Hearn is just setting DAZNs money on fire at this point

Looks like Pulev wants to take this to a purse bid. Or maybe Uncle Bob is spoiling for a showdown with Hearn. They haven't been getting along too well lately.

Why doesnt DAZN make the fight for February, then if Joshua wins, he can fight Usyk at the end of May?

It’s almost February now ,doesn’t make much sense and then having to squeeze Usyk fight in May ? That won’t happen .

"It appears that Pulev –– who was last in action on November 9 against Rydell Booker at the Chukchansi Park in Fresno, California –– has won the race to be Joshua's next opponent, with WBO mandatory Oleksandr Usyk, the former undisputed cruiserweight king, being made to wait until later in the year."

If this is true, why not make Usyk vs. Whyte? I would rather that than Usyk vs. Parker!

Whyte isn’t ranked in WBO .

Whyte isn’t ranked in WBO .

If they're going to strip Joshua, then I understand. But if they're not going to strip Joshua, can't Usyk fight whoever he wants?
