WBO to order Joshua v Usyk in next 48 hours

[smashup]

AJ seems boxed in now, defend the belt against Usyk or vacate the belt (de value a Future Fury fight) and rematch Dillian Whyte are his only options as far as I can see.

"The WBO are set to order Anthony Joshua to defend his world heavyweight titles against Oleksandr Usyk within the next 48 hours, sources have told Express Sport.
Usyk has been in the gym for two months in Kiev training "to become a real heavyweight" and August 21 and August 28 have already emerged as potential dates for the showdown which is expected to land in London."

Joshua Usyk is a good fight, im looking forward to it

half looking forward to fury wilder 3

I don't mind Joshua v Usyk either, can see Fury smashing the fuck out of Wilder in exactly the same way he did before.

what happens if Wilder wins? do we get fury wilder 4?

If I was AJ I would not be happy, Usyck is tailor made to beat him.

I dunno about tailor made, i think Usyk is just a very good fighter who knows how to win

He wasnt that impressive against Chisora but i dont reckon he's gonna be a particularly Impressive Heavyweight in terms of exciting performances

Usyk is good but too small for these super heavyweights like AJ and Fury who can nullify the skill by their size.
