    Ok….so the request hasn’t been denied yet? Thread title had me thinking it was but it looks like the deadline for extension hasn’t passed yet.

    Correct. 3 days until deadline.

    But it sure looks like Usyk will drop the belt

    Parker should fight Kabayel for his shot, have'm fight for the WBO title and then let's see the lay of the land when Usyk defends his 3 belts.

    Zhang was 26-1-1 and declared all conquering until Parker put that myth to bed.

    The 40+ year old Chinese man who almost died in the ring from dehydration? That guy was considered all conquering? To who? You and the Lollypop Guild?

    Nobody wants Parker to just be "given" the belt (including Parker himself)

    It looks very much that he will face Itauma for it

    Nope. He gets a shot because he holds the interim belt, which ironically was put up when Parker fought Joyce. Joyce was the WBO mandatory in late 2022, and people actually made a big fuzz about how he was risking his spot vs Zhang.
    The WBO itself has waited nearly 3 years for their turn at putting up a mandatory.

    Also, Parker was the underdog against both Wilder and Zhang, so he does deserve respect for pulling off two back to back upsets.

    By this very forum that you are a part of and assuming you actually read what is posted, you would be quite aware that was the case.

    This very forum had threads claiming Zhang was a bigger puncher than Foreman. How quickly and conveniently they forget.

    No, because Itauma is a 13 fight rookie who's yet to meet the slightest bit of resistance in the ring.
    I like Moses and hope like hell yes the future of the division, but don't delude yourself that he's proven himself ready ready for the top guys in the division. He's done nothing yet.
