Did I miss something? Nobody is mentioning Usyk and the mandatory fight there. I know everybody wants the unification but there has literally been zero talk of AJ and Usyk or even AJ dropping that belt and Usyk fighting for a vacant title.
Just curious.

Originally posted by World ChampionUnification takes priority over mandatory. So after the Pulev fight, if they want to make Joshua vs. the Fury/Wilder III winner, they can file for an exemption as long as the purse bid hasn't been ordered yet.
The idea behind Joshua dropping the belt was to protect Matchroom in the event that Pulev pulled off the upset. Instead of Pulev gaining the Super WBA, IBF and WBO world titles, he'd only be gaining the Super WBA and IBF world titles, leaving the WBO title in Matchroom control. The downside of doing this though is complicating an undisputed fight. If Hearn believes an undisputed fight is a realistic possibility within the next year, he'll be less likely to vacate the WBO.

Usyk being with Matchroom and Pulev being with TR, if Fury can get out of his rematch with Wilder, knowing the size and demand for Fury v Joshua for undisputed I think both promoters can grease the wheels if need be to make it happen.

I feel the same way. I want an undisputed heavyweight champion of the world so bad. I don't even care who it is.
I agree Joshua very likely beats Pulev, but keep in mind it's a mandatory fight and very likely doesn't have a rematch clause. So if Hearn is fairly certain Joshua's opponent right after the Pulev fight is Usyk, it protects Hearn to have Joshua vacate the WBO since it turns Joshua vs. Usyk into a unification and means in the unlikely scenario that Pulev wins, Hearn still has a heavyweight title.
Hearn doesn't have any HW titles, Anthony Joshua has them, and Eddie works for him.

Warren, who did none of the actual winning, is now bringing it on all Billy Big Bollox and just basically trolling with these comments.
