That's not how this works...
Its an absolute travesty that we even have these many belts.
Maybe they themselves are looking for their own step aside $$$.

People put a lot of these inconsequential boxers on a pedestal they don’t belong. He’s a mandatory - not a champion. WBO has the final say.
The big question is who would Usyk fight as a safe fight in the meantime ? Does he weigh that risk in and try and force a vacant belt for himself in hopes A.J defeats Fury ? Fury is not obligated to fight Usyk .
Logical thinking would be team Usyk rolls the dice and waits for A.J to collect the majority belts ,then assuming he fights a WBO title shot after AJ relinquishes it after the first Fury fight then also hopes A.J defeats Fury a second time and goes into the Joshua fight as WBO champion, making it another undisputed fight. .
Most people really fail to grasp what’s actually options and fighters best paths here to gaining a title and bigger paydays .

This is at least your third lie today . Ha
Usyks mandatory is not due until May ,the Mandatory was called because Usyk has activated it . The WBO has precedence over who actually comes first however . Either way anyone saying team Joshua needs consent has very little thinking skills .
A two fight deal between A.J and Fury would have zero relevance on Usyk waiting for a vacant WBO title after their first fight ,this would bring Usyk a title shot vs Parker most likely . Or Usyk just waits until the undisputed champ is crowned and he gets a real big money fight for all the belts so there is no how this works , this is how it works bc these are Usyks options beyond A.J vacating one .Last edited by REDEEMER; 01-11-2021, 05:58 PM.

Originally posted by Boxviewer View PostI know we all have the right to our own opinion, but statistically Fury's chin is way more suspected than AJ's for he has been put his back by more opponents, even by a cruiserweight, than AJ. It's to be seen how much remains in his tank when his body is properly worked by a heavy puncher like AJ. A terrible upset is waiting for Fury's fans.
I haven't seen AJs body punching in awhile but I don't see him going to Fury's body much because he'll be wide open to counters. I think he should if given the opportunity on the ropes. Fury's shown he can play cat and mouse when he wants to. I can just see AJ gassing outta frustration, swinging and missing, and eating jabs all night.

Originally posted by Bronx23 View PostI agree that Fury's been down more but he takes punches better than AJ if that makes sense. When AJ is hurt, he's HURT. We saw Fury get up from arguably the hardest HW twice. I just can't confidently say AJ would be able to do the same. He doesn't have that same will power.

How many times have we seen Joshua get rocked and still wobbly a round later?

Shame on WBO for this ****** rule that a WBO champ from below can come up and get a title shot just for being champion in a lower weight class. None of this is Usyk’s fault though.
Also, as a curiosity, does this apply to if you drop in divisions? What if Usyk had decided to go collect the 175 light heavy belts? Would the WBO bump whomever is their #1 for Usyk?

Originally posted by REDEEMER View PostYet didn’t include they will vacate the WBO belt ? Usyk cannot stop the fight it’s not even possible .Ha
Did you see what is being said anyway ? The WBO can override their mandatory position according to Hearn but that’s just a potential scenerio should Usyk make things difficult which we still haven’t heard directly from him other then stating he wants to see the undisputed fight himself ?
