mandatory defense in March 2019, ahead of his already proposed April 2019 date he gave to Wilder.

Looks like Hearn gave the WBO a huge check so they would do this so he could use this as an excuse should he and AJ decide again not to fight Wilder.

That fits nicely into Hearn's plan for AJ v Dillian Whyte in April, which he's said is the fight if it's not Wilder, which it won't be.

Whyte is ranked number 2 right now behind Povetkin. With Hearn's influence, they will just bump Whyte up to no.1 after AJ beats Povetkin. Then Hearn has his fight and justifying it by saying it's a mandatory.

That's why they already planted the seed saying about not being sure about making a final eliminator, because they already know Whyte is going to have that fight. In terms of dates, Hearn will just get an extension if needs be.

Good post. greenk sent.

Lmao you can't tell me Hearn doesn't have these sanctioning bodies in his pocket. Hearn let it slip in thaboxingvoice video that Joshua was fighting Whyte in April.

Maybe Beyontay Wildher will fight in WBO eliminator to deserve a shot at Joshua? What you guys think?

Lmao what a joke

Pulev vs Hughie Fury will decide the IBF mandatory, and that's happening October 27th. My guess is that the mandatory will be due by the end of 2019/early 2020.

There won't be an undisputed champion until 2020 at the earliest, and I'm not even considering the ****ty deals they'll offer Wilder/Fury to delay the fights even further. Sorry folks!

Wilder has a contact for April. All he has to do is sign it .

Hahahaha, what?

There’s no mandatory but they are enforcing it next?

The circus rolls on

Usyk is the WBO mandatory. He is the WBO Super Champion and has the right to enforce the mandatory when stepping up to Heavyweight. Read the WBO rules !

What would that have to do with a unification bout at Wembley ? Wilder will not be an option bc hes taking a Fury fight which he has a good chance of losing so a two fight deal is in place .

Whyte is the number one ranked guy in the WBO so who cares if hes a mandatory or not and then theres Usyk so ?.
