Nice, I already feared another 160-like situation where all the belts scattered all over the place again after years of gathering.
Let's see. According to Hearn, the Saudis are building a stadium for the Ruiz-Joshua December fight? What are the odds in the Spring 2020 we see Kubrat Pulev (IBF #1) vs. Adam Kownacki (IBF #3) for the vacant IBF Heavyweight Title?
so whatever happens the wbo will strip ruiz or joshua and they will be forced to fight pulev, if ruiz wins then he'll want to fight wilder for ppv money then he'll lose the ibf belt and he'll just have the ibo and wba vs wilders wbc belt. pulev will end up fighting somebody else for the vacant ibf title and usyk will be fighting someone else for the vacant wbo belt. so most likely by the middle of next year there will be four boxers holding heavyweight belts if ruiz and wilder were to fight early next year and get a draw. LOL and people hated the klitschko's holding all of the belts and couldn't wait until they left so there could be an undisputed champion. that won't happen any time soon.
AJ or Ruiz will end up fighting the IBF mandatory (Pulev) for their next fight and Usyk will 100% be fighting for the vacant WBO title. Ruiz’s side don’t recognise the WBO so won’t bother and Hearn wouldn’t put AJ - Usyk together.
