Who's ready for Joshua/Usyk?

[Combat Talk Radio]

WBO in all their slimy glory, is still threatening to strip Joshua if he doesn't fight Usyk.

Bob Arum says he's broke.

So... Joshua/Usyk it is. Who's ready?

[Combat Talk Radio]

And just like I said, WBO repeated the threat.

At some point, you guys need to understand, WBO doesn't care. That's why so many fighters and networks don't acknowledge that belt.

If the IBHOF did the right thing and dropped it, we would see more unifications.

No one cares about that overrated Ukrainian bum.

He needs to earn it and beat a live dog.

Fury vs AJ next!

@anthonyfjoshua looked sensational against @KubratPulev. As to the @WorldBoxingOrg belt, @EddieHearn knows the meaning of commitment; the ball is in Hearn’s court. @usykaa @AKrassyuk @KlimasBoxing @Tyson_Fury @DanRafael1 @boxingscene @SteveKim323 @pugboxing @JakeNDaBox

He'll get paid off.

The fight is a £300million fight. Parting with $1million won't be a problem.

WBO doesn't go away like that. They've been threatening for almost two years now. If payoff were possible, it would have been done by now. And Usyk keeps trying to force it.

Chisora was the last hope, but he failed to stop Usyk.

Not too hyped for this fight at all Usyk is a class fighter but I don’t think he stands a chance against AJ or Fury

[Ry92]

Usyk is looking for cash out before going to bridgerweight for knows cant handle heavyweight size and power .If up for grabs usyk vs joyce both would get smoked by aj n fury. So wbo needs to calm down let there best hope biggest name aj fight fury for 2x n give usyk another test that isnt to tall say ortiz povetkin or ruiz let joyce fight breazale then step up again fight parker joyce needs a real test . both would be bigger names and better paydays they been getting and fans happy quality fights while aj fighting fury and put flip hrgovic the future on the undercard of both to get shine helping paving way for probable future rival 3-4 yrs betweem hrgovic and yoka as pros for the ship plus would be giving exposure for future sucession fight say AJ or Fury vs Hrgovic in 3 years

WBO isn't IBF - IBF is the only strict alphabet body in boxing. Look at how they moved both Dubois and Yarde to no. 2 on their rankings despite the fact that both never fought anyone.

Let me break it down for you: WBO President is Warren's boy and the tweet is basically a cry for money.

Warren right now also needs money and Fury vs AJ would pay him the most money he has ever made from a fight. So expect him to pull every string possible on his part.

They will pay him off once the fight is made and he'll change his tune.

That fight could possibly be worth £500million depending on where they stage it. Who won't want to be part of that? Money will change hands.

Fury says he doesn’t care about the WBO belt. He says he’s won it once and AJ should give it up to make the fight.

Let’s see if AJ does.

AJ seems to be all about undisputed but that seems to apply when it’s suitable for him. I won’t be surprised if he ducks the Fury fight instead of vacating

He probably wants more time to prepare for Fury and will use taking care of the mandatory as an excuse to do it

The real question is do you risk losing to Usyk and losing that huge money for the Fury fight? That’s what it’ll come down to. How confident are they of beating Usyk?

Usyk isn’t going to step aside. He isn’t getting any younger and fighting AJ is a big payday. Plus AJ v Fury is a 2 fight deal which puts Usyk on the sidelines for a year in terms of a title shot/payday, So he isn’t stepping aside.
