Alexander Krasyuk, manager of boxer Alexander Usik, confirmed that the Ukrainian intends for Anthony Joshua to fight as a mandatory contender for the WBO title.
If Joshua refuses and wants to fight Tyson Fury, then the Brit may be forced to give up the title.
“We agreed that after defending the IBF (against Pulev) Joshua should defend the WBO (against Usik). However, there are Joshua and Usyk, who are the final decision makers. “
And let’s say Joshua after Pulev wants to fight Fury. It’s possible. So we have to officially pressure the champion through the organization. And the WBO will not be able to sanction this fight without Usyk’s permission. Sanction in the sense that they allow Joshua to defend his title against a person who is not the champion of his organization. “
“What’s going to happen? Either Joshua will fight Usik or he will be stripped of his title. If he is stripped of his title, Usyk will fight for the vacant belt against the number one at that time,” Krasyuk said in an interview with LuckyPunchnet.
