They will strip the winner of Fury and Usyk anyway, why create an interim title the same month? Just make it for the real IBF belt.
Although the optimist in me is hoping they're making an interim fight because they've decided to play ball and allow their belt to be on the line for the rematch, the more likely reason is this, and also so they can hand the belt over instead of having a vacancy. Dunno why they don't just make this interim fight instead of stripping, let the rematch go with all four and then strip the winner of that if they don't comply. They're only screwing themselves out of more sanctioning fees by stripping the winner of the first fight instead of letting the rematch go on with all four titles. But hey, boxing orgs gonna boxing org. The most disappointing outcome is almost always the most likely
IBF is the best sanctioning organisation. Wilder has not fought in over a year, and he's not scheduled for the near future. If he doesn't fight for another year or longer, the dodgy WBA and WBC will still rank him.
Meanwhile, in the WBA board room, they are planning to match him against the winner of Charr-Quendo for their belt. Winner fights the mandatory, Jonathan Guidry.
Good fight and one which should be made They say Hrgovic is a ''bum'' even though He desperately wants to fight the best Seems like a nice guy Has beaten flavour of the month Big Bang who is very much legit (FTR I love Bag Bang) or if you scored it for Big Bang which many or most did most of them only had it for Big Bang by a round or max 2, and that includes a bogus KD, Hrgovic mourning the death of his father, and him giving away a lot of weight (33lbs) So when Hrgovic batters the Viking there's a very slim chance he might receive a modicum of credit for it from them
