Is the WBO saying that he HAS to fight his mandatory in 120 days regardless of who it is? Is that in keeping with the WBO rules, as it seems awful fast to defend your title against a mandatory so soon after winning it?
If Haye is in this for the money, he'd be foolish to fight Parker as opposed to AJ or Bellew. The WBA route is a mess, why would he go that route? And fight Klit or Ortiz?
The IBF won't force a unification fight if Parker becomes a belt holder, as Parker will be removed from their list once he becomes the champ. As I understand it the mandatory will still be enforced, Parker just won't be it. It will likely be Pulev / Haye that Joshua must fight after his next fight.
Yes I understand it that way, this mandatory situation with the WBO only applies because Ruiz and Parker are fighting for a vacant belt, so they don't let them get it that easily. If Parker had beaten Tyson Fury when Fury was the champ, Parker wouldn't have had to face his mandatory so quickly after (120 days).
I'm not sure why Haye is apparently so keen on going down the WBA belt. Maybe he'd like to face Wlad again, which could happen as the Browne fight certainly isn't made yet - apparently Browne wants a lot more money than what's being offered. Haye is a slimy buggar, who knows what evil plans he is scheming up haha.
