Strip Usyk of his belts. He’s too inactive.

    Regarding the 70:30, for context the first Holyfield v Lewis fight was split 2:1 or 66:33.

    Holyfield (former undisputed champion at cruiserweight and heavy) held two of the three titles, had completed the Bowe trilogy where he lost the third fight, but he was coming off two wins over Tyson and getting his revenge against Moorer. And he brought the American market.

    Lewis since coming back from his loss to McCall was making short work of the B-tier but he didn't have any of the elite names. Though he did have the lineal title having beaten Briggs (not that it meant all that much at the time).

    Also note, 70:30 is supposed to be the WBC mandatory challenger minimum split...
