    Why because they follow through with what is in their rules? should they be more like the WBC who changes their mind constantly and blatantly protects fighters from facing certain mandatories for 3+ years?

    Id take that a step further and say they should all fight each other in the meantime to see who gets first crack at Usyk

    Speaking of fighting bums Fury fought Chisora and Nagonnu protecting his spot.

    I kinda hope he does. I want Usyk to retire now at the peak of his powers.

    He is getting stripped, this is 100% certainly. Every media report it. Usyk was given a deadline. Unless he decide to fight Hrgovic next, which he won't, he is getting stripped.

    yeah same he has nothing left to prove and has always been the road fighter with none of the hometown antics of his peers to help him get there.

    fury vs usyk 2 wont happen in october is my guess. IBF is strick with manadtories though it's hard to become undisputed with obligations.

    even if he doesnt have the IBF belt anymore everyone would still consider him the undisputed champ.

    It seems ridiculous to me that the IBF would sanction Fury vs Usyk, knowing that there is a two fight deal and then strip the winner of the title for honouring that deal.

    They should let the two fights go ahead.

    They will also lose credibility by recognising someone else as the champion.

    They did it to Tyson Fury after he beat Wlad six days later. Let's see if they set a new record with Usyk.

    I think it was ten days but it's a ridiculous thing for them to do.

    Stiff bum Hrgovic does not deserve a title shot.

    His last three fights:
    -42 y/o Mark de Mori (he's still fighting)
    -Demsey McWho?
    -Robbed 40 year Zhang

    Dumbass ranking system

    IBF ordered almost entire top echelon of fighters to fight that bum, they all rejected the fight for eliminator.
