    Hearn has suggested they will both be called around the same time meaning the winner of the rematch will have to vacate one of the two.
    I doubt that

      Will be the WBO that gets dropped, so they can keep the titles with Matchroom. Usyk vs Parker for the title.

          I think Usyk is getting a little ahead of himself
          I thought he looked ok , although it wasn’t the biggest splash ever made by a boxer
          My thinking is he needs a couple more fights at heavyweight to actually see if he belongs
          Not sure going for a top dog in the division is the smart move here

            What he actually said:


            Wilder's belt is his favorite

            Andy has the most belts

            Joshua brings the most money

              Yeah I agree, if Ruiz retains Haymon/PBC would definitely insist on dropping the WBO over the IBF.

              And if AJ retains, he’ll drop the WBO for the reasons you stated.

              And thirdly I think both would much rather fight Pulev as opposed to Usyk.

              I’m not convinced it will be Usyk-Parker though. Fury is #2 and I’m not convinced the Wilder rematch definitely happens next. I could see it being Fury-Usyk especially considering Bob and Frank’s relationship with the WBO, and if that fight went to bids Arum/ESPN could likely blow Hearn/DAZN out the water based on what they’ve been paying Fury.

                Andy will be busy fighting Wilder for the Undisputed.

                Fury will be busy fighting Brock Lesnar and Big Show.

                Usyk vs. Joshua is actually the best fight he can make.

                  If AJ wins, i reckon IBF first (pulev before end of March) and then Usyk in a summer monster at Wembley. This is why Wilder is whinging about being contracted to fight Fury. He is going to have to fight Ortiz, Fury and Whyte before any unification and one of those will beat him.

                    If AJ wins I could see the ABC’s working something out, cause of size of the sanctioning fee’s. And team AJ won’t mind either as they’ve hid behind mandatories before. He’d likely smash Pulev, I think Usyk possibly beats him though, if he can survive the first few rounds, AJ will be blowing out his ass after 5/6 rounds with Usyk due to all his feints, angles, movements etc. I’d actually pick both Pulev and Usyk to beat Ruiz if he manages to upset AJ again.

                    As I’ve said I’m not convinced Fury-Wilder 2 actually happens next. I really hope it does as it’s the #1 and #2 in the division, but will Arum and Haymon really work together?

                    Whyte ain’t fighting anytime soon...

                      I think Fury and Joshua, in that order, would be the worst possible matchups for Usyk.

                      As flawed as I think Joshua is, I just don’t see a guy without great power or a great chin as being likely to survive long enough to exhaust or outpoint him.
