    "champion will be ordered to face number two ranked challenger, Deontay Wilder, should Dubois be unable or choose not to participate"

    What a farse, the most fake champion just because his popularity gets to fight for the title again. Just Wow. Boxing is a joke. How is this even allowed?

    More exciting than the Dubois fight. Who would you want the mandatory to be?

    Stop viewing boxing as a sport

    It's a business as much as we don't like it

    And Wilder for the record, is not popular

    True, WBA elevated Wilder and he continues to be caressed, but in this case it's not bad, if the fight with Dubois fails, WBA must appoint another fighter or Usyk loses the title. I even hope this will be the fight we're going to see, it's a challenge for both of them.

    Its all sneaky matchmaking, Helenius won 2times with Kownacki for a WBA Gold so after Wilder took Helenius out he had to go high in WBA rankings

    That's actually good news. That's a fascinating match-up, and Usyk needs to fight someone ASAP. With them needing a couple months training camps, there won't be any good fights until fall/winter at this rate.

    It's clear they planned this but it's an exciting fight regardless

    It's one of the better match ups. Usyks not getting any favours. Joshua twice, then Wilder and hopefully Fury.

    Mandatory should be mandatory, Wilder cant just become mandatory, there is a line - Hrgovic and Zhang

    How is giving a shot to Wilder, ducking Wilder, at championship again a good news, good news would be Wilder Joshua

    Wilder should fight Joshua if he wants a shot at belt, he has no right to be mandatory.

    No he is unpopular, are you serious? If we stop looking boxing as sport, then being a champion means nothing.

    Sad about Hrgovic, eh? Just rephrased the thread, so make it not look like another one in the Hrgovic series. Again: WBA wants her title defence in order not to strip Usyk from it. If he fails to do, he can go with the next in line which is Hrgovic, but this is another title.

    Wilder is ranked higher in the WBC WBA IBF and Ring rankings than Joshua as well as being ranked higher than Hrgovic in every other body except from the IBF as well as also being ranked higher than Zhang in every other body except the WBO .
