Very, very smart on Duco. If Klit vs AJ comes to fruition, and Wlad wins, he'll have a year to meet his mandatory (Parker) obligations. That puts Joe off for another year. If he can get the WBO to sanction a title fight with Ruiz, much more beatable than AJ, and wins, he gets a WBO title and makes Klit or someone else a much bigger fight. Brilliant. AND, he fights for the title in NZ instead of playing second fiddle in the UK.
