Comments Thread For: Hearn: Usyk Likely To Fight For Vacant WBO Heavyweight Title

[TinAgeOfBoxing]

Ducks Povetkin, ducks Spong at the last minute with crooked PED lies and now will try to weasel a vacant WBO belt. Maybe Coceres can move up in weight again and fight for the WBO heavy title. WBO will sanction it.

[Marchegiano]

Who'd he be fighting? Parker?

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Fury is ranked #2

"Whomever wins their second bout December 7 in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia, must choose, however, between making a mandatory defense of the IBF title against Kubrat Pulev or a required defense of the WBO belt against Usyk, the former undisputed cruiserweight champion. Hearn assumes the winner, who also would own the WBA and IBO titles, would want to oppose the 38-year-old Pulev first."

Um...Why is it vacant? IBF is next, not WBO. More smoke and mirrors from Eddie.

I could have swore that was sorted out already and it’s ibf mando up first and wbo afterward

[chico malo ali]

The crappy wbo might as well strip Ruiz now and give usyk the belt!

[FreezeIzGawd]

Why aren’t AJ fans saying anything about this guys plan to PRE DUCK a challenger!!!

He is basically saying Pulev is the easier fight so we are taking that one!!!

If Wilder went on record as saying he PREPLANNED to DUCK A CONTENDER y’all would be crying like newborns but this cat is saying it UPFRONT and it’s cool!!!

YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS SHYT UP!!!

[Stiff-Hard-Jab]

Fast Eddie will find a way to F things up. He always does.

[Larry the boss]

Only applies to a unification. Neither Ruiz or Wilder have unified the division.

Unified =having more then 1 belt

This is BS there is a priority system for mandatory defenses the bodies work together you don't have to choose Hearns a worm
