Now A.J. defend the IBF title against the official challenger Pulev and this will be his last defense of the IBF title. He will give up those titles before the match with Usyk or Tyson Fury. Why? Because these are promoter games. In case he loses, Eddy Hearn would be left without a heavyweight world champion. This is how Eddy Hearn and Matchroom probably get a new world champion in the IBF. Hearn is the promoter or co-promoter of Antony Joshua, Joseph Parker, Filip Hrgovic, Dillian Whyte, Zhang Zhilei, Martin Bakole ... Matchroom also promoted Hunter, but after he failed to beat Povetkin, they did not want to extend his contract. In case Hunter beats Hrgovic, Matchroom will surely offer him a contract again. Probably Joseph Parker or Zhang Zhilei will box with Charles Martin to get him off the second challenger position.Usyk goes to the WBO belt. Then we will have a match for the IBF title of two Matchroom boxers. Boxing is big business today!
