    Their argument made perfect sense. they don't want to give it to the #1 v #3 when #2 is fighting and active. they want to wait till Joshua fights Wilder. there's enough organisations giving out bullshit trinkets, they want this to be more meaningful.
    Number 1 and 3 are undefeated champions so it is meaningful. If AJ was a yank or signed up with GBP I am sure this would have enjoyed been for the Ring belt.

    The way I see it, the Ring want their "Belt" to be for the stand out best guy in the division. So they don't see no.1 v no.3 being good enough, because they feel no.2 has a squeak of beating no.1.
    How would you feel if they classed no.1 as Wilder and no. 3 as Ortiz and decided that would be for the Ring belt? It's not inconceivable and would be as equally unfair.

    I think the only time The Ring has accepted #1 vs #3 for the championship was Wlad vs Chagaev. The old editor updated the championship policy, it will be interesting to see if Dougie revisits them and makes any changes.

    No, it wasn't announced in the recent schedule with all those fights either last week. Although most of those were PBC fighters.

    Seems like it will be on Showtime, but I still haven't seen anything to that effect.

    The Showtime deal is up after this fight, notice they didn't announce it's extended in that press release (which normally happens). Joshua must be going HBO after this, if not, the two firms must be in a serious bidding war.

    If Ortiz chins Wilder there's gonna be a lot of sulking from the powers that be.

    They're rated 2 and 5 so wouldn't make sense.

    The 1 vs 3 can be for the Ring belt but in this scenario, where Wilder is clearly regarded as no.2, in his pomp, active and the most glamorous opponent for Joshua, it would have cheapened their status to award the title for the sake of it.

    Yep, I think the only time 1 vs 3 has been for a Ring belt was Wlad/ Chagaev.

    I think (traditionally) the Ring belt has been lineal. So, for example, when Mike Tyson had every other belt going, Micheal Spinks had the Ring 'belt' because he had beaten Holmes, who had beaten Ali, who had beaten Etc etc.

    They have accepted lower ranked people before .... I think they set up the Marvin Hart v Jack Root fight for the World Heavyweight Title when James J Jeffries retired
