I've seen that too, but I don't think he's moving up. Probably having hard time making the weight as the fight is on short notice.
Usyk is officially rated #1 by WBO. Apparently it was YPH that pulled out of the fight and IBF has stripped him, so Ramirez is the champ now.
It would be insane :yep I believe Chakhkiev-Ofalabi is still happening on Nov 4th, unless IBF orders him v Gassiev immediately (not likely) or Ryabinsky can somehow hash out a deal with Ramirez for early next year.
It's a good thing Ramirez is still proceeding to fight on that date against someone... Ryabinsky will pay him good money to come to Russia and fight Lebedev or Chakhkiev next Spring :think :scaredas:
You want to provide a source for this because once again i can't find anything saying Hernandez was stripped or the fight being off. The ESPN boxing schedule still lists the fight as happening.

Chakiev/Afolabi on Wach/Povetkin bill.Bellew was supposed to get shot at Ramirez/Hernandez winner according to Eddie Hearn,he said it in interview he did in july.It now seems Bellew will get shot against Ramirez/TBA winner.
