Indeed. Which is why Anthony Joshua is just the #1 Contender as far I'm concerned.gregregegg wrote: ↑07 Mar 2021, 18:04Fury never lost the WBO, so by that logic AJ has never had the WBO. same goes for all AJs belts...gilgamesh wrote: ↑07 Mar 2021, 16:59I respect Usyk vs Joyce, but I won't recognize that fight as a title fight.

The WBO have already sanctioned Fury vs AJ, but they won't do it a second time, unless they do the WBA thing and make the winner WBO Super Champ, although I hope they don't. Then the belt will most definitely go to the winner of Usyk vs Joyce. I think that will be sanctioned for the WBO Interim title, then it will be upgraded after Fury vs AJ II is signed and recognition removed.
I'd be very happy to see the winner of Usyk vs Joyce defend their title in England against the winner of Parker vs Chisora...
And on that, the two losers facing off on the undercard would make for an interesting event.
It's still the biggest fight in Boxing though.
