Joshua-Klitschko Mandatories: Winner Could Lose A Belt

[Ruthless-RKO]

The winner of the world heavyweight title clash between Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko may not be allowed to hold both titles for long.

But either Joshua or Klitschko could lose one of the belts as quick as they have won them after both the WBA and the IBF have ordered the winner to fight different opponents.

Kalle and Nisse Sauerland have confirmed via Twitter that their Bulgarian fighter Kubrat Pulev, who is the mandatory challenger to the IBF bauble, must face the winner of Joshua-Klitschko.

They claim Pulev will get his shot next after the ruling that no interim fights are permitted. And that news came hot on the heels of the WBA claiming that the winner of Joshua-Klitschko must next fight unbeaten Cuban Luis Ortiz, who is also signed to Eddie Hearn.

Joshua and Klitschko will find it hard to resolve this situation and the waters could yet be muddied further if the pair agree to a rematch.
