    They are banking on one thing, and that is the fact that winner of final will vacate all the belts, except IBF which will be vacated automatically.

    They cannot force winner to vacate belts. And they just think that winner will move to heavyweight but both have said they will think over their future and will look at heavyweight landscape.

    This is far from confirmed and it basically relies on the facts I mentioned.

    It's clear that both finalists won't enter if repeat of cruiser-weight comes to fruition. But I have doubts that winner will vacate belts and move to heavyweight. Who he will fight? He will have to wait for title shot for 2 years at least. This looks unrealistic. Nobody is stupid enough to go up in weight in the current heavyweight landscape.

    Glowacky has stated this before but also Fedor Chudnov's team has sated that Fedor will likely enter the repeat of super-middle.

    Unless they plan to do second tier tournament it isn't going to work. I initially thought it would be a woman's tournament or something. Super middle is more feasible as therenare belt holders they could sign
