Boxing is a funny old game at times and sudden random things happen that change everything, this is one of them at heavyweight.
Undisputed unified heavyweight champion of the world Oleksandr Usyk is without doubt the King of the heavyweight division.
That said, he didn’t care much for the WBO title it appears and he has decided to give up and vacate it.
Just like that.
Instead, the UK’s Fabio Wardley has now become the WBO heavyweight champion of the world without winning the title in the ring.
Usyk Makes Surprise Move That Sees An Englishman Suddenly Become WBO Heavyweight Champion
He recently beat Joseph Parker by stoppage.
Parker had been lined up to take on Usyk before that.
See how things can change that fast in professional boxing?
Parker tested positive for cocaine in the Wardley fight since but he denies this.
It will be interesting to see who Usyk chooses to fight next up.
