Comments Thread For: Joshua vs. Usyk Must Happen Within 180 Days, Says WBO Prez

Or if AJ vacates.

Hearn said he expects some belts to be vacant next year, even if AJ wins, so maybe AJ will vacate the WBO?

I don't see Fury fighting anything that is mandatory so it could be Parker v Usyk for the vacant belt. Both are Matchroom fighters so it could happen.

Whether you think he can do it or not, I still think AJ wants undisputed. There's always a way... and that's why you have promoters and managers.

Fuuuuk I hope it's a small ring.

Usyk showed nothing against Witherspoon to suggest he should be fighting for a heavyweight championship. But I assume the only alternatives for Joshua are dropping the belt and scheduling a unification bout with Wilder that would take precedence - the latter would be great, but I don't see it happening in 2020.

Drop the WBO, let Usyk and Parker fight for the vacant belt, make the IBF mandatory defense against Pulev and then come back to unify with the winner of Parker/Usyk, followed by fighting the winner of Wilder/Fury

exactly
usyk and parker are with eddie hearn so it wouldnt be going to pbc or top rank.
do the unification fight later.

Usyk will out box Jousha and Wilder

Make sure he has his last Will and Testimony in order.

So basically its gonna be pulve vs kownacki for the vacant ibf or something

[TheIronMike]

Hearn promotes Usyk, so all he has to do is have Usyk decline the WBO shot, while guaranteeing him a volunteer shot in the future. Have AJ put Pulev in the hospital real quick before May 2020. Then unify with Wilder/Fury winner. Then give Usyk his shot if he wants it.

Hearn has been frantically pushing Usyk since he moved up to heavyweight

... despite the fact that he is not Usyk's promoter

that fight will happen
