As previously reported here on The Boxing Truth®️ per Sky Sports in the United Kingdom, with Usyk now having vacated the WBO world title in the Heavyweight division, per WBO rules, which is a standard throughout the entire sport regardless of sanctioning organization, Fabio Wardley, who was the undefeated mandatory challenger for Usyk in the WBO Heavyweight rankings, and held interim championship status as a result, following his stoppage of previous number one contender and former WBO world champion Joseph Parker on October 25th in London, England, is now recognized as WBO World Heavyweight champion. As of this writing, Olekaandr Usyk remains World Heavyweight champion recognized by the WBC, WBA, IBF, and IBO. Usyk’s potential future in the ring, however, remains uncertain as he has been recovering from a back injury in recent months.
This remains a developing story and we will keep readers updated on developments as they become available. Stay tuned.
