WBO warns Joshua he could be stripped

WBO president Paco Valcarcel strongly hinting that the WBO will strip Anthony Joshua if Joshua unifies the four major heavyweightitles vs. Tyson Fury instead of first making a WBO mandatory against Oleksandr Usyk: "Anthony Joshua looked sensational against Kubrat Pulev. As to the World Boxing Organization belt, [Joshua's promoter] Eddie Hearn knows the meaning of commitment. The ball is in Hearn’s court." Valcarcel tagged Usyk on the tweet. Joshua currently holds the IBF and WBA championships as well as the WBO's; Fury has the WBC championship.
