We could see another lineal (or Ring mag at the least) champion crowned after season 2 of the WBSS Cruiser tournament?
Tabiti/ Fayer are #2 and #3 in the IBF (which #1 vacant), so it would appear their fight could be an eliminator for the mandatory spot, or depending if Usyk has decided to move up, it could be for the vacant belt. Minimum, the winner becomes #1 with the IBF.
Briedis is the WBC #1, Gevor is their #14. Briedis wins, he remains WBC #1.
Vlasov is the WBO #1, Glowacki is their #2. That fight could be for the mandatory or an interim title. Minimum, the winner is #1 with the WBO.
The only problem (as usual lately) is the WBA. They already have Shumenov holding one of their belts, and Goulamirian holding their interim.
Briedis could remain #2 in the division (behind Usyk) if he advances to the finals and the winner of Glowacki/ Vlasov could arguably move to #3.
The seeding sets up these possible semi’s:
Briedis/ Gevor winner vs Glowacki/ Vlasov winner
Dorticus/ Masternak winner vs Fayfer/ Tabiti winner
If Usyk announces his intentions to move to heavy after the Bellew fight, the 1st semi there, could crown 2nd lineal champ.
