    For the WBC interim Light Heavyweight title.

    The winner will be the mandatory for the winner of Jack-Stevenson.

    Nothing of this is yet official. :) Especially the second part, unfortunately.

    LOL, he got Knocked out by Mohamedi.

    I think he's worse the Koelling and the guy Bivol fought.

    Bob Arum is influential but not omnipotent. ;)
    Ok, the Mehdi Amar part is quite easy to implement (they just give the guy money, and he will fight for the paycheck). But will they fight for the interim belt? It seems like yes, but let's wait and hear it directly from the WBC.
    And now to the trickiest part. So, Gvozdyk wins, what's next? WBC actually said earlier that "the winners must fight immediately after their matches". So it's even better than just become a mandatory. Do I believe in it..? I want to believe, but...

    Actually, I'm almost sure this fight will never happen... Even if the WBC forces it, Stevenson will just retire.

    Gvozdyk takes him out within 6. I really hope The Nail vs Stevenson happens this year.

    Meh..... di Amar is more like it. An okay stay busy fight for The Nail, he should KO him in a 3 or 4. Come on Bobfather you can do better than this.

    Will never happen.
    Haymon is grooming up Marcus Browne to face the winner of Stevenson-Jack.
    Gvozdyk is gonna get dicked around if he doesn't push for purse bids immediately after this tune up fight.

    That it is an interim belt only suggests that Gvozdyk will end up getting promoted to full champion in the end, Golovkin style.
    The Stevenson retirement after Jack seems more and more likely every day.
