    Beterbiev is fighting his WBC mandatory on Jan. 13 against Callum Smith in Canada.

    The WBO president says he's not going.

    He asks about the unification with Bivol and Beterbiev's manager says, "All we need is $50 milllion."

    The WBO president laughs and says, "no way."

    "What about the Unification?"
    "With Bivol? All we need is 50 million dollars and we'll get it done."
    "Haha, no way, no way."

    Some good stuff here :sisi1

    Do the other organizations ever do something like this? How often does something like this happen? Might tune in for those if there are any, pretty interesting to see how this process unfolds.

    Anthony Yarde's manager says Anthony would request a push up higher than his current #9 rating.

    He also requested that Willy Hutchinson be ranked in the top 10.

    Krassyuk is apparently speaking on behalf of Shalom, who wasn't able to make the trip. He requested Billam-Smith be able to fight a voluntary in December, and then fight the mandatory challenger at a later point, which is likely to he Riakporhe. The president has approved the request for a voluntary on the condition the winner honors the mandatory after.

    Usyk's manager says Chris Billam Smith is fighting someone in December but it's confidential at the moment.

    They ask that it be considered a voluntary defense and push back his mandatory.

    Riakporhe's (who is #1) manager just showed up. And said he's just here to listen to what their ruling is.

    There's a guy speaking Spanish with the president now. I'd love to detail what's going on, but I barely speak English and that's my native language, so I can't make heads or tails of anything here. They're making ranking requests, best I can do :lol:

    Krassyuk reconfirmed there's a rematch clause for Usyk-Fury and the date is the only thing to be determined, after the Ngannou fight.

    Zhang's manager just asked where he stands in the rotation and a timeline on when they'd order Zhang to fight for the full title.

    WBO President:
    Usyk is our champion. We are very proud of him.
    He's our champion.
    He's going to be fighting Fury.
    And they have a rematch clause.
    Is that a done deal?
    Krassyuk says yes.
    He asks is there is a rematch clause.
    Krassyuk says yes.
    He said they are waiting for a date to come after Fury's fight.

    The WBO president said Joshua is their #1 contender.
    And he said Joshua wants to fight Jared Anderson (who is WBO #2).
    The WBO president asked is that happening?
    Anderson's manager said "I'm sure he does." Said he'd talk to him after this.

    Zhang's rep said Zhang is 40. He needs clarity on when he's fighting for the title.

    Sounds like the WBO President just wants him to "defend the interim" title.

    WBO president congratulated them. Talked about what a great guy Zhang is.

    And said Zhang can fight anyone. (Apparently anyone but Usyk.)
