    I think you've come up with a great plan!

    A tournament is a good idea.

    Ok wbss style it is

    4 top men
    Kabayel, Dubois, Gassiev and Sanchez
    Opponents picked due to possible fights already lined up or discussed

    Round 1
    A. Dubois vs Wardley (rematch) (WBO title fight)
    B. Gassiev vs Joyce (WBA title fight)
    C. Sanchez vs Hrgovic/Itauma winner (vacant IBF title fight)
    D. Kabayel vs Miller (WBC title fight)

    You decide how you think Hrgovic/Itauma goes and who will be facing who

    Round 2
    A vs B (for WBO and WBA Super HW title)
    C vs D (for WBC and IBF HW titles

    Final
    For the unified possibly lineal title

    If Usyk is not defending against a top 10 opponent or no fight annouced or agreed within a year (agreed date can be later than a year), could it then be a new lineage?

    Tournaments especially more then 4 people don't work in boxing too many moving parts. A lot of the tournaments bigger than that were planned end up devolving into a mess. To the point you have to do research to understand the bracket.

    In today's era you can't build a bracket of elite guys who all agree to fight 3 fights against elite opponents in a row in accordance with a bracket. Fighters have largely given up on eliminators because they get no security from winning them and if they lose their career gets set back years. A tournament is basically three eliminators in a row.

    Or we could have a repeat with one fighter holding all the belts,holding the division up taking a crossover fight and then dropping all the belts to avoid the mandatory’s and then fighting a lesser opponent !

    I’m certain Turki has deep enough pockets and the connections that he could certainly make a Tournament possible involving all the Heavyweight Belt holders,but is he more interested in going the Zuffa route instead !
