A springtime ring return and the opportunity to fight for the heavyweight title. The two are not separate goals in 2020 for Oleksandr Usyk, but very much the expectation for his next fight. "[Usyk's next fight] should happen either in March or in April," Alex Krassyuk, general director of K2 Promotions-Ukraine confirmed to BoxingScene.com, reiterating his client's intention of challenging for the heavyweight crown.

Joshua just can't wait to drop that belt

[Get em up]

Usyk may beat Joshua but zero chance against Fury or Wilder I honestly think Parker is capable of putting on a good show with Usyk

As i said in another thread. Hearn has already hinted that AJ will likely drop a belt.

This is all a show so Joshua can save face with his fans if he ditches a belt he doesn't have to ditch.

Povetkin was the WBO and WBA mandatory at the same time.

the WBO have told talkSPORT.com that, as Povetkin is #1 in their rankings too, the bout also counts as their mandatory defence.

What has his defence against Povetkin previously got to do with this ?

Because it took place after the Takam fight, which means the IBF is next up in the rotation.

That fight was in 2018, The WBO is up again ,you know it’s 2020 ? The IBF however has had postponed before and is due in the rotation,stop lying he cannot hold on to two belts if both are going to ask to be next , and who is he saving face with if you admitted Pulev is next when he will fight both anyway ? You have next to no credibility here either . Ha

Not really sure what your getting at? We all know Pulev is likely first- it’s just whether he WBO enforce it or happy to wait (or come to deal to let winner face Joshua with the belt)

[NORMNEALON]

I wonder If parker will price himself out of this fight? Who will usyk fight if parker aka " the a side " demands too much money?? Kownacki ( maybe that's why the helenius fight isnt official yet ) , andy ruiz jr , or daniel Dubois are the next ranked guys in line .
