So did Ugas turn down the fight or not? Why didn't he enforce his mandatory?

Ugas is PBC, Russian dude is Top Rank no?

What difference does that make to you? Do you respect a fighter who has never won a single world championship turning down a mandatory title shot?

They will have to face each other after their upcoming fights.

Ugas better. If he doesn't, I don't want to hear any crying about people avoiding him from himself or supporters. Think about it, why is he even letting Bes***** take an interim bout in the first place? Did he get paid to step aside?

Bes***** got cut in his last fight so Ugas was allowed to take an interim fight.

Yes, but Mandatories Trump boxing Politics, if you are #1 the Champion has to fight you or give up the belt, I think Gary Russell is with PBC and The Mongolian Fighter who is ranked #1 is with Top Rank and they fight IN February, The #1 Contender can decline the title shot, but he will get dropped in the Rankings for declining the bout example Erik Bazinyan was #1 contender for Saunders 168 pound title, but Bazinyan decined the fight so he got dropped to #4, Danny Garcia (PBC) is #1 for Terence Crawford's (Top Rank) 147 pound title, If Garcia DEMANDS his mandatory shot, Crawford would have to either fight Garcia or Give up his title, Bes***** was #1 Contender for Keith Thurman's belt for about 2 years, But Bob Arum and Carl Moretti advised Bes***** to NOT take the Fight as they thought Bes***** was TOO GREEN to fight Keith Thurman, so Morettti,Arum all agreed to DECLINE the title shot, and take a more winnable fight for a lesser title and lesser money against Butaev which Bes***** won.

My mistake the Mongolian fighter who is fighting Gary Russell is now with PBC
