Comments Thread For: Fury-Joshua: WBO To Conditionally Approve Undisputed Championship

[REDEEMER]

Excellent news, glad Usyk saw sense to step aside temporarily for this. This is the biggest fight in boxing and it has to happen now, it can't afford to marinate

Not sure that was the case, the WBO can over rule any fight they wish including a mandatory challenge.

[Earl-Hickey]

"According to sources, the respective teams for Fury and Joshua have been notified under no uncertain terms that the winner of their forthcoming bout must face whomever prevails between Usyk and Joyce (12-0, 11KOs). That bout must take place within 180 days following the completion of the Usyk-Joyce interim title fight."


Fantastic!

So if nobody drags their feet and the initial fights happen before the summer is out, we will see Usyk vs Joyce for the WBO interim and AJ vs Fury for the undisputed. Then the winner of AJ/Fury will have to relinquish the WBO belt, elevating the winner of Usyk/Joyce to full WBO champ. Fury and AJ will then have their rematch, and the winner of that will fight the winner of Usyk/Joyce to reunify all 4 championship belts.

What an awesome series of match-ups, and what a fantastic year of HW action coming up!

As if the WBC, IBF and WBA are all gonna go for that and not call mandatories in the next 18 months

None of them are going to order a mando this year, and that will be time enough.

Is the Wilder court challenge finalized yet?

[sicko]

Lets Go Already! Wilder Arbitration shouldn't prevent Fury from fighting. Let the Lawyers do their job while both fighters move on with their Careers while that get sorted out because allegedly that thing can drag out for Months if not YEARS!

Word on the street is wilder won't win that arbitration. So time to unify all the belts and let wilder earn his shot, if he can

[Eff Pandas]

Eddie was pressing them well with his media remarks. I guess it works if you do it right. Usually mfers just try to tip toe to a unification without mentioning the drama that they know could happen if they fook sh^t up.

WOW, a belt org ACTUALLY doing something right?!?!?!?

The WBO who woulda thought. Gained a bunch of respect

Wilder should just fall back, rack up a few highlight reel knockouts, start yelling “im back”, and draw an interest for a shot at the winner. Nobody wants to see a trilogy with Fury RIGHT NOW but that doesn’t mean there won’t be a demand for it in the future. A loss isn’t the end of the world Pac-Man is living proof

If AJ wins he's immediately relevant again. I think a single highlight reel knockout would do it.
