Keep in mind the wbo is also the organization that twice promoted a dead fighter in their rankings and also had one Tom Schwartzranked 2nd best hvy in the world
. Keeps it in perspective. They always seem to fast track a lot of better known trinket holders right into top slots when they move up regardless of never fighting there. They're more about the brand than the actual division merit and that's with big respects to Usyk who will surely make his own way without some 'honorary title'. It's as basic as Whyte currently #1 set to fight Rivas #4, with a win it's clearly crooked to essentially demote a #1 mandatory for winning. At the end of the day though..it's just a trinket.
Usyk v Whyte..let's have it.
