Maybe WBO and others might be thinking Usyk doesn't generate enough $$ to go around so splitting makes $ sense
Yep - I bet Eddie paid them all a fortune in fees.
Or it could be that the WBO are tired of having their belt tied up with unpredictable/ retiring fighters
Not enough certainty, perhaps??
And by the way,
Eddie and Haymon, etc, now have every incentive to see the belts stripped. Their man is no longer king.
All kinds of stuff going on behind the scenes, probably

Always love those interviews with Andy Lee
You can see how Parker could absolutely blow out Joyce here
Hope it happens - Parker needs a big statement to reset his career and get among the big boys
Not far long to wait now, very real lol
Make a statement time
