BREAKING NEWS... IBF TO ORDER FURY/USYK WINNER TO DEFEND WITH HRGOVIC

The International Boxing Federation ( IBF) has informed both Tyson Fury & Oleksandr Usyk that the winner of their fight will be ordered to defend the belt against Filip Hrgovic with NO exceptions

The deal for the undisputed heavyweight championship fight, which will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Dec. 23, contains a two-way rematch clause that the loser of the matchup can trigger for a return bout.

Fury, one of boxing's top stars, enters the ring with his WBC belt, while Usyk will put his WBA, WBO and IBF titles on the line. But as is usually the case in boxing, it will be difficult for either man to hold all four titles for long due to obligations with four different sanctioning bodies.
