Anthony Joshua accepts Oleksandr Usyk fight order as world title mandatories pile up

Anthony Joshua said he is ready to fight Oleksandr Usyk next. His promoter Eddie Hearn, meanwhile, hinted the heavyweight would not be vacating any of his world titles. Joshua beat Andy Ruiz Jr in his rematch and regained the WBO, IBF and WBA (Super) titles, but two mandatories are set to be called on those belts. The WBO insisted after the fight on Saturday night Joshua must face Usyk before 4 June, while the IBF are also set to order AJ to take on their mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev. Joshua responded to the WBO’s statement in his post-fight press conference, saying: "In 180 days? Lets rock and roll mate. Usyk? No problem." Source- Metro
