Its possible if Usyk convincingly beats Bellew &Whyte then the demand is there. Or Usyk fights the winner of Wilder/Fury instead by end of 2019.

After work his way up won't he like the great evander holyfeild did on the late 80s whyte wilder fury fights be the next for Joshua if he can get past the Russian next week

[JakeTheBoxer]

Can happen IF Usyk beats a decent heavyweight contender . For example, Whyte.

[EnglishOxide]

Lots of people wanting that shot, a long time to wait.

Sept 2018 - Povetkin
April 2019 - Wilder/Fury winner or Whyte
Late 2019 - Pulev/Hughie winner
Early 2020 - Usyk?

Usyk is the WBO "super" champion, which means he has the right to a mandatory shot at AJ's WBO title as soon as he moves up to HW, if that's what he wants.

He'll probably have at least one HW tune-up first, but he won't fight the winner of Wilder/Fury before AJ. Why take a risk like that going for only one title, when he can fight for 3 belts and make a hell of a lot more money against AJ?

[Vinnykin]

Can any one tell me how the WBO works in regards to getting a shot at the champion above you in weight?

If Usyk takes a tune-up does that override that rule?
