    He doesn't deserve it in any way, he hasn't won a single fight in an impressive way, he's not able to knock out lower-class fighters, he bled Fury and so what?, even such a Fury won 11 rounds.

    Let that fight happen, Wallin really thinks he can fight Hrgovic the way he fought Sokolovski and the even worse Olgiun with whom he struggled and the excuse was that he needed rounds...

    He has to fight somebody, and if he takes a no-risk opponent, everybody will spit on him. Truly being between a rock and a hard place. While "top conteders" Joshua, Wilder are fighting nobodies.

    Wilder is American he gets a pass. Just like Joyce, and Joshua.

    You don't earn a title shot you wait for it.

    Zhang is going to be waiting a while

    If no one else of the top fighters is fighting Hrg, the the Wallin fight is great for later this year. Hrg needs activity and he might get slightly out-boxed if he goes in half ass and lose, that will rid us of one and separate the true contender. I like it. That or AJ - Walling to see if he could beat a lefty to save his life.

    Thing is AJ and Wilder are not even involved in the title scene in any way right now so they are not obstructing anyone

    If Hearn gets the slightest sniff that the winner from the Undisputed fight is going to vacate the IBF belt,mark my words Hearn will be all over it lobbying for Joshua to get the shot for the vacated belt and then also the Wilder v Joshua fight will be as far away as it always has been .

    They should make Hrgovic vs Wallin for the IBF interim belt and then promote the winner to the full champ after Usyk vs Belly. That's a really good match up and one which makes a lot of sense.

    Wallin won his eliminator against Gassiev and will shoot up to the #2 spot after the IBF's next update but if AJ fights again after that he might take Wallin's spot. So in that case Team Hrgovic and Team Wallin should commence negotiating with each other ASAP to try and make that fight before the IBF's next update to their rankings.

    E-Hearn has spoken about making AJ vs Hrgovic before and that might be the route they opt to go down. E-Hearn wants AJ back out in December against someone credible ranked in the top 15 and then the big fight against The Dosser next year but would he risk putting AJ in with someone as risky and credible as Hrgovic in the interim? But why would the IBF bump AJ up to #2 when Wallin just beat Gassiev in an eliminator for the #2 spot?
