    Or should he risk fighting Usyk first and have that delay everything if Joshua loses first fight or Fury gets impatient?

    I personally think he should vacate it because we don't want to see Usyk vs Joshua or Fury, nor do we want to see this fight being delayed further. Even if Joshua wins, there's always Fury

    We want Joshua vs Fury, or at least most of us do. I don't think it really matters that much if one belt is missing.

    AJ crys at night knowing if he doesn't fight Fury next year his casual fangirls will ditch him for dad boy Fury. Alpha daddy.

    Joshua has more UK fans, but what about Fury's US fans? And what about the fact that a lot of Joshua fans are Fury fans and vice versa?

    Fight Usyk then Fury/Usyk in a battle of the undefeated to determine the baddest man on the planet.

    Unification fights supersede mandatories so the WBO shouldn’t be an issue

    AJ would probably vacate, because Usyk has a good chance of beating him and than he loses a lot of opportunities.

    Joshua (or maybe Fury) vs Usyk for all the belts!

    Joshua should be fighting more often, THREE times a year, then he wouldn't need to worry about vacating titles.

    He should have defended against Pulev in AUGUST (easy fight, Pulev is old and faded) and then fought USYK in December (with Fury-Wilder III also in December) and then Fury-Wilder winner in May of 2021.

    Yeah they keep saying Joshua has a lot more to learn but then limit him to 2 fights a year.

    Id be down for both Joshua and Fury to drop all belts if it made the fight. We know who 1 and 2 is in the division so the sanctioning bodies can do one if they are trying to disrupt the fight, they arent needed here.

    Most of AJs fans are casuals who think Joshua is the reincarnation of Apollo Creed.

    Most of Furys fans instead are boxing connoisseurs.

    There was no chance they were doing a Joshua fight in an empty arena unless both Joshua and Pulev were willing to take a major paycut. Im still not convinced Joshua fights this year at all yet.

    It's unfortunate that Usyk is in the way of them fighting for undisputed sooner than we'd all like, but it's understandable that he doesn't want to step aside as he'll be 34 by the time he gets the AJ fight.

    I'm more on the 'Vacate the WBO and fight Fury' side personally, i'm just too excited for that fight to wait an extra 3/4 months! :lol:

    Also, as an AJ fan, i'm not too confident that he beats Usyk!
