    The wbss I think likes to get some quotes and write up a press release before they make it officially official. We've already had external reports that Glowacki and Kudryashov are definitely in.

    The wbss themselves says the four seeds 'hand pick' their first round opponent from the other four. The info is still a bit short on detail. They don't clarify that the seeds pick in order 1 through 4. I'm worried number 1 wouldn't get first pick, which would be stupid as it wouldn't give an advantage to being seeded first.

    The divisions of the two additions to be announced in minutes don't seem to be specified. But they're supposed to be UNDEFEATED. Usyk please!?

    The wbss twitter is the best place to check for updates...

    I hope we don't get too many unnecessary rematches, i.e. Usyk vs Glowacki, Briedis vs Huck QFs.

    Let's hope Usyk, Glowacki, and Kudryashov are confirmed soon.

    The latest post from the WBSS seems to assume that the stars will actually pick their opponents rather than a lottery:

    Oh yea, the fighters will pick their opponents. That was clear from the beggining. They want to exploit all the tension and drama that will be created from this draft. Like why did fighter X picked fighter Y, does he think he's weak, and whats fighter Y got to say about it. Or, why did fighter X avoid fighter Z. This kind of things. If the investors are for real I expect a TV show to come from July's draft

    If Usyk is in, I expect he will be one of the last fighters announced.

    Rumours on Polish forum that Glowacki might go to heavyweight instead of the WBSS ...

    Maybe. Usyk is also contracted to HBO, so HBO and the WBSS need to make a deal as well
