IBF Mandatory Filip Hrgovic denied title shot for the 4th time - IBF president confirms

Let's face it.... $$$ talks.

 

I guess it depends upon your view of the situation. Yes he's mandatory and so deserves a shot under the IBF rules but under those very same rules the IBF can allow exceptions to take place.

Reality is this was always the likely outcome. Usyk/Fury 2 is a rematch fans want to see and they are contractually obligated to make the fight happen so there's no getting around that. I don't see Hrgovic picking up a discarded belt being much of an accomplishment.

But I do think if Fury wins the trilogy he should fight his mandatory in Hrgovic and they should not let Joshua jump the queue. But if Hrgovic beats Dubois and Fury beats Usyk in October they have said it will be Joshua/Hrgovic in Sept and in that case the winner of that fight fights Fury.

So Hrgovic just has to beat Dubois and Joshua and once he does that he gets his shot in 2025.

 

I don't understand. Does it mean they will not strip Usyk of IBF title?

 

Now with undisputed it effectively is like having one belt.

Hrgovic should beat more Top 10 contenders to get a title shot.

 

You nailed it also it’s not like Hrgovic has kept himself remotely busy looking to cement his position and force it . Hearn was allowed to do it when Ruiz beat Joshua and so should Usyk be entitled to do the same .

 

Which names ? Hrgovic had a gift decision over Zhang then fought Demsey Mckean ranked no 47 in the World followed by Mark Demori ranked no 145 in the World,now he faces Dubois a legit top ten fighter ranked currently at no 6 in the World .

 

Ok with me except the Joshua part. If Usyk wins, he should fight winner of Hergo-Dubwa.
If there is a trilogy that Fury wins, ok fight AJ but give Hrgo step aside money. He could then fight De Mori again.
