It will be interesting to see what Usyk does with this rumour of a December tournament in the middle east. Will he now face his mandatories Dubois or Hgrovic in the summer or will they be paid off and he is inactive until the end of the year?

What will Fury do, will he also decide to not fight until December as AJ has said he will? Wilder will not be facing Ruiz do has no obligations.

This means that the top 4 heavyweight fighters will be inactive waiting for the middle east money.

It also leaves Joyce out in the cold although I am sure he would not mind beating up the best of the rest.
