Anthony Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn has confirmed that the British-Nigerian could fight the winner of Deontay Wilder vs Andy Ruiz Jr for the WBC strap if it is vacated, Saturday PUNCH reports.
“Dillian Whyte could be fighting Joe Joyce for the WBO world title. There’s all kinds of eventualities. But the pressure will come from the mandatories, that’s just natural when there’s a unified and in this case potentially undisputed champion.”
Usyk and Fury’s four-belt shootout could see a hefty delay, however, with the IBF recently ordering the Ukrainian to face mandatory challenger Filip Hrgovic next. “For us it’s difficult because obviously we have a job to do for Filip Hrgovic but we also know the Saudi team very well, who have been working very hard to the undisputed fight.
“So, I’ve spoken to them, who obviously had their concerns and for boxing, that fight is very important. But also, Filip Hrgovic is mandatory so I’m sure there will be a resolution.”“Now they’re talking about the chronological situation of perhaps the WBA mandatory as well, which I think is Daniel Dubois. This is just what happens when there’s unified and undisputed fights. But I’m sure that it will get worked out.”All rights reserved.
