Usyk to be stripped

[Spicoli]

Unfortunately it was pretty much advertised in the lead up and Hrgovic has already said he won't do step aside. Shame really as if ever an exception should be made it's when Usyk and Fury have already agreed to the Oct rematch as contracted. More and more I'm wondering how meaningful "undisputed" really is. Sweeping all the belts up for initial unification is great, but lately some guys just seem to sit on it or leave division next. Ironic that one holds all the straps, yet all the bodies have different protocols and enforcements. Belts or no belts, fans know who is #1 at heavy right now and the stakes in rematch.

i have a sneaky feeling turki is planning something to either merge the sanctioning bodies or create his own in the coming years. he is working closely with the wbc & wba. he also has most of the top promoters working together. i wonder if he planned an undisputed belt for artur v dmitry? the ibf president darryl peoples said recently that oleksandr could apply for an exception, not sure it'll be granted

Off the top I don't like the growing influence and thumb on the scale of ol Turki. The bodies are just following the mega money with a wink n nod as are selected fighters and the well and interest will not sustain forever. He's already taking shots at the ibf for enforcing its mandatory for Canelo because it doesn't suit his desired wants and "dreams" for Bud vs Canelo. A fight that Canelo has already dismissed?! Sounds like he's readying for a push into the UFC too. Boxing better get ready to be the red headed stepchild once again. He's like a rich naive kid let loose in a toy store.

i agree the saudi's interest, as it is with other sports they are involved with is just public relations to better their image

If Turki managed to merge the governing bodies and streamline it all, that would be the most significant think he will have achieved.
