Comments Thread For: Joshua Believes WBO Should Hold Fury Unification Above Usyk Defense

[Robbie Barrett]

you guys know fury has to fight wilder again
plus have you guys heard fury cant fight in the UK again he doesnt have a license unless he wants to explain is he really eating boar or not

That rematch clause ran out, he doesn't have to fight Wilder.
Don't need a British license to fight in the UK. Haye-Chisora got around having their licenses removed by getting licensed in a different country but fighting in the UK. Nothings stopping him from getting a British license either.

IBF doesn't you have to apply hence the Pulev fight and Fury being stripped of the IBF.

Netx WBO with Usyk is the issue but the problem there was the Ruiz rematch it was agreed no skipping to allow that.

The WBC on the other hand ... you can get away with anything .. which Wilder managed for years.

I think the WBA is quite soft on these things also.

I thought all Orgs had it written that Unification takes precedence over mandatory?

The most feared man on earth? Pulev won't take, step aside money. Usyk is demanding his shot. Andy doesn't look scared. Wilder is in hibernation now, but not because of AJ. Even Whyte is up for a try. Dont even mention Parker. There is a lot more involved than how much AJ gets paid. He has to really impress with Pulev, show he has canons protecting the crystal.

Not if its a 2 fight deal.

Whether Fury has to fight Ducktay Whiner again is still to be decided. But I'm guessing mediation/arbitration will go in Fury's favour. And not having a current licence doesn't mean he can't fight in the UK, it just means he'll have to reapply for a licence. What some farmer looking for a handout says won't affect anything; Fury received a backdated suspension for his failed drug test, nearly five years ago, might I add. Case closed. Sit down.

What I don't get is, why doesn't Usyk just wait a while and potentially fight for all the marbles after Fury or Joshua fully unify? The winner will have mandatories all over the place, so he could be first in line.

First of all if Joshua fought twice a year this wouldn't be such an issue. Having one fight a year is ultra-lame. Personally I'd like to see him take 3 fights a year depending on how tough the fights turn out to be

But yes Fury should get priority. Usyk has only beat Chisora and a nobody at HW . Usyk should wait and fight the winner of Fury Vs AJ. That would be fair.

Usyk defeated Joyce . Usyk is a commodity at heavyweight as a undisputed champion coming in at official heavyweight. You can’t take credit for defeating a fighter because someone else did , the first guy to hand Usyk a loss deserves full credit .

People always point to AJ not fighting enough but the reality is he’s a target because he is...there’s literally no difference from when Wilder or Fury who never even had a title defense was champion beyond AJ is more professional at how he conducts his planning and promotion .there’s more money invested with him so there’s longer training camps .

Belts don’t matter. Recognition does.

Only the IBF Values Mandos over Uni’s but you can get by that if you apply. The WBO says it does but it can be bought.

The WBC is weird as they have taken both side of the argument.

WBA is moody like the WBC

This is not yet true. As of now it is hung up in litigation and nothing has been ruled on.
