Congrats on getting the prediction right

 

Usyk isn’t lineal until Fury retires

Fury still holds the WBC, therefore he is not retired

Fury is still lineal

 

It's just that: if, then, else... like it has been for the last 4+ decades, and a couple of times before that.
You will get the issue that some say the claim is legit, and others will disagree.

The TBRB will probably make the call tomorrow or tuesday, which basically tells you all you need to know.
It will be determined inside a (virtual) boardroom (again), making the man that beat the man thing obsolete, and not in any way more pure as your average alphabet title nowadays.

 

That.
Look at the case of Larry Holmes and Muhammad Ali in the late 70s.
Why didn't Larry Holmes get the lineal championship belt right away in 1979?
The Lineal belt is the only belt that is not a joke, and with this Osyk case, the Lineal belt can become a joke.

 

yeah winning a ' vacant lineal " with a rematch against a boxer coming off loss to same opponent is stupid

 

Doesn't Usyk have to beat Fury or become Undisputed Champion to become Lineal Champion ?

The Trans Boxing Board have spoken;

(It would be even better if the idiots remembered to update the boxer's records.)

 

Why?

 

Yes.
Usyk should either beat Fury (the man who beat the man=lineal champion).
Or (if Fury really did retire) he needs to beat the WBC belt holder to become the undisputed champion.
In that case he would have every legitimate right to be a lineal champion, and thus he has no right to call himself a lineal champion; that is shameful.
the man who beat the man=lineal champion

 

That wasnt the case here.
The champion retired and the vacancy was filled with the top 2 guys fighting.

 

If there is a fight Fury Vs. Usyk will Usyk enter the fight as a lineal champion?
What an absurdity.

 

When Usyk beats Fury that will solidify him as the Undisputed Lineal Champion of the world! But as of rn Fury still holds that spot.
