Heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces a decision of keeping one of two titles after being told TWO sanctioning bodies want immediate defenses. The International Boxing Federation (IBF) has already stipulated number one contender Kubrat Pulev is next before Joshua went through with his redemption rematch with Andy Ruiz Jr. Just days after his triumph, Joshua has now been ordered to battle Oleksandr Usyk as the World Boxing Organization (WBO) mandatory challenger.
