Does anyone know how it works regarding mandatories and Klitschko's 3 world title belts (I dont believe the IBO demand mandatory defenses)???
I recently read somewhere that he has to have a WBO mandatory defense every 18 months! Is that how it works with the WBA and IBF too? So in effect he has 18 months to mandatory defend all 3 titles?
Also, we all know that the Fury vs Chisora winner will become WBO mandatory and that Pulev was the IBF mandatory, but who is the IBF mandatory now that Pulev has lost? Glazkov?
And God knows whats going on with the WBA! Is it usually their regular champ who is mandatory or their #1 ranked contender, which would be Luis Ortiz or perhaps Jennings now due to Ortiz testing positive PED's?
Last question... Does anyone know if you can be mandatory for mutiple belts???

Klitschko's mandatories/voluntaries???
Re: Klitschko's mandatories/voluntaries???
a mandatory is due in 12 18 months when there is one
ie now the ibf is done and wbo, there is no mandatory so he can do volunatry defences, same for wba
ie jennings
WBO eliminator is fury/chisora and winner likely to fight Vladimir in summer
Pulev was IBF so they will arrange another Semi tournament with likely Glazkov, Browne, Cunnigham and another one. however some people usually pull out at some stage
WBA reg champion is chagaev who usually has to face superchamp after around 18 months
ortiz was supposed to face chagaev but he was +ve doped so chagaev is getting a voluntary maybe rematch oquendo or lucas browne (whose team are looking for it)
You cant be mandatory for multiple belts, saying that Wladimir and Sam peter 1st fight was a IBF AND WBO eliminatory, and he faced IBF chamo next chris byrd
