    Which mando is Joshua fighting?

    Is it Usyk or Pulev?

    I might be misremembering, but, as I recall Hearn was saying they're dropping the WBO to Usyk and someone else for a vacancy fight and fighting IBF mando Pulev but I wasn't sure if there was any new news and didn't see any threads about it.

    I can see AJ fighting Pulev at Wembley next. No way Eddie lets the IBF go to Bob Arum.

    Matchroom will keep the WBO in family with Usyk/Chisora, setting up a unification down the line.

      I agree. I don’t think Usyk’s people want him fighting a top 3 HW just yet

        I can imagine if they have to chose between Pulev and Usyk they will pick Pulev and vacate the other belt for Usyk to fight for seeing as he is another matchroom or DAZN fighter plus Usyk could be a nightmare for Joshua.

          Thanks buds.

          Is there a reason Joshua can't fight both?

            This makes sense... but then Eddie Hearn tends to make moves that dont make much sense sometimes so we’ll see.

              I'm sure Arum will Push for Pulev who been waiting longer

              It will be Pulev then Usyk

              For the Wilder fight to happen it is going to take another Massive Site Fee offer to get that done finally. Not saying AJ is afraid or avoiding Wilder BUT based on comments after his win, doesn't sound like much of a Priority but BIG MONEY can change that instantly.

              AJ vs the winner of Wilder vs Fury II needs to happen though
