    In IBF´s defense, the mandatory was already set in 2022. It´s been over two years now and by the time Usyk-Fury II winner has another fight, it would be nearly 3 years.
    Enough is enough.

    E-Hearn still claiming AJ is the best HW in the world, that nobody can beat him, and that AJ deserves to and will fight the winner of Usyk vs Belly for undisputed and not one journalist out of the thousands of interviews he gives has ever put the question to him why does AJ deserve a third crack at Usyk (should Usyk win) when Usyk has already whooped his ass x 2 despite having everything stacked against him?

    In what alternate reality, universe or dimension would AJ ever have to face Usyk a third time after beating him twice?

    Hell, Usyk would never have been given a rematch had AJ just eked past him once.

    If AJ was to rematch J-Park again in what alternate reality, universe or dimension would J-Park ever receive a third crack at trying to beat him?

    AJ is 1-1 vs Fat Andy, the loss being a stoppage loss where he was bounced up and down off the canvas like a yoyo by a walking blob and this is the only time AJ has ever pulled an Usyk and fought in his opponents backyard. Where was Fat Andy's rematch?

    Why hasn't J-Park ever received a rematch after losing to AJ and his tag-team partner the ref in AJ's backyard?

    Where is all the chatter about AJ never having beaten the ''real J-Park'' now that J-Park has a new trainer? Funny how we don't see that narrative being pushed hard like they do with Usyk vs AJ despite the fact Usyk whooped AJ's ass twice.

    Usyk would be 38 by the time they ever fought each other again, which FTR AJ categorically doesn't deserve not now, not ever, but should he finally manage to beat Usyk that will get conveniently ignored and the victory will all be attributed to the ''new AJ'' with Boxercise Ben in his corner or the return of the ''old, aggressive AJ.''

    It also gets conveniently ignored by many that one of the judges tried to rob Usyk in the first fight, one did rob him in the rematch and one robbed him in the Belly fight too so we know they're going to go one further if there's a trilogy

    ReMatchroom ensure that AJ gets to roll the dice as many times as he wants until he secures the desired result, his beaten opponents only ever get one roll

    I don`t want to see Usyk v Dubois or AJ again, if he beats Fury again he should retire, would love to see Fury fight the winner of Dubois v AJ though.

    Maybe that's the point?

    Get the undisputed off the table as an anti-carrot to test Fury's interest in actually fighting again?

    It's not looked like he's taking it seriously so far, so maybe it's just a bit of mindgames?

    Im not liking how this is shaping up.

    Usyk has already beaten Fury, AJ and DD.


    How much intrigue is there really in any of these rematches.


    I get that the Fury Usyk fight warrants a rematch but in reality

    Zhang vs Fury

    Vs the winner of

    AJ vs DD

    Is magnitudes more appealing and exciting than

    Usyk vs Fury 2, then Usyk vs AJ/DD2.


    Hell, actually should look like this...

    Zhang vs Fury

    Vs winner of..

    AJ vs DD

    vs Winner of

    Parker vs Anderson


    Winner of all that vs Usyk for undisputed 2.



    I just have no real interest in Usyk rematching any of these guys next.

    Why is did the IBF make him vacate the belt..... Like what was the reasoning for it.

    (I don't want to hear conspiracy theories ala "they plan on making Usyk lose to Fury to get an AJ/Fury match up)....

    What is the reason that IBF gave? It's weird that the IBF keeps doing this. They made Crawford give up his title like 5 weeks after he became undisputed and gave it to Jaron Ennis who has yet to face anyone who will ever compete for, let alone, win a world title in that division. Crawford, at the time, was bound to a legal contract with Spence for a rematch, thus he couldn't negotiate any other fight without breaching that contract. Yet the IBF made a move on him as if he had been holding the IBF strap for years without honoring a mandatory opponent like a certain fighter I will not mention.

    So Joshua and Dubois, who Usyk has beaten collectively 3 times, have been gifted a fight for his title.

    Boxing. Stranger than fiction.
