Joshua to Vacate One of his Titles?

Joshua to Vacate One of his Titles?

Recently Anthony Joshua beat the former undisputed champion of the world Andy Ruiz Jr to reclaim his titles he lost in one of the biggest upsets in the world of boxing and finally could go up against the best fighters like Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder and Oleksandr Usyk. This is a huge opportunity for Joshua to redo history and come back from his lost and win the WBC world heavyweight championship when he gets his chance however there is one issue that the WBO and IBF has given him in the past few weeks!

This is a huge decision for the new heavyweight champion since he may have to vacate one of his titles after regaining his titles. The IBF have ordered him to fight Kubrat Pulev next in April and the WBO have ordered him to fight Oleksandr Usyk in his next fight meaning he will have to fight one and vacate the other and win that title back in the future since he won’t be able to fight both fighters at the same time.

Anthony Joshua will most likely not vacate the titles since the WBO and IBF board will understand he will only fight one of the fighters he has been told to fight! Oleksandr Usyk will be the man to fight since he is unbeaten and has been proven to be one of the hardest fighters to fight right now! Will he take this fight or the Pulev fight first?
