WBO to order Joshua v Usyk in next 48 hours
AJ seems boxed in now, defend the belt against Usyk or vacate the belt (de value a Future Fury fight) and rematch Dillian Whyte are his only options as far as I can see.
"The WBO are set to order Anthony Joshua to defend his world heavyweight titles against Oleksandr Usyk within the next 48 hours, sources have told Express Sport.
Usyk has been in the gym for two months in Kiev training "to become a real heavyweight" and August 21 and August 28 have already emerged as potential dates for the showdown which is expected to land in London."

Joshua Usyk is a good fight, im looking forward to it
half looking forward to fury wilder 3
Re: WBO to order Joshua v Usyk in next 48 hours
I don't mind Joshua v Usyk either, can see Fury smashing the fuck out of Wilder in exactly the same way he did before.
Re: WBO to order Joshua v Usyk in next 48 hours
what happens if Wilder wins? do we get fury wilder 4?
Re: WBO to order Joshua v Usyk in next 48 hours
If I was AJ I would not be happy, Usyck is tailor made to beat him.
Re: WBO to order Joshua v Usyk in next 48 hours
I dunno about tailor made, i think Usyk is just a very good fighter who knows how to win
He wasnt that impressive against Chisora but i dont reckon he's gonna be a particularly Impressive Heavyweight in terms of exciting performances

Usyk is good but too small for these super heavyweights like AJ and Fury who can nullify the skill by their size.
Re: WBO to order Joshua v Usyk in next 48 hours
Joshua Usyk is a top notch match up. sadly it feels a bit like the booby prize given what we've missed out on.
Re: WBO to order Joshua v Usyk in next 48 hours
So Joshuas got to agree to fight Usyk by the end of today or the WBO will take the belt off him.
Re: WBO to order Joshua v Usyk in next 48 hours
What a mess...
I also thought Usyk too small to compete against the main men but hear he's bulkd up a bit ?

This is probably true.
Usyk will eventually get hurt.

Joyce will be the next mandatory. I bet Joe could beat Wilder and maybe Whyte if given the chance.

I think Joe Joyce would have beaten Bugner.
